History YMMV / Lucifer2016

** Maze for a small bunch is this as well, although it has less to do with her CharacterDevelopment, back story (which have been well received, especially around Season 5) and her interaction with the other characters (most notably with Linda and Ella), but rather the fact the writing constantly throws in HeelFaceRevolvingDoor scenarios with her multiple times and then is instantly forgiven.

* EndingFatigue: One of the many complaints Season 3 received is just how long it was, being twenty-four episodes long (not counting the two bonus episodes).

** Dan is also this in the fourth season for some. His anger that Lucifer witholding information led to someone's death comes off as very hypocritical given his actions in the first season and the fact he never admits to almost getting Lucifer and his own daughter killed makes him come off as a KarmaHoudini.

* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: For those who generally find Lauren German's performance to be [[DullSurprise wooden and underwhelming]], "O, Ye of Little Faith, Father" saw her knock it out of the park during her final scene in the episode.

* SpecialEffectsFailure:

* TheyChangedItSoItSucks: A general reaction of many ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'' fans with the absence of Elaine and Michael being noted in particular.

** The show ends with [[spoiler: Lucifer helping the damned souls on Hell so they go to heaven, [[WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel Like father, like daughter.]]]]

* EvilIsSexy:
** Lucifer of course, but it's somewhat downplayed as he's not quite as evil as he used to be.
** Maze definitely counts as well.
** Given that he's the twin brother of Lucifer himself (as well as played by the same actor), Michael can also qualify despite lacking redeeming qualities.

** Season 4’s big WhamLine reveals [[spoiler: only an angel or celestial can rule Hell]], which dramatically shifts perception how and why Lucifer is King of Hell.

*** Also on Rory is a general dislike on how Trixie was handled in the end where she is nowhere in sight at the end [[spoiler:when Chloe dies of old age]]. It should have been a very important moment for the character yet apparently the writer's felt it was better for Rory to only be there for the scene. Many fans have expressed a great displeasure over how a character beloved for five seasons was barely used and then out and out ignored at the end for this new character and her unfounded wangst . While it is nothing the character herself did in her actions, many fans are feeling it's because of Rory that Trixie was sidelined so hard and don't feel a lick of sympathy for her.

** Rory in Season 6. Despite the fact that everyone tells her repeatedly that Lucifer is a great person, she still decides they all must be lying and that [[spoiler:he abandoned her]]. She then [[spoiler:goes back in time]] to kill him, and even as everyone comes up with perfectly reasonable reasons why Lucifer [[spoiler:disappeared]], she still angrily insults Lucifer and everyone for defending him. Not helped that even though she is 40 to 60 years old she acts like a BrattyTeenager for most of the season. Then, just when she realizes [[spoiler:her father]] is a good man, she forces him to [[spoiler:abandon her past self and prevent him the joy of being there for her all because she wants to preserve a time loop only she cares about]].

* AcceptableTargets: In "My Brother's Keeper," Lucifer compels a crooked jewellery store owner to tell him her greatest desire, and she reveals that it's to punch every single Millennial in the face. Lucifer admits that he sympathizes with that wish. Of course, the reason she wants to do so is because Millennial's ethical practices making it harder for her to sell diamonds, so it's a bit of a wash.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** After all the issues with Chloe mentioned under BaseBreakingCharacter and UnintentionallyUnsympathetic, in Season 5 [[spoiler:she is at long last on top of things from the start, immediately detecting that Michael's performance as Lucifer isn't quite right and just playing along until she finally exposes him after just one episode.]]
** After Season 5, quite a few fans were irked that before the show got a surprise renewal for another season, it was going to end with Ella ''never'' being let in on TheMasquerade, or at least its only happening during the removed final montage without any time to properly let the moment breathe. Season 6 makes up for it in a big way as [[spoiler:she actually figures the whole thing out by herself, and is ''pissed'' that everyone kept her in the dark for so long]].

** One-shot villain Julian [=McCaffrey=] crossed it long before his appearance in the series by starting a human-trafficking ring.

** Everytime Amenadiel calls the protagonist "Luci", it sounds very much like "Lucy". Kind of undermines his whole stern old-testament KnightTemplar Schtick.
