Poldark keeps putting me to sleep, moving on to Lucifer. Which doesn't.

Lucifer - S3

No idea which episode this is, except that is one of three stand-a-lones that was filmed last year. (And you can sort of tell, since it actually fits last season better than this season -- by explaining what happened with Candy, and strengthening the Lucifer/Ella relationship and Chloe/Linda and Dan relationships.). No Pierce in sight. (Since I'm not a fan of Pierce or Welling, this is not a problem.)

I loved this episode. It's weird, but I'm enjoying the stand-a-alone episodes more than the arc ones. Possibly because they don't quite work as stand-a-lones, there's loads of character development and interaction, with the mystery of the week barely resonating. (I don't think the writers are even trying any longer, which doesn't bother me, because not a fan of mystery of the week. I actually like the fact that the writers have lost interest in the mystery of the week and only doing it to give the characters something to do.)

Question for the people who remember the comics? Was Lucifer solving crimes in the comics?

Weird, I looked up Tom Ellis background on Wiki and I honestly don't remember seeing him in anything. Yet, turns out I have -- he was in Once Upon a Time, Doctor Who, and Merlin. I'm rapidly becoming a fan of the actor's.

Also, the show. I haven't disliked or been bored by an episode yet. There are a few weak ones here and there...but even those have juicy bits in them.

And... youtube videos featuring Ellis's singing on the show:

And Ellis and friends singing a rather good rendition of Hallelujah.

My favorite is this rendition of Sinnerman by Nina Simone.
