Satan’s response: “Comedy.” Little Demon really wants to make you, and itself, laugh.Īmid this endless stream of jokes, the show’s soul can get a little lost. When a character is forced to shoot himself by Satan, he doesn’t aim for the head, or the stomach, or the foot - he blows a hole through his dick. Its characters swear up a storm, unleash fountains of blood and gore, snicker at gross bodily functions (in the second episode, Chrissy adopts “pee pee poo poo” as a sort of catchphrase) and, in Laura’s case, strip down naked for arcane rituals without batting an eye. More often, its humor lands at the intersection of gleeful, irreverent and juvenile. It’s deeply fucked-up and, if that’s your sense of humor, deeply funny.
Dad and daughter have already moved on, but Little Demon lingers on the unnamed family long enough to take in the terror on the child’s face and the horror on his father’s, and there’s no doubt the incident has left them with the sort of trauma that’ll take a lifetime of therapy to unpack. During Chrissy’s first lesson in demonic possession, she exits a little boy’s body just in time for the kid to come to as his father - who’s been driven to desperation by Chrissy and Satan’s supernatural taunting - is strangling him. The character has nothing to do with the series’ plot or larger themes, but the random silliness is the point: “I thought that was pretty cool,” Satan shrugs. He’s got a bird head and he craps bubbles,” he explains. On his first walk with Chrissy through the metaphysical realm, Satan points out a figure by the side of the road. Little Demon‘s supernatural angle allows for plenty of room for its makers (Darcy Fowler, Kieran Valla and Seth Kirschner are the show’s creators) to let their imaginations run wild, and the amusement they find in executing their bizarre visions is evident and endearing. The event creates a cosmic black void over her town that threatens to vacuum up everything in the path, and that serves as a beacon for Satan to come get his kid, the Antichrist. When Chrissy gets her first period at the worst possible time, it doesn’t only feel like the end of the world, it very well may be.
We’ve all heard (or felt) that puberty is hell, custody battles are war, shitty exes are the devil, deadbeat dads are monsters it’s just that for the Feinbergs, these aren’t mere metaphors. The core concept of Little Demon is solid, taking relatable struggles and amping them up to goofy extremes.
