Now, I’ll admit, it has been a while since I read the comics, what storyline are they going with here?

ETA: Now I see that Lucifer is played by the actress from GoT.

Kinda meh on this.

This is a property that will likely never be done justice in live action.

As many other written works have been treated.
At least we still have the original work.

I don't know how a female playing this role possibly works.

ETA: The more I think about this, the less interested I am in this movie.

Why is that?

I'm going to give it a shot just because it's the craziest thing I've ever read, but I don't see how you could do this justice. Although the trailers looked pretty good.

I haven't seen this yet, so I don't have an opinion yet. But I don't know why a female, who's pulled off an androgynous look quite well in the past, playing a shape-shifting character designed to look like an even more androgynous David Bowie is an automatic problem.

because he sees a woman listed and jumps off a fricking cliff assuming it is bad instead of giving it a shot and seeing if it is good or not.

This show is awful. I quit after 2 episodes. I loved the comic growing up. I feel like part of my childhood died. The show is that bad. Maybe HBO can do a proper treatment one day.

I wouldn’t call it awful. But it’s also not 85% worthy either. I am only a few episodes in. 5/10. Visuals are cool. Acting is meh. Story is meh. Certainly not a weekend all in thing. Probably take me a few months to finish.

No. It’s the huge chick from got. She is like 6’4” or something insane. I don’t think she is attractive at all.

Favorite comic of all time. TV adaptation I'll give a solid 7/10. Writing was better than I expected, but some of the acting was just not good. Overall, I enjoyed it and will definitely watch a second season

You can't be serious You watched TWO episodes of a show and some of your childhood died? It's pretty easy to just forget about a TV show and not let it effect the memories of your childhood.

Well Neal Gaiman was %110 supportive of this show and had a big say in it so I doubt you'll get anything else.
