Forever
The place to look at: CW Seed
You are going to see plenty of handsome males with some type of energy fixing crimes on this checklist, however of these, the present most just like the bones of Lucifer might be this cult favourite sequence that aired on ABC from 2014-2015. The good-looking man in query right here is one other Welsh actor from throughout the Atlantic, Ioan Gruffudd, and the facility on this case is immortality. Gruffudd’s Dr. Henry Morgan works as a health worker with NYPD detective Jo Martinez (Alana de la Garza), utilizing his life expertise — and it is plenty of expertise contemplating he is over two centuries outdated — to assist crack instances and research the lifeless to unravel the thriller of his immortality. There’s much less overt romance between mismatched companions in Forever than there may be in Lucifer, however it’s smoldering beneath, and by the point the Season 1 finale rolls round, you will be dying for the 2 to lastly hook up. The one downside? Perpetually solely lasted one season, so you will must hit fan fiction websites to see what would have occurred subsequent.
Constantine
The place to look at: CW Seed, DC Universe
Matt Ryan, Constantine
For those who’re a fan of the supernatural craziness of Lucifer — and who is not? — then throw on this short-lived NBC sequence that additionally blends weird procedural instances with a darkish humorousness. The character Constantine — a detective who investigates the occult — really shares a historical past with the Satan everyone knows and love, as they’re each from the DC Comics universe. The truth is, the two even met up in The CW’s most recent annual crossover event when Constantine (Matt Ryan) sought assist from Ellis’ Lucifer on an alternate Earth, establishing the truth that they’ve beforehand met and are ripe for their very own crossover occasion on Netflix. (Make it occur, Netflix!) As for Constantine itself, count on extra of a straight procedural… nicely, a straight procedural with demons, angels, nuns, and mysterious entities. However like Perpetually, it solely ran for one season.
Good Omens
The place to look at: Amazon Prime
David Tennant, Michael Sheen; Good Omens
Tom Ellis’ appeal and charisma can hardly be matched, however there may be one different citizen of the good abyss on the market who provides him a run for his cash: David Tennant. He performs the demon Crowley, a consultant of hell for the reason that creation of Earth, on this adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s beloved ebook, and he may be probably the greatest demonic fiends to ever grace your TV. Following the unlikely lifelong friendship between Crowley and his heavenly counterpart Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), an angel, Good Omens combines a pointy humorousness with a possible apocalypse in Gaiman’s trademark wink-and-a-nod fashion. And at simply six episodes lengthy, you will be lengthy carried out with this miniseries by the point Lucifer Season 5 Half 2 airs.
Rush
The place to look at: Amazon Prime (buy, however it’s solely $2 for the entire season!)
Tom Ellis, Rush
Though Netflix’s relaxed guidelines on nudity allowed us to see extra of Tom Ellis than we ever noticed on Fox, generally you simply need to see somewhat extra. No argument there. You possibly can see a completely clothed, however nonetheless very sinful, Ellis on this little-known medical drama that aired on USA Community in 2014. Ellis stars as Dr. William P. Rush (in fact), a health care provider who will get fired from working as a standard physician as a result of he likes to par-tay an excessive amount of. Rush then takes a job as a concierge physician, seeing unique clientele in home calls at their costly mansions, the place he costs hundreds in money for therapy and discretion. Then he takes that money to do medication and get together even tougher. It is a totally different tackle the medical drama, throwing the concept of a heroic physician away in alternate for a health care provider who would most likely find yourself being tortured by Lucifer in hell. Rush is not out there on any subscription service, however as of this writing, the entire season is accessible for buy for 2 bucks.
Moonlight
The place to look at: CW Seed
Alex O’Loughlin, Moonlight
I will exit on a limb right here and say that if you’re OK with watching a present concerning the Lord of Hell coming to Earth to unravel some crimes with the police, you then most likely will not assume a sequence a couple of vampire fixing crimes as a personal investigator is just too far-fetched. The CBS sequence Moonlight ran for only one season, from 2007 to 2008, however its mixture of supernatural and super-romance drama made it an enormous cult hit among the many vampire obsessed of the time. If it is the Lucifer-Chloe lovin’ that retains you coming again to Lucifer, you will fall laborious for Alex O’Loughlin‘s Mick St. John (discuss a hunky title!) placing the strikes on reporter Beth Turner (Sophia Myles).
Sleepy Hollow
The place to look at: Hulu
Sleepy Hole
Mismatched cop reveals have been a Fox trademark within the mid-2010s, however the stale system bought an injection within the ass with Sleepy Hollow, a procedural with supernatural parts that defied all expectations. The present was nearly actually repeatedly coming into the thoughts of Tom Kapinos whereas he was brainstorming Lucifer, because it additionally follows a tricky feminine detective who groups up with an out-of-place legend. On this case, it is Ichabod Crane (one other British snack in Tom Mison), however as a substitute of the cowardly beanpole you keep in mind within the cartoons, he is a double agent for George Washington who, after a battle with the Headless Horseman, wakes up in 2013 Washington, D.C. after a 200-year nap. There, he groups up with Lt. Abigail Mills (Nicole Beharie) to hunt the Horseman down once more and cease the apocalypse. The premise sounds ridiculous, however the first season is wholly pleasing, with bits of romance, horror, and humor. Honest warning: The standard of the present drops off after Season 1.
Angel
The place to look at: Hulu
Charisma Carpenter, David Boreanaz, and Glenn Quinn, Angel
Effectively, you watched a present known as Lucifer, so you could as nicely check out a present known as Angel. However Angel (David Boreanaz) ain’t from up above, he is a vampire whose human soul was restored to him, leaving him with a responsible conscience that he cleanses by serving as a personal investigator in Los Angeles to assist the helpless. So the motivation could also be totally different from Lucifer, however the sport is similar. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off additionally resembles Lucifer in that whereas Angel helps human in his day job, he is battling supernatural forces in his off hours.
Lucifer is now out there on Netflix.
