Television Review: Gary and His Demons Season 1
Nathan_Needs_A_Username6 April 2019
We are clearly living in a golden age for adult animation and in the middle of this new era it was clear that some great shows were inevitably going to go unnoticed by a lot of people. Gary and His Demons is unfortunately one of those shows that flies completely under the radar due to similarities to other shows.
This show is completely up my street, this is exactly my sense of humour. The show follows a demon hunter who over the years has become fed-up with his job and has slowly slipped into a pretty dark place. The juxtaposition of the creative demon designs and Gary's couldn't care less attitude is really funny and helps give the show a fresh feel.
Of course as an exploration of nihilism with a depressed protagonist done through animation inevitably this was going to draw comparisons to Rick and Morty especially with the season's harsh and uncompromisingly brutal ending. Personally I don't think the show ever quite escapes Rick and Morty's admittedly large shadow but does manage to serve as a good substitute while it's not on the air.
This is still a new show finding it's voice. I'm curious to see if they decide to go for a season 2 or not as I think there is still some untapped potential with this idea.
Overall for fans of the new wave of adult animation check this out.

Gary and His Demons is hilarious! I hope they haven't cancelled it! I haven't been able to find any info about season 2.
This is one of the best adult animated series I've ever seen! Well written, funny as hell, and great cast!
Want a season. 2

Oh my various kumbas!!! I was laughing so hard I was crying. Thank you for that, finally an awesome show that I understand and I dont frickin get epileptic seizures from watching it, unlike the nowadays cartoons, I hope you continue the show!!!!
Line between knock-off & tribute is little thin but still original enough to stand on its own

Does with several decades of cartoon experience will see that this show resemblances Rick and Morty. Let's get that out of the way right away. Still has enough original ideas to stand on it's own and deserves the credit and critical acclaim. Some things spoil it though such as Gary's voice and abrasiveness with side-kicks which are almost completely taken from Rick Sanchez.
It's a bit of a shame that Canadas most successful cartoon today could be knocking-off an US cartoon. But good storylines, nice characters, good voices and enough originality we can write that under tribute instead of a duplication.

Created by and starring Mark Little as Gary, a grumpy middle aged demon hunter near retirement whose tired of his existence fighting evil. Quite funny throughout, the episode are quite random in both their plots and humour, with plenty of expletives and very dark jokes. With very much a Rick & Morty vibe, including Little's voice acting as Gary, the humour and storytelling feels like it came from the same brand of comedy, although simply because it is newer it doesn't seem quite as novel as R&M. The series stays consistent in quality of its two series so far, and as much as I wanted to say this Canadian adult comedy was a hidden better R&M that everyone should go watch I unfortunately can't, however any fans of R&M will love this. Immature adult fun.
Give it a shot if you have VRV

What are other people seeing here???

I was just listening and thought it was Rick and Morty. It sure sounds the same. But i was wondering why i wasnt laughing? Then I look up to see animation worse than Bobs Burgers and am like, W T F man? How does this show have such high ratings?
SWORD MAKE ME BETTER!

This show is absolutely fantastic. The amount of train wreck tied together with hilarious human moments in this show makes me wish there were 5 more seasons ready for me to watch.
The way everything seems to always go right (at Gary's expense) is done masterfully. I have to say, Gary's misfortune is my entertainment.

A must watch

Most underrated show of all time
somberhydra4 April 2021
The fact this show doesn't have any more seasons is mind boggling!!!! This show is sadly under appreciated and unknown. Perhaps due to bad advertising or just not enough of it. The characters are so unique and interesting. The show itself is freaking hilarious. And the plot is perfect. With only 16 episodes at about 11 minutes each anyone can watch this is in a few days. I promise you will love it once you give it a chance. My only issue with this show is the ending. I won't provide spoilers but I was a bit disappointed at it (just my
opinion). Besides that this masterpiece is worth every bit of your time. You will not regret watching it.
Great stuff

Stumbled on a great show
exjesse-5686228 June 2019
I was just browsing after watching happy & wow did I find my new favorite show (after rick & morty of course). I really hope they pick this show up I would be waiting to watch each one. If syfy won't pick it up adult swim should snag them up.
As dark as Rick & Morty
srpnt24 November 2018
A dark comedy series. The writing is excellent and the voice actors do an excellent job of giving it life. They also nail the jokes, with great comedic timing.
If you are hanging for the next season of Rick & Morty, then this is the show you want to scratch that itch!
Hilariously Dark.

Must watch hilarious
dungeonjoe-8382316 May 2021
This is an amazing gem that deserves to be picked up and more seasons put out. Someone, please help produce this show. The world needs more of this, and with the correct marketing, could make a fortune. I found this on the vrb app on my roku tv. It was a breathe of fresh air, hilarious and smart. Any fan of animation and comedy needs to do themselves a favor and watch this show.
1st review ever
fcbmhgzpn23 February 2023
Just finished season 1and 2,and it was great. Finally an. Adult cartoon that is what is says it is!.I started watching this expecting the same bs I've experienced with many adult cartoons that main function is based on fart jokes, constant sexual innuendo and borderline absurd content. I honestly can't count how many literal laugh out loud moments I had. As stated in my header this is my first review and this series earned it. There's a ton of laughs and some shocking moments as well as some character development that opens up the world of Gary! Thank you both Marks and mondo media for bringing this to me.
Please tell me there will be a season 3🤞
