i thought it was wierd, since the shoe-horned rory intoa show, which is a nephilim of an archangel and a human, which is much more powerful than the angel parent. i think they took some elements from supernatural show because there are some eerily similar scenes, or things that are uncanny between some of the episodes. (both shows had a nephilim, of you guess it lucifer and a human and it was the endgame of the series)
Your mistake is assuming these showrunners had any clue what they were doing and weren’t malicious. As someone who knows way too much about the show, I can tell you that those two showrunners were the death of the show.
If you take a step back, you can see that the highly acclaimed S4 is just a rehash of S3. We have a love triangle—again—that serves to artificially keep the lead couple apart and cause forced drama. S5a is somewhat decent, has its moments, but then S5b crashes hard. Why they had to introduce actual god as a character is anyone’s guess. And then try to absolve him of his terrible behavior, because “he just meant well when he was incflicting trauma on his children. Uwu, look how cute he is”. Not to mention all the episodes they waste on side characters while giving their lead female character nothing.
Come S5b finale and things might be actually going well? Lol, just kidding. Lucifer suddenly isn’t god, he’s just this immature clown who has forgotten all about his monologue about unnecessary human suffering. S6 was just constantly shitting on his character. Like, you can almost physically touch the hatred showrunners felt for him.
Plus, the whole Rory plot? Straight up plot of Flash, except in Flash the daughter didn’t turn into a selfish psycho bitch who chased away her dad to Hell forever (and we could definitely go into the tragedy Rory’s character truly is and how much manipulation and abuse has to go into shaping her to grow up so angry that she travels back in time).
With that said, if we go a little bit back to S4, you can see the big shift in Lucifer as a character. Remember how he blames his dad for manipulating him and making his life miserable in S1-3? S4-S6 Lucifer didn’t put the blame on God one single time. In S4 he blames himself (“There’s something rotten inside of me”), even though he has every right to believe Dad is manipulating him by sending Eve back to the living (which lol, was never explained, just like most of the lore… don’t overthink!). He also has every right to believe his omnipotent Dad doomed his daughter to a closed time loop, since it’s a paradox.
And yet, Lucifer keeps blaming himself, and in the end accepts that going back to Hell is “all part of Dad’s plan, cheeky bastard”. So we go from Lucifer fighting tooth and nail to never go back to Hell (his prison), one of his siblings is literally eradicated from existence in the war for throne in S5, just for him decide he doesn’t really want to be god and instead go back to Hell to “help souls” by… giving them therapy? I.e. doing a sisyphus task because the system remains broken. The stupidity of that alone is mind-boggling (this is another Chloe erasure, btw).
In the end, instead of S6 celebrating how far Lucifer has come despite his awful upbringing and letting Chloe and he enjoy themselves, the showrunners twist these characters into a pretzel to create even more tragedy and drama. S6 makes way more sense when you know that the showrunners worked backwards, i.e. they had a fixed ending for S6 and then had to fit the characters into this inorganic narrative.
As you can see, I could write a 100 page essay on what went wrong with the show and how it’s the showrunners’ fault. Sorry for offloading all this, but there hasn’t been a single show that has made me this salty to date, lol.
