So I have seen one other 1 star review on here. I'm not sure I really understood what that person was saying so I figured I'd maybe clarify why someone would not like this show.My main issue with this show is that it is obviously pandering to this audience. For a show that has a bold, rad name and some pretty interesting art direction, I was surprised at how mundane the jokes and characters were. I get that that's sort of the "joke" but its not done well.1) Everyone is boring and dull. For starters it shouldn't have been called Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil she's Lucy: The Completely Average Art Student. There's nothing interesting about Lucy. She's just a template that every awkward early 20's female can project themselves onto. She goes to art school. She has a dad who does something corporate. She is more interested in laid back artists than douche bags with money (you know, the only two types of guys that exist, right.) Even her father, the Devil, voiced by H. Jon Benjamin is a pretty weak character. H. Jon Benjamin is great at voicing one type of character: a character thinks he is way cooler than he is. For the perfect example watch any episode of "Home Movies." For examples of hits and misses watch most episodes of "Archer". Benjamin is an actor who nails down the "I'm going to give you life advice that sucks" character. But when he plays the Devil it really makes no sense. Again I get the joke is that the devil is down-played but if you're literally just going to make him an awkward 40-year old corporate father that can't connect with his daughter, then just do that. Don't add needless gimmicks.2)Lack of the Lisa Simpson/Daria rule. Lisa Simpson and Daria are two characters who are very different than the average person their age. They are blindingly brilliant, quick-witted and impossible to argue with. In short, the average person shouldn't be able to relate to them and thus shouldn't care. But people did and do care, which is one reason their shows lasted so long. And this was because they didn't lose their more human traits. While Lisa would often offer incredibly profound opinions and talk at an analytical level above more 30 year olds she was still a young girl. In other occasions Lisa would still be facing issues that a little girl would face.An example of this would be the episode "Lisa's Substitute" where Lisa develops a young crush on her substitute only to have her dad embarrass her in front of him and to watch him go. At the end, as her father cheers her up by performing a monkey dance, we see that deep down, even deeper than her intelligence, is just a sweet little girl similar in many ways to one you would meet at any playground. It is this connection that makes us care about this tyke genius. The same thing can be said for Daria but I won't go into it.Lucy was completely lacking in this. While she did have something that made her exceptional (anything involving hell or the devil) I didn't notice her showing a real human side. Where was the confidence issues? Where was the worry about school, body image issues, balancing her boyfriend and her female friends? She may have dealt with some of these issues but in most cases they were quick-fixes.If the joke is that the daughter of the devil is really mundane, then make her problems mundane too. Don't make some formulaic garbage so that undergrads can fill out their fantasy of meeting a really cool, laid back musician who just happens to be really important but way too humble to care. Save the fantasies for the RomComs.

Pretty much your typical Adult Swim shite-fest.Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil, is your standard pretentious foray into the post-South Park world of television, where there's no need to strain yourself by pandering to an audience that doesn't notice every episode is essentially the same bastion of sexually overtness and talent is substituted for words like THE F-WORD WHICH IMDb ALLOWS IN ITS QUOTES BUT NOT IN REVIEWS and "douche bag". Consider how hard core this show is for not only dealing with the over-saturated market of religion, but also for using the word "dildo" in an episode title. Irony is how "mature" themes don't necessarily make you a more mature person.After South Park, much of television just became the same exact thing, following up on the hells of the old-yet-inexplicably-still-around Newgrounds website, which is notorious for such heavy-handed flash games such as Pico's Sociopathic Public Shooting. This show succeeds at not standing out from any other crap you see on Adult Swim that caters to cheap unshaven beer-belly pot-reeking white trash who listen to obnoxious music and are mistaken in thinking bad taste is an art form.In its favor, this show's characters are very nearly at least one modicum above South Park in the department of sheer interchangeability for its characters. There's the idiotic red guy, and the titular, uninteresting, self-indulgent red-haired bitch, and your ninja/pirate/spy archetypes, but beyond that it's just extraneous use of your basic formula of cheap, crappy renders for the sake of lowering production costs in hopes of increasing profit margins while amusing the bottom 60th percentile. If you're a sociopath who doesn't realize that shock humor went out with the 80s and also hasn't noticed that there have been about a hundred times as many shows with Satan as a sympathetic character compared to shows about any other religion, then you're bound to be easily amused by anything with beer in it. In that case, fornicate yourself and die.Final word: Almost as crappy and pretentious as Twilight, but thankfully not as popular.

Too often are stereotypes utilized to make things easier. In this case, the stereotype would be that Satan is pure evil and thinks only of the demise of good and that Jesus is the opposite. The new Adult Swim show Lucy: Daughter of the Devil tries to destroy those stereotypes. The devil, voiced by H. Jon Benjamin of Dr. Katz and Home Movies fame, is a generally lazy demon who is willing to help destroy the world, but concerned with his own happiness. While talking to his secretary, voiced by Melissa Bardin Galsky, also from Home Movies, Satan shows off his ability to use acronyms, which he explains makes speaking more fun. Despite the fact he is the epitome of evil, Satan shows care for his daughter, half- human, half-devil Lucy, though he clearly doesn't support her lifestyle ("I paid for your stupid art school, didn't I? And I got you a dog. A hypo-allergenic dog, mind you, because you're allergic." "Excuse me, did you just say 'stupid art school?' Dad?" "No." "Yes you did!" "Art is not stupid, Lucy."). That care for his daughter, however, reaches out to her love life, much to Lucy's dismay. After commanding the dog he bought for his daughter to convince her boyfriend to commit suicide, Satan sets his daughter, the anti-Christ, up on a date with a sleazy agent of the devil, a senator, voiced by talented voice actor Sam Seder (who also played roles on Home Movies among other credentials). Lucy immediately finds the man disgusting and becomes attracted to the DJ at the club the two are at. Here's the twist...the DJ at the club is none other than the second coming of Jesus. The end of the pilot finds the Anti-Christ and Christ "getting acquainted." Writer/director/producer Loren Bouchard, also known for his time with Dr. Katz and, again, Home Movies, produces another winning script and overall show with this one, which, though billed as such, is anything but a family comedy.

I did not know what to expect from this show before I started watching it but I must say that it is an instant classic. It may not be for everyone but if you are a Williams Street productions fan, you will love it. The show starts with three priests searching for the anti-Christ. They discover that a woman would agree to bear the child of Satan in exchange for a Datsun 280ZX. The story itself is a twist on a very familiar plot line. In present day we see Lucy, Satan's daughter, who acts like a typical 21 year old woman who is trying to have a life of her own but her father is constantly getting involved. Satan is your typical dad who is consumed with his work and yet is very committed to keeping his daughter happy. Satan is the highlight of entire pilot with his love of Anagrams and Apple Martinis. When Jesus, aka C2 in the ER or S of G (Son of God) comes into the story, he and Lucy hook up and of course her father disapproves. Brilliant writing, great voice actors, and unique animation make this show a must-see. I really hope it is picked up as a series because it has so much potential. Kudos to everyone involved in making this show.
