Little Demon

I'm a sucker for this animated sitcoms, but it's pretty easy after the first few episodes to tell if a network has created a pile of steaming crap that assaults the audience with cheap jokes or actually delivers on a new concept while also being hilarious. "Little Demon" most definitely fits into the second bucket, and the casting of Aubrey Plaza as the Anti-Christ's mother and Danny DeVito as the Devil himself is just fantastic. Plaza steals the show with the most interesting character dynamic and the best lines. They definitely need to expand the depth of the plot is future seasons, but for an opening season the single-story episodes worked for me.

Great show.

At first I was a bit disapointed because I saw the 18+ rating, and expected it to be for adults. But the amount of gore and horror was very limited. I guess it's the occational nudity that does it, then? I would say the main audience is teenagers and I have recommended the series to my own kid (14 years).

That aside it's a nice, fun, gripping, and quite nice show, with some great voices and a nice visual style.

The dynamic between the main characters is snappy, funny and at times heartwrenching. I think I was 3 or 4 episodes in before I realised who the voice actors were when I looked it up, because I thought I could recognise some of them.

I'm already looking forward to the next season.

I was happy with the show from the beginning, but the critiques of bad writing were fair. The writing in the first 4 episodes started out as being pretty predictable and lacked anything that made it stand out. The show was definitely riding on perfect voice casting and a relatively fun concept.

After watching the most recent episode, 5, I think that it's finally coming into it's place. The characters are more fleshed out and the conflicts they encounter spawn some pretty good jokes. I feel like this was the first episode where there were original jokes and an original premise with the Chrissy and Laura plotline.

I would love to see more from the show and think that the potential is there for it to be a great adult cartoon. Unfortunately the general consensus doesn't offer a positive outlook and I'm pretty sure the show will end up being cancelled soon enough. Hopefully more people will give the show a chance rather than write it off as a dud after only 4 average episodes.

I recommend checking it out, despite what a lot people say.

Edit: Easy 9 at this point. 9 episodes in and I'm hooked. The story gets really good and the animation is great. All of the side plots have been hilarious, especially with the Rats vs Roaches plot.

No spoil, super fun, extremely well written, entertaining, well animated and shaded very good surprise the 2 first episodes was amazing.

Waiting for more !!!

Hope they will keep the same art direction and the same delirious scripting it is outrageous, bloody, and so fun !

It's been so long time i have not laugh like that some sentences deserve to be saved somewhere !

It is very good to find something so fresh and funny and bloody ^^ we need more like that, many more.

And by the way it is not for children at all.

Some people said it is a rip-off of an old tv show, yes it is, but sorry, it is WAAAAAAAAY better !

The original tv show is : Lucy, Daughter of the Devil And it was not very good.

"Little Demon" (S01, 1/2 hr, 10 eps, FX) is the naughtiest little animated that's aired on a mainstream cable channel (I think). No swear word is off limits, and there's full frontal female nudity in ep 1 so yeh, there's that. I've watched the first two eps so far and the point of the show is 13yo daughter rebelling against feuding divorced mom and dad - Satan who resides in the Metaphysical Realm , not Hell per se, but yeh, it's Hell. He's trying to get full custody since she's coming of age as the Antichrist, but she just wants to be a normal teen girl. The denizens of Hell are goofy albeit nightmarish creatures except for Satan who appears as a cardigan wearing 50 year old safe-dad ala Mr Rogers, but he's voiced by Danny Devito who at nearly 80 you'd think would be retired with Rhea on an island they own. But no, he along with two of his kids are EPs of this show, so that's a thing now, the actor-EP, because getting paid gazillions as an actor just isn't enough these days with inflation and all, you gotta get the show's distribution money stream, too, to make ends meet, sheesh. So far, the show leans heavy on instant possession as a story device, ugh. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the show's not for me because I'm not a teen girl of divorced parents feuding over me, trying to prove they love me more than the other, but there are plenty who will identify with this, so have at it.
