![]() Characters go on an investigation, usually to find a murderer. 50% of the TV shows out there revolve around some kind of procedural format. Let’s start off today talking about Investigation Simplicity Syndrome. Why does the real world have to be so complicated? He actually finds himself caring for this Chloe woman. It’s a satisfying conclusion for Lucifer, who can now go back to his debauchery-laden ways. The two go from Record Company owners to rap stars to movie stars as they trace Delilah’s sordid relationship past, before finally discovering that the wife of one of Delilah’s lovers got her bodyguard to do the hit. Chloe doesn’t like the candid and sexist Lucifer, but she’s amazed by his Jedi-like power to get anybody to tell him what he wants to know. It bothers him enough that he insists on joining local hot but uptight cop, Chloe, on her investigation into the murder. What starts as anger eventually becomes sadness in Lucifer – a feeling he’s totally unfamiliar with. However, like a lot of musicians, she makes terrible dating mistakes, and on this particular night at Lux, one of those mistakes drives by the club and guns her down. One of Lucifer’s pet projects has been Delilah, a talented musician who debuted at his club and who has since become one of the biggest musicians in the world. The reason Lucifer has so much fun is that he’s devoid of that part of the body that actually cares about things – what is it called again? – oh yeah, the heart. When we meet Lucifer Morningstar, he’s been chilling in LA for a good year, running his hot nightclub, Lux, and basically doing whatever naughty thoughts come into his head. Let’s take a look at Fox’s upcoming show… Lucifer. ![]() And today, we have a character who’s probably about as bad as they get. Someone who’s a little bad is so much more entertaining than someone who’s pure good. It’s become apparent to me that these types of characters are great for TV shows. He will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. How does this tie into today’s pilot? Well, Frank Underwood is a morally corrupt individual. I only ask that they do so without spoilers. I’m sure those who have already seen Season 3 will offer up their thoughts in the comments. It could lead to either some really good or some really bad screenwriting. Whatever the case, I’m eager to see how they solve this problem. I’m worried that the show will start focusing on plot (We must improve our relations with Russia!) as opposed to character, which is what makes all TV shows, and this one in particular, so good. But no matter what you do, it’s hard to recapture the excitement of the underdog trying to become the top dog. Now there are a million new story challenges you can create for the president of the United States. Now that he’s done it, where does the story go? That’s why we watched for the first two seasons – to see if he could do it. Frank Underwood’s (Kevin Spacey) goal has always been to become president. Basically, when you have a particular goal driving a TV show, the show will encounter a crossroads when the protagonist achieves that goal. For those planning on watching the show in the future, avert your eyes, I’m about to get into spoilers. Okay, so I’ve just started Season 3 of House of Cards, and I’m worried. Kapinos has now, smartly, jumped onto the comic book bandwagon, taking the DC character, Lucifer, and turning it into a TV show which will debut on Fox, probably as a companion to Gotham. After the show was over, Kapinos fell into the Tinsletown Purgatory but five years later emerged with the hit show, Californication, on Showtime. The movie was never made, but the spec was read by the Dawson’s Creek folks, where Kapinos soon became one of the writers. What he never expected was to start caring about the people in the city.Ībout: Born in New York, Tom Kapinos moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1990s, got a job as a reader at CAA, and parlayed that into a script sale that got Jennifer Aniston attached. Premise: When the Devil gets bored with the goings-on of Hell, he decides to pack up, head to Los Angeles, and open a bar.
