Gary and His Demons

Premise

The series opens on aging Gary, a demon hunter struggling to stay interested in the Earth-saving duty he never asked for, as he chases what he thinks is his last demon. After a failed capture that injures an innocent homeless boy, Gary returns to the Demon Ministry for his second retirement party in thirty years, since Chosen One status is meant to last only fifteen years. His boss Leslie reveals they have again failed to find his replacement, asking him to serve one more term until he turns 60. The show follows Gary's demon-hunting adventures and his frustration with being unable to retire.
