12 Best Shows Like Little Demon You Should Watch Next

Adult animation doesn’t get much raunchier than Netflix’s “Big Mouth.” The series, co-created by comedian Nick Kroll and “Family Guy” writer Andrew Goldberg, follows Nick and Andrew as teenagers going through the ups and downs of puberty with their friends. The catch is that each pubescent teen is haunted by their own Hormone Monster, who encourages them to indulge in their primal urges. Kroll voices himself, while Andrew is voiced by Kroll’s comedy partner John Mulaney. 

While the show begins as an exploration of puberty, it’s evolved over the course of its run to dive into other topics of growing up, such as anxiety, depression, and shame. The show also features an expansive guest star roster, including Maya Rudolph, Hugh Jackman, and Jean Smart. In 2022, “Big Mouth” launched a spinoff series, “Human Resources,” that takes place in an office where various Hormone Monsters and similar creatures, like the Logic Rock and Lovebug, work. 

The show has enjoyed consistent acclaim from critics who look past its overtly profane humor and engage with its deeper themes, including children growing up and dealing with various struggles and traumas in life. Later seasons have earned praise from critics for storylines relating to race, LGBTQ struggles, and mental health.
