You'd probably enjoy Bill Willingham's "Fables," especially the Telltale game "The Wolf Among Us," which can be played before reading the books (graphic-content heads-up).

Some "game deals" accounts make that joke all the time when this game comes up. :P

Basically, Ugly Americans. (TV show aired in about 2010. New York is owned by Hell Inc, a subsidiary of Yamaguchi Enterprises Ltd. Demons integrated into society through the Articles of Integration. Demon on demon violence is legal, because it's an important part of their culture. Most demons are manufactured, but the ruling caste are born. The current CEO of Hell is Aldramac Maggotbone, whose daughter, Callie, works at the Department of Integration under Twayne Boneraper, whose mother was supposed to marry Aldramac, but he jilted her and ran off with a human.

The story follows Mark Lilly, a monstrous human being who fancies himself virtuous. He abandons children regularly, fetishises eggs to the point of obsession, plays white saviour when he feels like it (usually in complete ignorance of the situation, thinking he knows best,) but abandons everyone at their most crucial moment, regularly commits murders, and lies, cheats and steals every chance he gets. With such an abysmal track record, he is irresistible to Callie, whose human half is drawn to Mark's milquetoast facade, and her demonic half is drawn to the hideous reality of his well intentioned super evil behaviour.

The entire series is a commentary on "the path to hell being paved with good intentions."

Whilst I have been technically correct in everything I just wrote... The series doesn't actually do anything with any of the depth I just hinted. It's just a dumb "one gag per week" sitcom. Some good laughs though, and OP might enjoy it.

Ugly Americans' sick, cynical outlook is basically what paved the way for later shows such as Rick and Morty.

Dont Escape was a lovely flash game about a werewolf trying to restrain himself so he doesnt slaughter a town.

It looks like the people with vampiric S.O.'s have the best time adjusting. Night shift can suck, but it can be adjusted to better than the grief of a farewell to the mermaid. Or worse, the bitterness at having to lock away the one you love because they turn into a true, bloodthirsty, murderous menace to society.
