Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 74 /100

Critics generally received Little Demon as a darkly funny and inventive adult animated comedy, earning praise for its stellar voice cast—led by Danny DeVito and Aubrey Plaza—and its sharp dark humor. Fans of horror and adult animation found much to enjoy in its suburban-satanic premise and high-energy gag writing.

Reviewers commended the series' visual creativity, background sight gags, and affectionate homage to the horror genre. Many noted that behind the blood and profanity lay a solid core with surprising heart, drawing favorable comparisons to hit animated comedies such as Rick and Morty and BoJack Horseman.

However, the show's extreme gore, profanity, and explicit content proved polarizing. Certain critics argued that the series sometimes prioritized chaotic shock value and gross-out humor over refined plotting and dialogue, keeping it from fully capitalizing on its concept.

“Little Demon has a solid premise, a great cast, some well-executed animation, and a genuine heart at its center.”

“the plotting and dialogue never match the visual creativity of “Little Demon.””

“one of the more memorable animated series of 2022”

“profane and very violent”

Why fans love it

Little Demon finds comedy in the friction between domestic monotony and supernatural hostility. Setting the story of an Antichrist teenager and her mother in Delaware creates a grounded, banal backdrop for the absurdity of demonic interference. The show leans into the chaotic dynamics of an unconventional family unit while navigating the literal intrusions of an underworld father seeking custody.

Danny DeVito voices the persistent antagonist whose demands complicate the efforts of his daughter and former partner to remain unnoticed. The animation style pairs with a cynical tone to explore the struggle of keeping a normal routine when one relative represents the literal end of days. It avoids standard sitcom tropes by centering on the precarious bond between a reluctant mother and a young girl learning to harness her formidable, hellish potential.
