The Little Demon

Laura is a woman who realizes she is the Antichrist and must decide whether to birth her child, who is prophesied to bring about the end of days. Her estranged father, Satan, attempts to visit her and is blocked by a supernatural force field. Laura's ex-husband, a priest, tries to exorcise her and her unborn child, leading to a chaotic confrontation.

The Little Demon received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who often found its humor hit-or-miss and its premise underdeveloped. Audience reception was similarly divided, with some appreciating its unique blend of dark comedy and supernatural horror, while others found it to be crude and unfocused. The show struggled to find a consistent tone and narrative momentum.

• The show attempts a bold and unconventional premise that doesn't always land its comedic or horrific beats.

• Malin Akerman and Asa Butterfield's performances are often cited as highlights, though they can't fully salvage the uneven script.

• Critics were divided on Kevin Smith's signature humor and its effectiveness within a supernatural horror context.

Google audience: Google users appear to be somewhat more forgiving than critics, with a notable portion appreciating the show's unique premise and the performances of its lead actors. However, some viewers found the humor to be juvenile and the storyline lacking substance, leading to a split in audience opinion.

The series was originally developed for FX but was later picked up by Peacock.
