kyesgonecrazy 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.

zetes I was working a lot last week, so I was too tired to get to any movies (everything I watched I watched over the weekend). I filled the time with a couple of Adult Swim series, which typically have an 11.5 minute runtime and are therefore easily digestible. In particular, I had recently downloaded two long-since canceled series that I had missed back in the day but had always wanted to catch up with. Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil was created by Loren Bouchard, who was responsible for one of Adult Swim's most popular shows, Home Movies, as well as the recent Fox animated series Bob's Burgers (both of which are available on Netflix Instant). Lucy has much the same M.O.: very lousy animation (think alternative comic strips) backed by a very conversational style of voice acting. Basically, it's a show about people sitting around and chatting it up. This one has a slightly different angle, though, in that it ostensibly has a plot: Lucy is the Antichrist, the 21 year-old daughter of Satan (voiced by Bouchard regular H. Jon Bejamin, who has since gained great fame for voicing the protagonist of the F/X series Archer). Satan wants to dispose of the Second Coming, Jesus (pronounced in the Mexican way), a hipster DJ and David Blaine-like magician. Unfortunately, Lucy, who is dating Jesus, keeps getting in the way. There are also three emissaries from the Vatican who are hunting the Antichrist and trying to find the Second Coming. But, like all of Bouchard's shows, the characters mostly just sit around and talk. This show is VERY funny, maybe even my favorite thing Bouchard has created. The second episode was my favorite, where Satan is trying to encourage women to masturbate (which will destroy society) by opening his new dildo factory. I do believe all 11 episodes are on Youtube. It's well worth 100 minutes of your time.

snafux7 please ignore that idiotic review by Zargablarg, he's quite obviously one of the people the show mocks and is bitter. If you have a slightly twisted and irreverent sense of humor you will really adore this show. Without spoiling anything, the basic premise involves Satan (who's basically an evil moron), his daughter Lucy, (who wants to be a normal girl) and Jesus aka DJ Jesus (pronounced Hey-Zeus) who is dating Lucy. The show is funny in its own right but the deeper commentaries it makes on religion, society, true morals and values is what makes it. Sometimes it borders on retarded, but its always worth it. If you like Moral Orel on adult swim and appreciate its brilliance you should check this out...its not quite in the same league, but its fun nonetheless

Zargablarg 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.
