s03e07 — Off the Record

It seems that the script for the series was taken from Tales from the crypt. In general, it's a good series, and it diluted the procedural in the series.

With the almost complete absence of the main caste in the frame, they managed to build a wonderful series around the episodic character and Linda's past, reveal the theme of self-flagellation of sinners, once again emphasize the uncanonicity of the image of the devil they created and even return, albeit for a couple of moments, Maze to the frame.

There is only one "but"... ONE YEAR LATER. Isn't this a spoiler? It seems that during the "serial year", Chloe and Lucifer's relationship has not changed. Linda was shown the same way - no changes. Aren't the creators limiting themselves to an unnecessary move? (it was quite possible to specify the month). "Pouring from empty to empty" even with interesting episodic series is to follow the path of many sitcoms, which such monotony has ruined.

A great series, one of the best at the moment in the season.

The series is sooo original.

The series is the coolest. There is nothing more tragic than repeating the same mistakes and waiting for a different outcome. It's very far gone.

For a moment at the end, while he was aware of where he was, I thought that Lucifer was somehow able to save him (yes, it's a little illogical, but this phrase of his:"You didn't drink all the poison" - made me hope that this was not the end). Well, okay, journalist, dig into your mini-hell (

Wow, that was awesome. Perhaps the best episode in the series.

P.S. For those who, like me, could not remember where you saw this journalist. This is Chuck's partner from Better Call Saul.

Dan+pudding=shipship

Omagad. One of the best episodes of all seasons.

And how I like these deep notes in the series. "The doors are always open, but no one has tried to get out." But Rice can really change everything, it turns out.

Great series

They proved to us once again that he is a real devil, and the finale is beyond praise. By the way, was I the only one who thought that the journalist was McConaughey in disguise?

The series was very surprising. Even if we were not shown a special development of the plot (I emphasize the plot) in the present, we got such an interesting and incredibly concluded series.
Books, movies, TV series, games, etc., everywhere you can find a similar work, where the beginning and the end are the same, but the very essence of this scene turns everything around. In this series, this approach is implemented at an excellent level.

WHAT A GREAT SERIES! There are just first-season notes - unexpected turns, dialogues, character behavior, and oh, this ending - what a level! I didn't even expect this, to be honest. And as a nice bonus - Maze and the diabolical appearance of Lucie ^^. 10/10!

This is definitely one of the most unexpected and intense episodes of the season!
Visual aid "how Hell works"

Can we just talk about how Lucifer reacted to Linda's words in the office? BECAUSE AW! I even made a GIF, I'm sorry, I can't attach it. Oh, Tom! How he plays, huh!

Who can throw music from the series? Very cool :z (however, as in all other series)

The whole series confused me with the passage of time, their "a year ago" did not help, still some feeling that it is not now...
The further the series progressed, the more often it seemed to me that Linda's husband is a Sinner who takes revenge on Lucifer, but the end spoiled the cards.

However, now everything has somehow developed in my head with the theory about a Sinner husband. And it's time to go to bed well.
And so the bottom line is: Linda's husband is a Sinner.
By time: he met Lucifer somewhere in the 1st season, when Linda still did not know about who Lucifer was, respectively, "a year later" is somewhere in the 2nd season, when Linda already knows, but has not yet suffered at the hands of Charlotte (her husband would definitely mention this as an argument against Lucifer). Time in hell goes slower (you can remember Luci's trip for a cure for Chloe), i.e. Linda's husband (alas, I didn't remember the name) can survive this repeated year several times in weeks or months.
About the name: he knows that you can get out of hell, and most importantly HOW to do it. And, I think, we were deliberately not specified where a person who came out of hell will go: to heaven or back to earth. He already has folders with information on everyone, he knows Lucifer's weaknesses (and this is not only vulnerability, but also self-conceit, his image, reputation), well, and the name Sinner is the best for someone who got out of hell.

A piece of Hell from Lucifer!!

The series is gorgeous from and to. An unusual plot for the series, Lucie's face, music, the series finale.
In general, we were pleasantly surprised by this series. Well done.

Серия просто безумно хороша, я была бы не прочь посмотреть примерно такой фильм.
И просто небо и земля по качеству проработки сюжета по сравнению с первыми эпизодами.

I am confused by the idea of guilt, which does not allow me to get out of hell. What then about psychopaths who don't feel guilty? Or with all sorts of fanatics?

Cool episode!

The series is great, but it's a pity that Lucie and Chloe's relationship doesn't even think about developing. Although it was generally clear after the first season, but hope dies last...

There have been no such episodes for a long time - FIRE! They would keep such a bar, and not slide into an endless procedural - there would be no price for them. =)

I've always liked series in TV series where the main characters of the series are not the main characters of the series :D
and yes, I also hope that this is such a cool summation to the sinner

I wanted to write that this is the coolest episode of the whole series, but everyone has already said it for me))

I don't remember, but who runs Hell while Lutz is having fun on earth?

There was a hope that the character would stay longer and, perhaps, enter the main cast, but alas (

I love episodes that blow your mind a little bit. After all, the series started with "a little encounter with death" and ended with "a little encounter with death", and it was very cool. Each new episode of Lucik gets cooler and cooler.

An interesting series.

An interesting construction of the series

Maybe someone will come back from hell, since the doors are not locked...

Patrick Fabian played well

Confusing, but interesting

Definitely not enough Mays this season.

And sometimes I think that I died at some point and everything around me is my personal hell.

An unusual and wonderful series, more of this and less procedural..

Howard from BCS is just gorgeous, it's a pity that he died after all. Sooo strong character, sooo strong series.

So unexpectedly, in the third season, we were shown the best episode of the series. Thank you and I hope that the bar will be conquered at least once more.

And he didn't lie about the open door)

Reese really wants to stay in his personal hell, repeating about the second chance endlessly

A good series
It was also good in the preacher, recently.
In general, it is always beautiful when the beginning returns at the end. The devil's advocate again. Such hopelessness arises immediately))

I liked it, especially the ending.

"I see. He put a spell on you" :D

The series is top-notch!
I am very afraid to jinx it, but I am quietly happy as the series does not lose its charm in the third season and the creators constantly delight with interesting turns.
p.s. literally, the 30-second appearance of Maze warmed my heart, because I adore this baby. Especially the classic Maze Demon 💜

The best episode of at least a season) I looked at the same spirit...

A gorgeous series)))

I rarely write comments. But this series forced it. It was shot perfectly, the picture is great. But the very message of the series, the plot...the same is great) And here is the conclusion... You can forgive a lot, but if you take Christianity as a basis, play by the rules. And then it turns out to be a mixture of the devil knows what. And the whole message came down to the prayer of the civil services - you can't lie (to us), and everything else, how will it go

The ending is top-notch, it reminded me of something from one of the episodes of "Black Mirror"

wowowow the writers of palechchi

A good example of how you can shoot a gorgeous series, while not developing a horizontal plot, but also not messing with the procedural.

It's amazing, I just thought the day before that since we started slowly revealing characters besides Lutz and Chloe, we just have to mention Linda. And now, a piece of her past!)

After this episode, you realize that every city in the world needs its own Lucifer.

The FIRE series!

Supporting the rest of the speakers, I want to say that the best episode of the last season is definitely.

The series is good, but the difference in the year is warped. No development, it's just been a year. Hopefully, in the next episode, the consequences of this year will not begin to creep out in the form of new couples, characters or something else)

Somehow I did not initially understand that it was the past
Why move so abruptly, without warning, a year ago?
According to the comments above, I noticed that few people understood this hdd

But yeah, I won't argue, the series is great

Как многие отметили, действительно самая клёвая серия за текущий сезон.

Серия шикарная, а журналист вполне подходит на роль врага. Что если он таки прислушался и вышел? С временными рамками хорошо запутали

Так, господа, скажите мне, пожалуйста, это муж Линды смотрел на досье главных героев в s03e03?

вот уж пока САМАЯ ЛУЧШАЯ СЕРИЯ ЗА ВЕСЬ СЕРИАЛ. Что бы там ни писали выше, концовка для меня вышла OMG.

У Кроли в Супернатуралах люди, попадая в Ад, стояли в вечных очередях (потому что все ненавидят очереди). У Люцифера каждый попадает в свой персональный Ад, который зацикливается на одном определенном моменте и бесконечно повторяется. Я даже не знаю, что прикольней

Для тех, кто не в курсе - этот актёр уже второй раз борется с Дьяволом.

И да, серия шикарная. Вот что значит хороший сценарий данный в руки хорошему актёру, который здесь на первом плане.
А ещё второй актёр хороший, убийца-комментатор, тоже хороший. Только роль у него небольшая по сути.

Люцифер говорил что никто не мешает уйти из ада, а показали несколько дверей, которые пытаются открыть и не могут уйти, а ещё они перекрыты цепями.

определенно лучшая серия сезона!

необычная серия, очень привлекла внимание, интересно разбавили стандартные расследования.

пересматривала серию и заметила, что на соседней двери цепь то ест

Очень понравилась хронология серии! И то, что не стали портить впечатление излишним разжёвыванием. Сначала тоже запуталась с дьявольским лицом Люси, с тем, что он спит с Линдой, а та очень натурально отрицает его настоящее дьявольство. Потом въехала, что это был флэшбэк. Когда Риз во второй раз очнулся в больнице, снова запуталась. Ну и сама концовка просто мозговзрывательная! Обожаю такие вот истории, в которых вначале всё запутанно, а потом постепенно мозайка складывается, чтобы в самом-самом конце наконец-то предстать цельной картинкой. Восхитительно!

Наконец, Люцифер за весь этот сезон назвал Дэна - детективом Мудаком.

-He is the Devil!
-Oh, it's not like I've hidden that fact.

шикарно)

Лучшая серия за все три сезона. Просто богическая.

Серия - просто вау, это вышка, ребята. Мой мозг пару раз ломался по ходу серии, но это было прекрасно.

Серия охрененная, даже стоит пересмотра для тех, кто запутался в хронологии))
Не могу отделаться от стойкого ощущения отсылки к сериалу "Мёртвая зона", даже сначала подумал, что актёр тот же, седые волосы и внешность в целом очень напоминают Майкла Энтони Холла. Детали типа герой просыпается в больнице, любимая с другим, какие-то странные флэшбеки как видения, даже само расследование с доской и всё такое, очень много сходства, и в то же время недостаточно для прямой аналогии типа предсказания событий или чего-то такого. Но похоже, никто больше этого не заметил, даже на зарубежных ресурсах) Немножко схожу с ума)))

Вроде муж Линды, Линда как жена -- интересно. Но в то же время я ждала, что досье собирает какой-то сверхъестественный киллер, какой-то нечеловеческий посланник, да хоть сам Бог! А это журналист-неудачник, который, к тому же, умер. Супер. В этом сезоне вообще будет хоть какой-то сюжет..?

Люблю, когда эпизоды каких-то сериалов можно смотреть отдельно от всего остального сериала и это всё равно будет крутое зрелище.
Такие эпизоды построены вокруг одного персонажа, и особенно круто если это не главный персонаж.
И, как правило, они становятся одними из лучших или просто лучшими эпизодами своих сериалов.

В "Агентах Щ.И.Т.а" это был эпизод 3х05 "4,722 hours" сконцентрированный вокруг Джеммы Симмонс.
В "Докторе Кто" было два таких эпизода - 3х10 "Blink", сконцентрированный вокруг Салли Спэрроу и 9х11 "Heaven Sent", сконцентрированный вокруг Двенадцатого Доктора.
Теперь и у "Люцифера" есть свой собственный бенефис одного персонажа, Риза, в 3х07 "Off the Record".

Забавно, что эти "маленькие шедевры" случаются по большей части в третьих сезонах.

Я как и многие, не понял, что дело происходило год назад, а когда показали дьявольское лицо Люцика, полез смотреть, может я пропустил пару серий? Тем более, у него же в 1 сезоне было другое дьявольское лицо!

Ох, действительно крутейшая серия! Муж как персонаж очень правился! И вполне возможно, что это его душа вернулась и он будет Грешником!
В это серии ещё раз поняла почему все любят Люцифера. Он действительно до чертиков честен и главное харизматичный. Как такого не любить? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Что за песня в конце?

забавная серия, очень понравилась.

еще зацепило то, что Люцифер сказал об Аде, что мол это сами люди не могут простить себя за свои грехи и отправляют себя в ад, и что двери ада не закрыты, но никто еще не выходил. интересненько.

Странно, но серия чем-то напомнила мне «Черное Зеркало» 🤔

Я не пойму, это своего рода филлер? :D

An interesting presentation of the material.

One of the coolest episodes so far watched. However, for a good twenty minutes I tried to figure out what was going on, because the details do not match: I mean, Lucifer has been cooperating with the police for only a few weeks; I mean, he is sleeping with Linda again; I mean, he has his devilish face again; I mean, where did baby Ella go?! And yes, thanks to the inscription "a year later", which only confirmed my nascent guesses that we are being shown the past.

Well, the obsession of the series and the fact that it's all Hell... A fucking twist, seriously. Although, to tell the truth, I expected that in the end Reese would fully realize what was happening and be able to leave, after all... The door is always open, isn't it? But I don't think he'll be ready to forgive himself for a while.

A very healthy episode, bravo to the writers!

There are no words, each episode becomes more and more profound..
If in the first and second seasons we just watched the formation of Lucifer's personality in order to understand his actions, then in the third there are a lot more lines between our favorite minor characters, and these are the truths. Feeling guilty, a person will not subconsciously punish himself...

— What is the matter with you people? Always blame me for everything. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything!
— It's not true! You are tricking me into sinning, condemning me to torment.
— I have a story for you, journalist. I haven't told anyone about this yet. I don't decide who goes to hell.
— And who decides?
— You yourself. You're sending yourself there. You are driven by your own guilt, you force yourself to relive your own sins over and over again.

To be fair, he deserved it. The bomb series!

I don't know.. but I didn't really like the leap in one year. and so, a good series, some kind of confusing truth. but the return of Maze was very pleased :

@Shaneer: in 'Preacher' there is also Hell in the form of prison rooms with the worst memory of a lifetime looped in)

Have you gone to Hell?

What a strange series! I couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time

The series really gets knocked out a lot, in general, there are enough fillers in season 3, but if you make fillers like this, then it's just illegal! I really liked how the past and the present were combined, it was unusual to see. And Linda's husband came out interesting. And the idea of a personal hell of an individual was shown how it should be. Miracles!

I just applaud this episode. Whoever understood, understood. Perfect in every detail 💯

A very cool episode, one of the best in the series. He impresses with his originality and charisma of an actor-journalist. Very cool emotions from the episode.

I feel a little sorry for him, although he is to blame and has turned things around himself. After all, from the very beginning, why run after someone with whom your wife "cheated" on you. I will clarify all the same that I understand that there was no betrayal, because by that time they had separated. But, damn, he wanted to establish a relationship with his wife, so he had to go to her from the very beginning. And this basically applies to all such situations - you need to go figure out the relationship (in a good way) to the person with whom you have this relationship, and not bash the one or the one with whom you were cheated on

It's a great job, you can spend a year writing an article, drinking in the office and doing nothing 😂😂😅

Holy shit! The end was powerfully invented! And in general, the whole series is unreal

The fire series

I thought about hell. Not all people feel guilty for their bad deeds, and sometimes conscience torments us for minor things, or we blame ourselves unfairly. So what happens to people like that?

Great episode!Just fire

I often have nightmares and in them I live my mistakes and failures over and over again, this series has become special for me

Haph. 1 time he died, I think he went to heaven.
And 2 times he died and because of the devil, he can be considered to have gone to hell :)

Maybe EVERYTHING that was shown in the series is just another hundredth loop of the same thing in hell. That is, we were shown not the beginning, but just a random loop.

Awesome series! One of the best in the series...
so many times I was surprised for 40 minutes - it's something. Especially from a devilish face... I couldn't figure out how he showed it if it was stolen from him. And then the finale - and again the SHOCK. This is the poor guy's personal little hell, who has to make the wrong choice over and over again. The horror(
