Sleazy Serial Killer Drama Wicked City‘s Cancelled Episodes Are Now on Hulu

Wicked City was a serial killer show on ABC that relied heavily on 1980s Los Angeles nostalgia—including, but not limited to, setting crucial scenes on the Sunset Strip.

Meet the Wonderfully Absurd Devil From Fox’s Lucifer

Lucifer is a gleefully camp take on the devil to the point where it feels like it belongs back in the mid-90s weekend afternoons on the WB. That is not an insult. It is my highest form of compliment. Is this particularly true to the DC comic it’s based on? I don’t care! It’s so…
