"Little Demon" (S01, 1/2 hr, 6 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"Little Demon" (S01, 1/2 hr, 6 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.… Expand

It's well animated and reasonably entertaining, but it's not particularly funny despite solid performances and animation. It's a very inconsistent show which can't decide if it wants to be drama or comedy, and does neither particularly well.It's well animated and reasonably entertaining, but it's not particularly funny despite solid performances and animation. It's a very inconsistent show which can't decide if it wants to be drama or comedy, and does neither particularly well. This show would have been far better if it dropped the comedic elements entirely, and focused more on serious drama, action and horror. There's so much juxtapositioning going on that the tone is all over the place, and the show is just super inconsistent in so many ways (that any analytical viewer will immediately notice).

It gets too serious delving into topics like body dysmorphia, depression and other emotional stuff which is really jarring given that it's billed as a 'sitcom', especially one where people are constantly ripped to shreds in fountains of gore. Inconsistent is how I'd describe the whole thing. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's all serious, sometimes it's very action-focused. This is a drama with some comedy and action elements. Not truly a comedy series because it takes itself far too seriously (and not in a poignant profound and realistic way like Bojack Horseman does it).

This is a show in which our protagonist violently murders 2 kids (full-on Tetsuo style gore body explosions) in the school bathroom in the first episode, and it's never mentioned again. I guess nobody noticed. The 'best friend' character witnesses this and seems totally fine with it. He's a lot more concerned about his body dysmorphia and isn't even traumatised by seeing two kids ripped to pieces by a demon. The body dysmorphia storyline basically ends with the moral of trying to help people is a bad idea, which is a bizarre outcome considering the character is not some punching bag...we're actually supposed to be quite sympathetic to him. This show just doesn't make sense most of the time. It's a shame too, because I love Aubrey Plaza and I love Danny DeVito. Their performances are fine, but this just isn't really a comedy series frankly. It's more drama and that's a waste of the setting and premise. I found myself losing interest about 5 episodes in, though I had been constantly questioning things from the first episode. To the 'critics' who 1) are upset because gore and satan etc, and 2) are giving this 5/5 or 10/10 scores just for triggering group 1: Please grow up. All of you. Totally unreasonable to review bomb with hyperbolic negative or unrealistically high scores. Please grow up! This show is really kinda average and I'd give it 6 out of 10 or so. 2.5/5 in this instance. It has positives, but it has an equally large amount of negatives.… Expand
