The popular FOX drama Lucifer that was later picked up by Netflix is one of the most beloved fantasy shows out there with the devilishly handsome Tom Ellis as the central protagonist. The show's premise is amusing-- the Devil is vacationing in Los Angeles, where he owns a night club and solves crimes with the LAPD.
However, entertaining though it might be, there are certain things about the narrative and the characters that seem to make little sense when one really puts one's thought to it.
Maze & Her Knives
Now, Mazikeen, the fan-favorite demon who started out as Lucifer's friend and ally but went through quite a muddled arc afterwards, apparently terrorizes Hell by the way she wields her knives and enjoys torturing souls.
However, Hell has been shown to be literally everybody's worst nightmare. People end up reliving their worst nightmares again and again once they are in Hell, thereby slowly driven to madness. But if being in Hell involves replaying some scene that would torment a person, where do Mazikeen's knives come in? There doesn't seem to be much scope for physical torture as the soul is emotionally and mentally traumatized. The only possibility is that the knives are used over and above the psychological torture.
The Flying Angels
Lucifer mentioned how his older brother Amenadiel that he had accidentally hit a bridge while flying over LA. The question is, can humans see angels flying in this particular fantasy universe?

Possibly not, as that would result in utter chaos. But then either the angels can render themselves invisible while they are flapping their wings, which has never been mentioned, or in case of Amenadiel at least, he might have stopped or at least slowed time before he took off. But that begets the question, what do the other angels, who cannot slow time, do? Zoom past and hope nobody notices?
Maze's Soul
Maze, portrayed by the amazing Lesley-Ann Brandt, has been having some crisis later in the series. She is lonely and desperate for love and a soul, which, as a demon, she doesn't possess.
Maze's loneliness has made her pretty muddled at times, upsetting even the fiesty little Trixie, and her relationship with Chloe. However, seeing how emotionally volatile she gets it would make more sense if she did somehow possess a soul she didn't even know about. Perhaps, living among humans and caring about them had caused her to grow a soul, unknown to her.
To Die, Or Not To Die
Another biblical character, Cain, was the main antagonist of season 3 of Lucifer. Actor Tom Welling played the hunky Marcus Pierce, the new LAPD boss until of course, he turned out to be Cain from the Bible, complete with the Mark.
Lucifer did well to set Cain up as Lucifer's rival as far s Chole was concerned, but then his character faltered. After desperately looking for a way to die for centuries, Cain fell in love with Chloe and wanted to grow old with her. Now that made sense until he once again decided to get his mark back somehow so that he wouldn't die! The hint was that he wanted to stay alive for Chole and becoming mortal would not guarantee that. The whole confusion over whether or not he wanted to die made no sense at all.
Chloe Being God's Gift For Lucifer
Fans know that Chloe had literally been a gift from God to the Deckers so that she would cross paths with Lucifer at some point of time in the future. It has been assumed, by the characters as well as the audience, that maybe Chloe was crucial to Lucifer's existence as she was the only one who could make him vulnerable.

But this was never addressed, and every time the topic comes up, Chloe goes off into a rant, never actually wondering what her role was in Lucifer's life. However, here's hoping that God himself would explain the reason he created her now that he is likely to be present in the second half of season 5.
The Passing Of Mojo
Towards the end of the first part of season 5, Lucifer lost his mojo to Chloe, or at least he thought had. His powers of bringing out people's deepest desires had magically passed on to Chloe the moment they slept together.
He then got it back, and Chole wondered whether she had ever possessed the mojo at all, or whether it had only really worked on Lucifer. However, after the Devil's mojo was returned to him, he suddenly realized that he was no longer physically vulnerable around Chloe like he had been from season 1. This passing and returning of mojo seemed very muddled. Even though it seemed that the writers were perhaps trying to say something very deep, it really made little sense.
Lucifer Looking For Solutions In Petty Matters
Lucifer Morningstar goes gallivanting around LA solving mysteries with the woman he secretly loves. That is all very well, but what sometimes feels a bit forced and meaningless is when Lucifer decides that he will find answers to his various troubles in the petty, day to day behavior of his LAPD colleagues, murder suspects, and even potential murderers.
For the Devil, who is basically a primordial entity, to look for answers to his biblical problems, like why he got his wings back, in petty criminals and murderers, doesn't seem to make sense at times. He is, after all, Satan himself. His problems will naturally have epic reasons behind them and can hardly be solved by experiencing human behaviour.
