Lucifer Series Premiere – “Pilot” Review. Being Bad Can Be So Good.

Having a sexy bad boy as the star of a new series can either be a success or complete disaster if he can’t carry off the role convincingly. Thankfully, Fox doesn’t have that problem with Lucifer’s lead Tom Ellis who plays the deliciously devious Lucifer Morningstar. Lucifer is a naughty, entertaining series you will want to tune in to each week. Ellis balances playing Lucifer as the fiendishly handsome master of Hell with just a hint of morality. My only concern is Lucifer’s humanity. The only way this show can succeed is if Lucifer continues to remain unscrupulous in his endeavors. He can still be a duplicitous manipulator who helps humans as long as he punishes the guilty as only the Devil can.

The X-Files – “My Struggle” and “Founder’s Mutation” Review. Always Believe.

The use of flashbacks to Roswell circa 1947 gives viewers clues to the bigger puzzle being presented in “My Struggle.” The reemergence of a key character raises some eyebrows as to how deep the so-called alien colonization conspiracy goes. If you aren’t familiar with the history of The X-Files, it’s too complex to sum up in just a few words. “Founder’s Mutation” gives The X-Files’ fans the dynamic and sarcasm they’ve come to love and appreciate about Mulder and Scully. It dives into what I love about The X-Files —strange and wondrous cases about peculiar oddities and unexplainable phenomena. Be warned, if you are sensitive to sounds like high-pitched tones and screeching, you may have some difficulty watching parts of this episode. Also, the mutations of some of the children are quite jarring.
