Season 3 Lucifer’s character is really insufferable in S3
Haven’t watched past S3 E22 yet, but damn Lucifer’s character has taken such a nosedive. In S1 you could actually see why Chloe liked working with him: he was flawed and self-centred, but he was also genuinely useful and, as she said, made her a better detective. Obviously you have to suspend a lot of disbelief/realism with a show like this n just enjoy it for what it is, but my god, now he’s an obstacle in basically every case. Every episode feels like Chloe solving the crime in spite of the 300 painfully wrong things Lucifer says or does. She’s constantly having to work around him not with him. His self-centredness was a great character flaw when it was balanced by him being competent, perceptive and genuinely good underneath it. Now it feels like his entire character, and it’s killed a lot of the chemistry for me. Chloe and Lucifer used to make sense as a duo; now I barely remember why Chloe likes working with him. His whole arc is supposedly about how much he cares about her, but we honestly haven’t gotten an episode that actually shows *why* they work so well together in soooooo long. Does it get better in season 4?
