What's the Story?
In DEVIL MAY CARE, the Devil (voiced by Alan Tudyk) has forgone his usual torture methods for a new venture in "gentrification." He builds a city in hell full of hipsters and salad bars, and hires a new assistant/social media manager named Beans (Asif Ali). Beans, the Devil, and his other lackeys work together to ensure the success of hell's first social media platform, but just because the torture has stopped that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of pain along the way.
Is It Any Good?
This racy adult cartoon thrives on sexual innuendo and violent humor. Although the characters in the show rarely inflict pain upon each other intentionally (except the cats, described as the only true evil beings in hell), much of the humor comes from the pain they experience.
Despite this reliance on physical humor, Devil May Care is essentially a workplace comedy about a growing startup. Adult viewers who are fans of contemptuous comedy may enjoy the jokes poking fun at millennial and Gen Z culture.
