On the 18 scripted TV shows that aired on FOX between June 1st 2015 and May 31st 2016, there were 17 lesbian/bisexual women.
The representation was also quantifiably bad in several, tropey ways on all but perhaps Rosewood. Several negative clichés plague the characters across all shows, having depictions ranging from bisexual erasure to the psychotic/evil bisexual/lesbian and unfaithful/promiscuous characters. And while not a writing device in of itself, several of the characters counted are no more than background characters with little to no storylines of their own beyond existing as a plot device.

Actually, Lucifer does have a bisexual female character. It’s not explored in much detail, but Maze is bisexual, and so is Lucifer.
I’m not sure if she’s really bi in canon, but it’s implied once or twice. Maze is a walking trope for when TV bisexuality is associated with evil/promiscuous behavior.
