Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles, where he has teamed up with LAPD detective Chloe Decker to take down criminals. But the longer he's away from the underworld, the greater the threat that the worst of humanity could escape.
This tv show contains 79 potentially triggering events.
One of the criminals is revealed to have abused multiple women and then had them paid off or killed to avoid being caught. However, there is no depiction of domestic violence in the show.
Lucifer references his traumatic childhood/past very frequently, and Chloe initially thinks that the scars on Lucifer's back were put there by his father.
Alcohol is featured frequently in the show and marijuana, cocaine, and heroin are all shown at some point as well. (Lucifer is shown pouring himself alcohol nearly every episode.) In addition, Lucifer, Maze, and some of the minor characters mention encountering other drugs such as molly, ecstasy, prescription opiates, roofies, and mushrooms.
yes, a few of the characters. the celestial characters mention how it takes a lot more alcohol to get them drunk then it does a human so they are basically drinking the entire show.
It's more of a joke that Lucifer makes and not really in a serious manner, it's in the context of him describing what a room is like when they find a secret layer or whatever it was Basically saying it gives off a certain vibe like that
A minor character talks about having been sexually assaulted, possibly raped, by the man she later killed. Chloe is also the subject of several inappropriate comments made by minor characters on the show.
In a few instances, one of the characters chokes another by either putting a cable around their neck or by wrapping their hand around another's throat pinning them to a wall. This sometimes ends in death for minor characters.
One minor character is burned alive at the stake by a serial killer. The same killer tries to get a woman to light herself on fire, though it doesn't work. In addition, Charlotte accidentally burns the head off of her attacker and later purposely burns Linda for not complying with an order, though she doesn't die.
Lucifer, Maze, Malcolm, and Charlotte, as well as some of the minor characters, torture others on some instances in the show. Sometimes it's on-camera, sometimes it isn't shown. Dan and Linda, both major characters, have been tortured on-camera.
There are scenes where some minor characters attempt suicide by jumping off a roof, with one of them succeeding. There are also scenes where Lucifer tries to throw someone off of a roof.
Yes. There is self-inflicted eye mutilation at the end of Season 3, Episode 9. A minor character does this to keep Lucifer from finding his desires though his eyes, the results of which are shown to the camera.
Several main characters were kidnapped at some point in the show, including Lucifer, Dan, Trixie, and Charlie. Minor characters are also shown being the victim of kidnapping.
25:31- 26:00 Season 2, Episode 1. When Detective Chloe confronts the drug dealer at the AA meeting and shows him a picture of the victim. He gags first and then throws up into the trash can. Easy to see it coming. Happens after he asks her to put the image away.
S2E4 32:09- Yuri retches after Lucifer and Chloe knock on his window. You hear the sound but don’t see anything. It’s over pretty quickly.
Lucifer is shown purposely cutting his hand/wrist. This is done for a reason other than self-harm, but I think that it (the wrist one especially) is still triggering. Also, Lucifer cuts off his wings twice and Linda confronts him about it, telling him that that's self-mutilation.
Lucifer constantly grapples with appearance-related aspects of his divinity, i.e. his devil face, angel wings, etc. and it is a main source of his stress in many episodes. He also constantly cuts off his angel wings for a period of time, which is shown on screen once.
Lucifer kills himself at one point by charging a defibrillator too high and then shoving the pads into his chest. Also, a minor character jumps off a roof because he'd rather die than face Lucifer. There are also a few other suicide attempts by other minor characters that do not result in death.
Lucifer, who is bisexual, dies twice. However, he comes back to life both times and neither death is because of any sort of violence towards his sexual orientation.
There is a scene in Season 4, Episode 8 in which Amenadiel and a minor character named Caleb, who is a black high school boy, are stopped by police to arrest Caleb for murder. Caleb is a victim of police brutality in this scene, and Amenadiel is the victim of a policeman being unnecessarily aggressive. So not "hate speech," but hateful actions based on minority status.
No, but several characters who don't know that Charlotte is Lucifer's mom initially think that Lucifer and Charlotte are sleeping together, which is very much not the case and he tells them as such.
