How are conservatives more flustered by Lil Nas X than Netflix’s ‘Lucifer’?
‘Montero’ music video somehow out-evilled 6 seasons of a show about the devil
Menage a trois. Devil worshipping. Men kissing and having sex with other men. Women kissing and having sex with women. Knife throwing. Bounty hunting. Promiscuity. Killing. Strippers. Prostitutes. Cain and Abel. Repeated insults about God and religion. Even step-by-step instructions for how minors can sell drugs.
No, I’m not describing Lil Nas X’s video “Montero.” This is all I’ve seen in the first three seasons of Netflix’s “Lucifer” starring Tom Ellis, D.B. Woodside, Lauren German and Lesley-Ann Brandt. The general summary of the series (going into its sixth season) is about how the Devil came to Earth, defying his father’s (yeah, that father) order to return to hell, and joins the police force as a consultant. He gives horrendous advice, is the worst role model ever, attacks people for fun, is completely entertained by violence, brags about his gaydar and inviting in a police station full of his past sex partners, and lives in a bar.

His best friend Mazikeen is a bounty hunter and a demon, who he brings in when need be and is one of the most problematic babysitters you’ll ever run into. Although his brother and angel Amenadiel is supposed to be a good guy, he’s had a chlamydia scare after smashing a prostitute. And even the psychologist, along with a host of other women, just cannot control opening their legs around either of the brothers.
I have yet to get to Seasons 4, 5 or 6, but binge-watching this show as of last week and hearing about the uproar with Lil Nas X at the same time has me going, “You’ve got to be kidding me. This is a joke, right?”
Go to Fox News, and the only stories that can be found about Lucifer Morningstar and the rest of his devilish clan of (sometimes) crooked cops on the Netflix show are about the show being canceled and then renewed. That’s it. There are no think pieces on killers or promiscuity or gay sex — and my favorite, “What about the kiiiiiiids?” The same social media accounts from conservative “journalists” and influencers are stone-cold silent about this show.
