The CW takes a break this week, but before you reach for Different Content, Lucifer is still finishing his fifth season, and Superman and Lois continues this new phase of Superman’s life where he just supports his family while saving the world. The Good Doctor starts the season finale, and we travel to Guatemala. The Handmaid welcomes familiar a new handmaid. The band is back together on Blacklist dealing with the monster they created while squabbling. I hope everyone can enjoy the unofficial start to summer that is Memorial Day (in America) and have some some other fun to offset the light television schedule!

Lucifer had an interesting conclusion. (Goes to S05E16, by the way.) After seeing it, I get why Netflix wanted a sixth season and also why the producers agreed to do it. I can see at least one good path for it to take. I also enjoyed how the critical things that allowed events to play out the way they did were all set up ahead of time.
The Dan centric episode was hilarious, though. About half way through, I was like, “This is The Game, isn’t it?” And, sure enough. But it even had a purpose in the broader narrative, too.
Updated, thank you! I am waiting to watch it with my wife, which means I haven’t gotten a chance, yet.
