Lucifer: A Priest Walks Into a Bar (2016)
One of the best episode of the show
This episode is so good, clearly one of my favorite. I love every part: lot of strong emotions, deep meaningful dialogues, beautiful story and songs. And the piano scene, perfect! We see many different aspects of Lucifer and it made his caracter even more interresting. Colman Domingo as the priest is really great.

Love little Jerry
I quite like the whole flash back with little Jerry and him witnessing some horrible event in the wood. I find the sequence kind of thrilling but lessen by the fact that we know nothing bad could happen to 10 years old Jerry because he's very much alive now. Also opening by "don't fear the reaper" was a big plus for me.
I loved seeing his first investigation coming to an end even if I find it weird that Jerry never scan the ground with the scanning tech before. With his personnality, he should have done it like 20 years ago instead of just digging around. I find Jerry's quest quite touching when he talks about being the only one looking for the victim or when he confronts his friends about not believe him.
The other 5-0 plot was OK and classic.
Hawaii Five-0: Aia i Hi'ikua; i Hi'ialo (2018)
Classical episode
I find the opening sequence quite unusual for the show. Too bad that after, the plot became more simple and classic. A baby is found and the 5-0 look after the parents. We have multiple leads: the dead friend of Steve, the father and the mother. Classic episode: some investigation, some big shooting, bad guy dead. The whole NCIS agent in the way was a bit weak, here just to have some funny scene.
I was disappointed and sad with Adam/Kono relationship evolution. I understand that the actress left the show and all that stuff but to conclude their story like that... Such a pity. I would have prefer a recast (even if I loved Grace) or let it continu off screen. I don't really understand what the writers want to do with Adam this season. I'd love to see him more.

Love the 40' style but a missed opportunity
I love the old 40' style. They put effort and risks to do it, love it. But the plot wasn't that great. It kind of irritate me that Steve can resolve an 80 years old case in one night or two. And not any case, no, a great mystery. It made no sense. How the grand father's best friend missed that? Seems to be a very lame cop.
I would have like to have the old man narrating the past sequence and his own investigation then having the dream/resolving thing completing the whole case.
Anyway, it was fun to see everyone in another role in the past even if the writers could have been more crazy with the distribution.
I was also so surpised by the end with Steve and Danny abandoning their restaurant. What?! We had this meh plot for more than a season just to end like that. A bit disappointed here. It could have at least blow up. Still weird for Danny to give up his retirement dream plan like that. I guess the show didn't have the money to keep the set or something.
Hawaii Five-0: Lele pu na manu like (2018)
Too forced
I'm not american and Thanksgiving episodes tend to annoy me but this one! Oh awful. I love Grover character but here, way too much. His plot with his brother (not even introduced before) was so bad, so long, so forced and so pathetic. I was completely out of this episode and so bored that I watch it in 2x speed.
The thief plot was weak and the moral at the end, urgh! it feels like it's OK to steal rich people to feed for one meal poor people no matter that a poor guy died under the safe. Who knows maybe he was still alive when the great thief drill the safe and didn't call 911...
I'm a bit excessive but for me, one a the worst episode of the show.
Hawaii Five-0: Mai ka po mai ka 'oia'i'o (2018)
Good episode
I like the theme of civil vigilante and some (timid here) moral questions around it. The whole investigation around the murder was interesting and the bad guy wasn't obvious. I totally love the ending in comic book style. It was a good and funny tribute to comics. I still find Jerry a bit too serious this season and more depress. I like the actress playing the comic book shop's owner (Sharon). I don't know I find her very earnest.
Good episode and the Adam plot made me curious.
Hawaii Five-0: Pio ke kukui, po'ele ka hale (2018)
Good but too much obvious plot
This episode was good. What I didn't like was the "too easy to see plot". I knew from the second they entered that ranch, they'll all gonna died except Steve. I was a good and emotionnal ending for Joe's character. I just wanted more realism, less obvious plot. Like the sniper friend dying first, so predictible. I would have like to see him survive or see a hidden sniper take Joe's life after they though it's over... The shooting was a bit weak, especially when the team shot the bad guys outside.
The emotional moment was strong and beautiful but a bit to forced to completely work on me.
Hawaii Five-0: Hala I Ke Ala O'i'ole Mai (2019)
Classic revenge
I saw some very harsh review and I can understand why. But to me, it's a classic revenge episode. Nothing really different from the begining of the show or others US show... You know, the hero gathers a team, goes dirty to have infos, tracks down some guys, kills a bunch of no name and gets revenge. Big classic. I like it even if I wonder where the hell they had the money to finance such an operation (the fligh, guns, locals, the casino...).I like the rythme, the tension of the track. Quite cool. I still love to see Harry so a good point here. I like how they use Catherine this time. I find her usefull and at her place, not like her last appearence (so random!).
The skeleton's investigation was OK, a bit weak compare to the other plot.
