Netflix viewers are staying up until nearly 2am to binge the gripping series Lucifer, which has become a major hit on the platform. The show, an American urban fantasy created by Tom Kapinos, first aired in 2016 but continues to attract new fans.
Viewers Hooked on Lucifer
The series was brought to attention on Reddit, where a viewer admitted they cannot stop watching. One commenter said: "Me, after staying up until nearly 2am on a work night to finish season four." The post was shared alongside a picture with the phrase "I hate myself."
Many others echoed similar experiences. One said: "Been there. Done that. Worth it." Another replied: "I've binge-watched the whole series in about a week and now it's like I don't know what to do with myself." A third added: "It's addictive."
Season Length Changes Noted by Fans
Some viewers noted the difference in episode counts between seasons. One commenter wrote: "What threw me was being spoiled by the 26 hours of season three and having to deal with only 10 in season four. I know, I know... we are lucky Netflix picked it up, but still!"
Another viewer commented: "Make it until 4am and that's me." Someone else added: "I took a week off work to binge it at my pace. Awesome decision."
About the Show
Lucifer centres on Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), an alternate version of the DC Comics character created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg. In the show, the devil leaves Hell to run a nightclub in Los Angeles, but his life changes when he becomes a consultant to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The supporting cast includes Lauren German, Kevin Alejandro, D. B. Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Rachael Harris and Aimee Garcia. Netflix initially owned and aired the later chapters after saving the show from Fox, with the first three seasons later being added to the platform.
