In these beautifully paired episodes, we get to relish in the villainy of Malcolm (Kevin Rankin), aka “Detective ‘Stache,” giggle at the caricature of Lucifer the Satanists present (there’s a lot of goat imagery!) even as we feel for the bereaved in the case-of-the-week procedural story-arc.
Betrayal is a key theme in these two episodes, with many of the central cast experiencing a sense that their friends have let them down or outright hurt them through treachery or deceit. We take the time to overthink and appreciate the big things (the writing! the acting! the cinematography!) and the little details (Lucifer is often seen holding or lighting but never *smoking* a cigarette).
In a moment of overthinking exuberance, we speculate that in “Take Me Back to Hell” God serves as Lucifer’s enforcer, and wish our showrunners had allowed the characters to say so explicitly!
