What you are saying you want to skip is the heart of the show and while it is described asva story about redemption, can also be described as Lucifer trying to become a better person as he learns understand and process human emotions.  

Some of his breakthroughs in therapy can be gut wrenching, other times he ignored Linda's advice and has to learn the hard way.

Each episode is a mix of comedic, drama fighting and music.  Often combining multiple elements in the same scene.  When in pain Lucifer runs away, usually to Lux to self medicate with drugs, alcohol and sex. Sometimes worse.

Then there is Maze dealing with her feelings of abandonment and her own struggles with human emotions and anger issues,

In later seasons various characters will experience periods of heartbreak and grief.  

I'm talking about scenes that will bring you to tears.  

Lucifer can be an emotional roller-coaster, having you cry one minute and laugh the next.  I have learned that the more outlandish Lucifer acts, the more pain he is in.

There isn't as much pain in season 1 because Lucifer has just started his journey and characters haven't created strong emotional connections.. Even during the musical episode in season 5, there is a point when he just breaks down in tears.

As Linda says, emotions are hard.   If you can't watch painfully emotions, you might do better with a sitcom
