To balance the more humorous side of the show, Lucifer also has dark themes and tackles serious subjects. It is unbelievable how much development they fit in one episode — one second someone's making a sex joke but at the end of the episode you're actually crying.
For example, they show Trixie's side and what it's like being a child with divorced parents, both of which are detectives and therefore often in danger. And whilst Ella Lopez' backstory is yet to fully revealed, in the latest episode (3x06) she explained how she likes gambling because it helps "quiet the voices".
One rather large part of the show and Lucifer Morningstar's character is him becoming more human, with emotions and everything he's not used to. With Linda's help, he explores all these feelings and discovers new sides of himself, and the episodes / sessions with Linda usually have an important lesson.
And the best part is that the writers use the supernatural side of the show to do this. Lucifer has a lot of hatred for his Father — oh that's right, we're talking about God and what a complex relationship they have. Amenadiel is a fallen angel and that really makes him question things. Mazikeen tries to find herself and figure put where she fits in the world, find purpose in her life because she is a demon and literally has no soul.
In conclusion, Lucifer shows not only the funny, best parts about the characters, but the tragic, sad, broken parts that make them who they are, and although we probably can't relate to the whole fallen angel or soulless demon thing, the struggles are something that we can find in our lives, too.
