In my opinion the writing dipped in Season 2 and again in Season 3, before recovering in the later seasons with the move to Netflix (I'm up to 5.14). The addition of Tom Welling definitely does not improve the show.

It got worse than season 1? Yikes.

Does Lucifer get to say "fuck" after moving to Netflix? He really should.

Tom Welling does not add anything positive to any show imho.
The writing is really not bothering me, maybe because I’m not expecting much from it above the normal procedural with lots of snark. I finished S2 and am taking a little break to catch up on other shows before I start S3.

Tom Ellis as Lucifer is super charismatic, but I got stalled out 8 episodes into S1 because the writing is really not my thing. It's sort of amazing how charismatic Ellis manages to make Lucifer when he's written so terribly. Does the writing get any better in later seasons?
Also, the female lead is awful. I have hated her in many shows. She's just whiny and not that great of an actress.
Tom Welling IS a BBoC. A very pretty BBoC. He is only made tolerable by his incredibly charismatic co-stars (like Micheal Rosenberg in Smallville)

One of the Lucifer writers might be a lurker because they went with the whole growing a soul thing that we wanted for Spike.
