The Lord of Hell brings his darkly comic whimsy to Los Angeles crime fighting, with brisk, witty results.
Campy and pulpy, with dry wit. A comfort watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Netflix.
Heads up on moderate sex and nudity. That is past what the TV-14 on the box suggests. Beyond that, some strong language and some violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles, where he has teamed up with LAPD detective Chloe Decker to take down criminals. But the longer he's away from the underworld, the greater the threat that the worst of humanity could escape.
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
