Satan—minus his frightening horns and tail—has begun knocking on the doors of people's homes with the release of the new Fox TV drama series "Lucifer" which premiered on Monday, Jan. 25.
Blowing the whistle on the "spiritually dangerous" show that distorts the concept of good and evil, the group One Million Moms has come out with a warning to television viewers not to get hooked to the charms of Lucifer, who is presented in the show as a caring, likable person in human flesh, Charisma News reported.
Moreover, the premiere episode showed graphic acts of violence, a nightclub featuring scantily-clad women and a demon.
The series follows the adventures on Earth of Lucifer Morningstar, the original fallen angel, who has become dissatisfied with his life in hell, according to Fox.
After abandoning his throne in hell and retiring to Los Angeles, Lucifer becomes the owner of an upscale nightclub where he indulges in women, wine and song—until a murder takes place outside his establishment.
"For the first time in billions of years, the murder awakens something unfamiliar in Lucifer's soul that is eerily similar to compassion and sympathy," the Fox press release says.
Lucifer then meets an intriguing homicide detective named Chloe, "who appears to possess an inherent goodness—unlike the worst of humanity, to which he is accustomed." What intrigues Lucifer is that Chloe appears immune to his charms.
Lucifer then starts to wonder if there is still hope for his soul.
According to One Million Moms—a group dedicated to exposing "the immorality, violence, vulgarity and profanity" in the entertainment media—Fox is portraying Lucifer as a cool-looking good guy who drives a fancy car and who irresistibly attracts women with his charms.
Another major character in the show is Archangel Amenadiel, an emissary of God who has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld.
In the pilot episode, Amenadiel warns Lucifer that he needs to get back to the Underworld, saying "You are a mockery of everything divine!"
Lucifer questions Amenadiel, "Do you think I'm the devil because I'm inherently evil or just because dear old Dad decided I was?"
The question is meant to make people rethink assumptions about good and evil, including about God and Satan, according to One Million Moms.
The message of the show is clear: Lucifer is just misunderstood. He doesn't want to be a bad guy, it's God who is forcing him to play that role, it said.
