"Lucifer," a DC Comics series that follows the devil relocating to Los Angeles, was regularly among the top 10 most in-demand streaming TV series in the US after it debuted on Netflix, according to weekly data from data firm Parrot Analytics . The company measures demand expressions, which reflect a show's viewership, desire, and engagement weighted by importance.
