Necrotongue

Lucifer's recent involvement in the investigation was quite a ride, and I have to hand it to the creators for their portrayal of Eve - she's up for anything (from sex to breaking the law), yet she always gave me the impression that if I shined a flashlight in her ear, her eyes would light up. I found myself laughing and certainly wasn't bored, which is exactly what I expect from this series.

The fourth episode was the most enjoyable for me so far in this season. Eve brought a refreshing energy to the plot, keeping the investigation engaging, and there were plenty of laughs to be had. My favorite scenes included Linda's ultrasound and the bar fight.

A real treat — it's the first episode I genuinely enjoyed in this season. If it weren't for that melodramatic ending, I'd easily give it four stars. Finally, we got an investigation that kept me engaged, sprinkled with some humor. And believe it or not, they even made the presence of an exorcist justifiable. 3*+

If I gave the last episode three stars, I logically had to drop this one down to two. The investigation was lackluster, the humor was too weak to stand out, and the main focus seemed to be on the muddled relationship drama. And that plotline with the exorcist… honestly, it just didn't do it for me.

I was eagerly anticipating the new season. However, the first episode didn't quite live up to my expectations. As I've mentioned before, I view Lucifer as pure entertainment, a show where I can have a good laugh. Unfortunately, this time, the laughs were few and far between, and the romantic storyline, which I wasn't particularly invested in, seemed to take center stage.

A few years ago, I was really looking forward to this epic fantasy series. Until the end of Season 4, I more or less enjoyed it, but then came a turning point. The writers started increasingly ignoring logic, and my favorite series was gradually turning into a farce, which often made me shake my head in disbelief. I hope I live to see the day when George R. R. Martin writes the ending so that I can read it, but I’m not counting on it...

The plot of Season 8 was extremely weak. It didn't surprise me after the previous shortcomings, but I still thought that the writers were taking a one-year break for a reason. This makes it seem like they just needed more time to totally twist logic to suit their needs. Disappointing, but at least it's over.

Well, I've finally reached the end of the series, and the biggest plus is that it put an end to Mr. Benioff and Mr. Weiss's misery. The conclusion felt like a cop-out, bringing the story back to square one — a weird king ruling, with an advisor who doesn't want to be one, and some characters ending up right back where they started (seriously, what's the deal with the Wall?).

The whole city destruction thing felt like it was just to check off some boxes for the screenwriters. The plot was a mix of eye-rolling and funny moments. As we're nearing the end, the creators didn't hold back on the death toll. Cersei's refusal to surrender turned King's Landing into a modern-day Dresden, and the more sensitive viewers might've needed a tissue or two.

The fourth episode brought a welcome change - no more relying solely on audio cues; we finally got some visuals! But aside from that, it left me scratching my head. With the darkness lifted, it exposed a bunch of inconsistencies. Like, why would anyone let an army with long-range weapons just stroll onto their turf? And why wouldn't the enemy take advantage of that? I doubt Tyrion would hobble more than a hundred meters to the walls. Also, a deflowering took place, but given what we've seen in the past seven seasons, I'm pretty sure it was the only one left.
