This show became one of my family’s favorites. It’s hardly Citizen Kane, but it’s an entertaining supernatural police procedural, cop dramedy, will-they-won’t-they romance, and while we enjoy the cast as a whole, Tom Ellis is, frankly, superb as the Devil with a Confused Heart of Gold-Tone Alloy.
The show, very loosely based on the DC Vertigo title of the same name, was canceled on Fox after three seasons, but a campaign by fans and the producers got it picked up for a new season on Netflix (starting 8 May). Looking forward to it.

The trailer in the tweet above gives a setup for the show, for those who haven’t seen it. (And, no, for those worried, the show doesn’t promote Satanism, any more than Hercules: The Legendary Journeys promoted paganism.)
