Hazbin Hotel Ep's 1-4 GOOD or BAD? 

It feels like we are in season 2. The show acts like we already know the main characters and want to focus on the others

I think Hazbin deals with what I like to call “we have to get shit done” syndrome, typical for shows that have a lot they want to do, are very unsure if they’re gonna get cancelled considering how modern shows are killed off super quick, so the writers are trying to figure out how to speed run everything so they can do what they want to do incase they get dropped.

I do hope they address Charlie's "saviour" sort of personality in the next episodes. When she went into Angel's workplace blindly and set everything on fire, yes she had good intentions but Angel ended up getting hurt. Husk saved the day and Charlie apologised but i hope they get more of possibly Charlie's guilt about it and her thinking about her actions more. I feel like maybe it was downplayed a little. Praying to see more huskerdust in the show aswell!

The stuff around Camille killing one of the exterminators feels kinda out of place what with her being unrelated to the happenings of Charlie and her hotel, for a while I thought it was Lilith (Charlie's mother) who killed the angel since there seems to be a mystery around her being gone for 7 years.

"too many characters" was a big complaint I had when I saw the pilot. Wasn't really sure who was actually important and who was a piece of character design they focused a little too long on.

i hope charlie's very basic lessons is part of her character development. i focused on the silly "i'll wait until marriage" line Sir Pentious said, and Angel's reaction. there's so much nuance when it comes to sex other than "before marriage bad". I think she needs to break down what actually makes someone 'good' and get better teaching skills than overwhelming positivity. i'm really hoping the first 3 episodes will be the worst of it

You took the words right out of my mouth with Carmilla's song in Episode 3! When she started singing, I thought that maybe it would flashback so we could actually see her killing the angel. But instead we just get her standing around describing what happened. With how extravagant they try to be with most of the other songs visually, I can only assume it was a budget/time issue. Also, you're right that "Loser Baby" is great, but I gotta give it to Vox and Alastor's song "Stayed Away" as my favorite. SUCH a fun bop! And with a ton of creative rhyming, lyrics like "His medium is getting bloody rare", and how the song begins and ends with them both saying "I'm gonna make you wish that you'd/I'd stayed gone", I just love that song so much.

I think the third episode should had been a 5-7th episode. They should focus a main characters first and then you should try to find out who kill the Angel.

When the dead angel came up I was sure it was Lilith or Alastor who did it. Lilith and Alastor have both been gone for 7 years and conveniently Alastor shows up just as an angel is killed? I was thinking they had ties to each other and were planning something big together, culminating in either of them killing an angel and Alastor being sent by Lilith to watch over Charlie while their plans were set in motion. The angel being killed by just any overlord that didn't have any plans to do so is kinda lame because I feel that in this case an angel would turn up dead a long time ago. Did none of them ever fight an overlord before?

I agree that they introduced too many characters too fast and it doesn't feel like there's enough focus on the actual main characters, especially Charlie. It's like the same problem RWBY suffers from where most of the main characters are too flat, so it introduces a bunch of more interesting side characters. I hope this is something they're able to remedy soon. Also, it is jarring how it'll suddenly go from being comedically dark to seriously dark, similar to Helluva Boss. Personally, Whatever It Takes is my favorite song so far because both the theme of the song and how Vaggie and Carmilla's voices sounded together. Overall, a decent start so far.

Viv tossed out the premix’s of Helluva Boss a dew episodes in, I wouldn’t hold my breath for the hotel to be important

At least Camilla is a weapon manufacturer so it makes sense in that way, but she did come out of nowhere. Honestly I thought that she was nervous because someone else build a weapon that can kill angels and not her which threatened her monopoly.

While I do feel like they crammed in a lot of stuff for the first four episodes, I still enjoy it.

Currently, Hazbin Hotel is more famous for been a internet serie that was bought for a "real" company (A24) than for itself. And, after four years since the released of the original pilot, with the released of Helluva Boss, the people is more criticism that they would have been at the beginning. So, it's going to have a rough path.

I 100% agree that episode 1 is the worst, and I do think it's weird that the main cast is usually relegated to the b plot. I hadn't thought of that before, but yeah, that's weird. Episode 1 really made me agree with the "too much swearing", because Charlie swears a decent amount more than I'd expect, Adam can't go 2 seconds without swearing and, of course, everyone else swears too. It was the first time I really felt "joke; swear" was true. The following episodes were better about it, though I really think dropping the first 4 was weird? I think they should have either done a weekly release or dropped the first season all at once, because like you said, it's hard to tell what the main plot is supposed to be right now. I also totally didn't notice how Carmilla's scenes during her and Vaggie's song was so underchoreographed. It is weird now that you point it out. The only thing I disagree with is the idea that Charlie trying to help sinners the way she does is bad. I think it actually fits perfectly with her character that her attempts are naive, and even a bit stupid, especially with how much it seems like the rules of heaven are- arbitrary anf shallow in this universe. Adam and Lute being our angels and it showing that Adam is a blatant misogynist and dickhead makes sense. She herself is naive, no one knows how sinners are actually redeemed because it's never happened and the rules of heaven seem wonky at best, so this makes sense to me.

I honestly felt simultaneously underwhelmed and unsurprised. After viewing Helluva Boss I was already aware of several issues pertaining to the writing that this series was likely to inherit, but even so I'm mostly annoyed that Hazbin isn't living up to its potential. Fans the world over have created dozens of works in anticipation of the show's premiere and many of them explore interesting plotlines and character dynamics in way the show just doesn't bother too and that fact has been really grating on me as I continue watching.

The big problem with the show is that it’s coasting too much on people having seen the pilot. If you ask me, they probably should’ve re-released the pilot to make it fit in with the narrative and storyline much better. Shows like Always Sunny have recycled their pilot to fit in with the narrative of the fully released TV show. They also need to cut down to one song per episode to focus more on the story. Viv needs to take some advice from Yahtzee Croshaw when it comes to developing her characters and making more coherent storylines.

It feels like the show is rushing without properly establishing characters and plot, which could be the case since eight episodes is not enough. Also I feel like they shouldn't have revealed that a angel died to the audience, cause they try to make it a big reveal later when we already know.

my problems with the current episodes so far vaggie is supposed to be charlie’s girlfriend, but not ONCE in any of the episodes have the two agreed in smthng, its always disapproval and doubt first before anything else, and her song basically has her admitting her entire character is abt being charlie’s babysitter sir pentious being redeemed in less than 10 minutes in the end of the episode, like i get he was written to become a main character but cmon alastor using post-30s slang during his duet with vox when he supposedly hates anything post 1930s

What a lovely set of character designs. I sure hope some RU-vid rapper doesn't waste 50K on a pseudo-NSFW animation of him and one these characters.

The truth is that I have a slight problem with this series, I think that Vivizie pays much more attention to Alastor (well, he is her favorite character, that explains a lot) she even released a comic along with Ángel Dust, instead of Charlie, who literally is The central character does not develop her enough, and curiously many people prefer other characters to Charlie.

I haven't watched the episodes myself, but from what people are saying, Episode 4 is the best so far, albeit being about a theme that I feel should've been explored later rather than this early in the season, let alone the entire show. The plot of Episode 4 feels like something we'd see in a Season 2 or 3 type scenario. I will say that Hazbin Hotel is kind of struggling in the same vein as Helluva Boss where there are way too many characters being juggled around with no time for any character growth. It became immediately apparent to me that both shows attempt at making the viewer want to care about some of these characters. It's kind of hard to care about a character when we've literally been just introduced to them with no prior knowledge of them. Carmela, who killed the angel, is a perfect example of this. Sure, we know the general gist of why she did it, but we don't know about any of her other motives and traits so she's basically just a shell of a specific character trait. You could say the folks behind the show are a bit over ambitious when it comes to both of these shows. It feels like more focus was put in on the animation and songs and the writing just doesn't correlate well with these two components in most cases. However, Episode 4 could potentially be a step in the right direction.

I want more episodes like EP4 that hit you in the guts but I also want want episodes like EP2&3 that expand the world of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. They need to be space out more so we can can be more invested into these storylines and characters while also giving audience some breathing room. Also Respectless is my favourite song.

I feel like they didn't need to do so much in the first 4 episodes, now that they set up most of the stuff that was important I hope the show gets to the actual development.

I really felt like Episode 4 should've been a Season 2 episode ....am I crazy?

Adam feeling like he belongs in helluva boss and not in hazbin hotel like personality and writing wise

This is a pleasant surprise, was not expecting you to cover Hazbin Hotel

You are so right about Charlie's Hotel feeling like an afterthought. I care more about the war between angels and demons than Charlie teaching people to say sorry.

I watched the new episodes too, and all I can think is like A) I think 2 songs an episode is wayyy too many and I think it will produce a lot of really bad stinkers, like when Disney made the trolls song to pad out the music even though the movie would have been actively better without the dumb troll song 2) Character arcs are happening WAY too quickly. We JUST met Camilla and she has an epic ballad about protecting her daughters - like I don't KNOW you enough to be able to feel for your song here And the whole episode about Angel Dust is amazing, but I would think that story would work best if we spent more time with him at the hotel before we reveal his like... Whole backstory. Like it honestly could have been a whole series finale. Like why are we playing these huge chips in the very first 4 episodes? Like we need time with these characters before their super important episodes can have a real impact. But it was very fun! And I do love Angel Dust's episode but I couldn't help but think - well what is he going to do now that we all already know his whole story?

Yeah I generally agree. While I like the show in general episode 1-3 were pretty messy, but episode 4 was so brilliant it's giving me hope for the rest of the season.

A good analysis. I generally feel the show is not living up to the quality seen in the pilot or in the parrelel production of Helluva Boss. The animation feels stiffer and less 'elastic' and the jokes are being 'told' very flatly without the strong visual and audio support of the pilot which allows them to litterally just be part of the background, instead jokes are trying to be 'foreground' which is where this 'trying too hard' feel you describe is comming from. Episode 4 hits hard because it's focused and tries to just foreground drama/trauma and succeded at it, this is not coincidentally when the show feels most like Helluva Boss.

Yeah as happy as I am to finally get this show, I can’t deny how rushed everything is. We still don’t know these characters yet we get all this stuff happening as if we knew them for a long time It also doesn’t help that Charlie is suppose to be the main character, yet she’s barely in it

A lot of major plot points feel like they should come along waaaaay later, like the possible angel vs sinners war, the extermination actually being about holding power over the sinners, vaggie wondering who she is without Charlie, etc. It’s like they’re breezing by any build up to get to the big moments. Also yes Loser, Baby is a banger 🤌

oh man sounds a bit like the problems early RWBY faced and we know how that show turned out

I think they tried to do to much in the first 4 episodes but I think now they'll pace it better becuase episode 4 shows that they are slowing down the pacing, I still have high hopes for this show :)

The moment it wasn't about redeeming Sinners that enter the Hotel and get them to heavan, the moment I lost complete faith in this and refuse to watch then they dont tackle any adult scenario, even the rxpe one which would've legit been a really good thing but no, we cant have that. To call this a 18+ Cartoon is a blatent lie, this is no Adult Cartoon and the heavy adult themes were supposed to happen. Sorry Viv but this show is an embarrassment for the wait and you having premise changed but never say it until the show begins.

I like it but I kinda worried that in the future it *will* have the same problems as helluva boss ss2 Still I very like hazbin hotel so far it was so much fun,I think it going good (but kinda still worried)

The character interactions and animation are at their best in episode 4. If I wasn’t writing a review for this show I probably wouldn’t have gotten past episode 1 ngl. Glad I stuck around.

4:00 i agree. Loser baby is the best song!

Best songs are "Hell is Forever", "Loser Baby" and "Stayed Gone". Love Allastor, Husk and Angel Dusk as characters and I want to Charlie and Vaggie to get a bit more in these next seasons. Charlie has a very easy focus on how she has no parental figures near her currently and how she relies on Vaggie as a motherly figure, and Vaggie could help Charlie become a more confident character by herself. This could help in her decision making for the Hotel and the Exorcist issue

I was confused why the angel killer reveal happened in episode 3, cuz to me that certainly feels like a season finale development. It feels like they’re rushing plots to get to something bigger but there’s no real hint as to wat that could be

The first episode seemed more like an extended version of the helluva boss pilot. The whole " Let's make a commercia" plot was kind of boring. We didn't even get to see the final commercial at the end, not to mention it didn't bring them any clients so it was totally pointless.

I just listened to Loser, Baby because of this video and it indeed an amazing song.

3:00 THANK GOD, I'm not the only one who thinks so...

unpopular opinion, i like adam and found him duking out charlie twice actually funny

I know some people may not like this series, but there’s potential, not to mention that season 2 is in development so let’s see how it goes.

Okay, i think the major issue of the show is organization. A lot of the stuff happens way too fast or too slow. Here's how i would organize it 1.) Include the pilot with the amazon episodes. It'd kinda be super confusing for someone who hadn't seen the youtube episode 2.)have the first few episodes be Charlie managing the hotel with various scenes of the v-squad scattered in. 3.) After we've seen Charlie work with the sinners for a few episodes THEN we'd get the extermination announcement. Maybe have charlie find the body and her accidentally referring to it is what kicks it off? That would justify Charlie's feeling that she accidentally screwed up the meeting. 4.) We'd meet carmilla before the reveal, whether that'd have one of her daughters enroll in the hotel, have charlie schedule a meeting with her to have Carmella blacklist her guests from buying holy nukes or whatever. The audience would've felt more sympathy for her if we knew her more. 5.) This is a personal thing, but i feel like sir pentious' redemption happened too fast. Maybe have him beg for his life and have Charlie make the deal that they'd forgive him ONLY if he joined the hotel for real and he could only make inventions for good, to his chagrin. For a few episodes he'd still be his maniacal self, but every time he appears he'd be slightly less evil. Like originally he'd be like Angel and not take Charlie seriously, only staying because vaggie will perma-kill him otherwise with her angelic spear, but after a few episodes he'd eventually become the dorky version we know him as.

VENTI ICE COFFEE gotta be ny favorite Vee

1:05 I liked Adam's song but I agree that his speaking lines were pretty bad + the song pretty much did what those scenes did more effectively. So it essentially made the other scenes irrelevant.

I really liked these episodes so far. But that's also because of my expectations. We already knew that Hazbin Hotel was supposed to have a larger scale plot than Helluva Boss and when I heard that the first season only gets 8 episodes I got ready for things being rushed or squeezed together. But I still was more than sufficiently entertained

idc what anyone says if vivi says the the pilot is cannon its canon. but tbh i feel like this is less for people who are randomly join now and more for people who was herre for the past 3+ years. ep 3 feels like season 2 ep 1 it just feels like its for people who watch everything else and the BTS stuff. also there was going to be 8 main character but one got cut lol

I think that's the point of the Hotel feeling tangent, like, Charlie's plan will never work, at least not as her intends it to, her lessons being just wasted time and effort at the end, when the angels give less than an iota on how the sinners change superficially (something like Charlie making a presentation of the sinners and they just repeating how they can't accept drugs and have sex before marriage just like in ep 2) is the point, bc change is not easy, and while Charlie comes from a good intention, she is just too naive to understand that, with a second season probably focusing on actual gradual changes of heart for the main cast, including Charlie

From this review, I think I'll wait till every s1 ep is done so I can binge and skip some eps to get the plot, then rewatch if I get attached to anyone.

You gave THE BEST review of these episodes, and I've watched ALL of them on youtube. You presented a concise, accurate, on-point, thoughtful analysis that encapsulated the best points and biggest flaws without being overly critical or offering vacuous praise. Honestly, well done.

There’s a chance that the next four episodes will be more put together and organized now that they’ve dumped a bunch of characters and plot onto us in the first four.

The series needed double the episode count at least I would prefer triple the episode count. So we can at least we get more character interactions and development before moving on to more major plot point.

as a SA survivor personally I found episode 4's handling of the subject to be awful and I'm disgusted anytime Loser, Baby comes on screen but I've also see other SA survivors say otherwise so idk I'm just personally going to try continuing the series ignoring ep 4 as much as possible

You make great points! My take on Charlie is that she's supposed to have the worst of her parents personality traits, so her father’s Pride and Idealism and her Mother’s impulsiveness as well as rebelliousness, which lead to Charlie's flawed methods. Like she seems very similar to her father in the sense that she has an idea that no one thinks is realistic, and that when things don't go her way she gets really, really, down and insecure, to the point of pouting and giving up. Just like her father. But she's impulsive and rebellious like Lilith which mixes with her naivety and pride. So I think Charlie's character makes sense given her background.

I feel like the series is rushing to the end, story and character arcs are being rushed and mystery answered an episode later. I'm a little disappointed with the series at the moment... but I love the songs

This is what I think happens when you spend years world building before you make the show, you have a lot you think is important and need to get out too quickly

Episode 4 is what caused me to stay but the amount of singing and Charlie is honestly annoying made me question it. Let me not even mention how rhe color palete and animation causes me to lose track of things. Charlie feels like a kid in the wrong world when she is (as far as I know) the only person BORN in hell. How is she so hopeful when she's been here since birth??? I think it'd make more sense if she was conflicted about doing good for her kingdom not because she's nice but because losing hell scares her.i want to believe it will get better but they have a bit to go

I had problem with animation, in pilot it was fast and fun and I don't see it anymore and that was the best thing of this series next to songs.

Ooo looking forward to hearing your thoughts!!

I respect HH immensely and everyone who works or worked on it. They showed everyone you don't need to sell out to a corporate machine to get your cartoon out. But the show isn't for me. Imho if it was like a 10 - 15 minute cartoon in the veins of late 90s early 2000s cartoon network cartoons I would gel with it.

The pacing and development felt off for some characters, mostly Vaggy where the show acts like we’ve seen a lot from her to we understand what she’s about when goes into her music number. I really hope Charlie’s development is creating actually plans to help sinners redeem, cause right now she’s at the level of middle school guest speaker. Best song for me goes to ‘Respectless”, just wish it wasn’t so short.

I think the show highly assumes that you have the pilot as context to episode one which does not help it for new watchers.

I do think the first 3 episodes were made to remind people who these characters are or teach us a small bit about each character. Episode 1 was primarily about Charlie, Adam, Lute, and the shorter extermination deadline. Episode 2 seemed to be about our supporting protagonists and the main antagonists. Episode 3 definitely was meant to teach us about the overlords. Granted, they could've done better, and these episodes might've been written long before Vivziepop improved her story writing. Episode 5 and beyond will likely show an improvement as Vivziepop's writing got better and better. Also Adam was definitely designed to be painfully unfunny. I have no doubts that we are NOT supposed to find Adam funny.

I’ve only wanted the first episode, (can’t pay for a streaming service right now) and the angels are my favorite characters so far. Adam is annoying but so are many other characters (especially Angel dust) but it seems like a misdirection. He’s not taking Charlie seriously at all, and is painting himself as a annoying idiot. However he’s actually thought it over, knowing he can’t reveal that an angel has been killed, so he’s misdirecting Hell to think it’s completely random that the next extermination is in 6 months instead of 12. Also, he’s song is just really good Lute makes it clear that angels see everything as black and white, having no sympathy for any demons, and angels are pure. Her points actually makes some sense, giving that all demons are supposed to be fallen angels that followed Lucifer, and sinners are people who did sins (which can vary in intensity, some are redeemable and minor, and some are downright unforgivable) She’s also just cool asf

I understand her thing about every episode doesn't need two songs, but the fact that the pilot voice actors were replaced by people who all have a singing background is probably because of whose sponsoring the project, and yeah I guess the idea of having a bunch of characters sing some Disney seems like a marketing choice rather than a creative choice. But to each their own

Charlie should get more focus with that. But its not a bad arc to have her be idealistic and naive and eventually have to ajust to adapt with the reality without her rose coloured glasses but keep her idealism.

I just have one question: Was it worth the wait?

Honestly, you're kinda right. It kinda seems like the overloads in hell going to war with the angels is the real plot while Charlie's hotel is just there. It's a problem that the show hasn't solved from it's pilot days: how to order the story correctly so the audience knows what's supposed to be happen and what the story is supposed to be. It's like reading an book but the pages are all out of order so the audience is confused on what's supposed to be happening. Honestly, right now the show feels like this adult show, wearing a kid's cartoon disguise where the plot doesn't exist and the show just is supposed to teach a moral lesson each episode. I'm convinced right now that if you were to shave off the parts of Charlie's hotel at this point in the season it would feel a lot more streamlined because right now, the hotel feels like filler that gives our "main cast" something to do. I say main cast in quotations because they aren't really feeling like the main cast; they feel like the secondary characters that are important to the story, but not at main character levels of importance. I know that the story wants us to think they are important but they aren't doing a very good job. To me it feels like the story is telling us, "This is an adult cartoon about a princess who wants to save her kingdom by redeeming her people, but don't focus on that because there's also a far more interesting story thread about the overlords in said kingdom going to war with their exterminators. So much more interesting, in fact, that we'll introduce and flesh out those characters and pot in the first season rather than our main cast and plot." Honestly, the show kinda feels like it's pulling a "Miraculous Ladybug", although probably not as bad, when it comes to our main story and cast; the show wants us to think they're important, but at the same time, just gives us nothing to go off of. And it's not really a good choice, because I kinda like Charlie and her character and I want to see her succeed in her plan but it's a shame that the show clearly doesn't as we keep focusing our attention on minor characters who shouldn't really matter, yet THEY feel like the main characters. THEY feel like who the show is about and it's very sloppy writing

I know its been about a month and a half, However I really wished it was Charlie who killed the angel. It could have been such an interesting twist to her otherwise sweet disney princess behavior. Like I know she's supposed to be pure and whatever, but imagine she had some sort of savior complex for others because of who she is, while having the guilt of feeling like a hypocrite to her own ideology of being redeemed.

My only real issue with the series so far is the pacing. Way too much is being revealed without any investment or time to really let it sink in. An angel is killed, reveal in third episode it was a Overlord we know nothing about. Angel has a breakdown, Husk comforts him in one song. Charlie and Vaggie arent allowed to really have chemistry but than have a 'fight' due to a B plot. Its the issue of Vivz expects us to know these characters and just be invested already. We've waited four years with lots of stuff in between. But no. Investment and caring for a characters plight is earned through showing their struggles with a build up and pay off. Introducing a issue and fixing it in the same episode isnt fulfilling. So I just hope Vivz can slow it down to let some things really sink in

Seeing that they only got 8 episodes for this and were concerned they wouldn't get another one, making them say screw pacing we need to get it all out there just in case, I understand how a good few of these problems exist, pacing it better would've done this show very well honestly and with more episodes I feel that could've happened, and have less fear of having something unfinished, even if it was at least we would have a better story making us want more even if we didn't cover everything already

I think we are just dealing with a plot with each character in their own factions

Its sister show hell of a boss had a lot of the same problems with its writing. Apparently the main creator of both of them is really good at creating interesting characters but not any good at creating an interesting story

Adam honestly feels like a HUGE missed opportunity! I expected alot more dignity form the "Father of Humanity" and not just Bettlejuice 2.0...

I love Carmilla. I think she was first mentioned in episode 1. The show tells you she’s a weapons dealer multiple times so it makes sense that she would be the one with knowledge on how to kill Angels. Charlie killing an angel wouldn’t make sense for her character since we have seen her restrain herself in confrontations and it would go against the example she wants to set for people. Alastor and Vaggie wouldn’t make sense either. Vaggie is only seen having an interest in fighting to protect Charlie and as stated in episode 1, Exorcists don’t attack hellborn so they probably just stay away from her in general. Alastor doesn’t seem like the person to fight a battle he can’t win, so I have hard time seeing him battle an exorcist. Everyone assumes the exorcists can’t be killed until that meeting, which would include Alastor. There’s only 8 episodes this season so it makes sense to me that they introduce the Overlords so early, cus the season is half way over already. They can’t just not include the Overlords. I generally prefer shows with large casts tbh. More chance of finding a character I like or just more characters for me to love in general. When I saw Carmilla & Zestial in the pilot I didn’t think I’d like but I love them so far, and I can’t wait to see more of the Overlords.

also to most people the big problem is the pacing

I thought I was having a stroke hearing Trash get mentioned twice lmao

I genuinely love the show so far. The music, the animation, the characters, I'm enjoying it so fuckin much and I'm so excited for the rest of it

Well with got years of researching and livestreams I’m not surprised that hazbin hotel isn’t acting like we don’t know

Hopefully the show’s pacing and focus on characters will get better as the show goes on. As for Charlie’s very plain idea of what good is, I think it could be part of her character development since it’s almost similar to the black and white view of good & bad that the Angel’s have, and it could lead to Charlie learning and getting a deeper understanding of what’s actually good and bad. As for Carmila killing the Angel I was a little confused and intrigued to see where the show was taking this, I’m thinking maybe Carmila is relevant to the plot because of her duet with Vaggie, possibly hinting at a relation between the two? But overall although thing’s feel a little rough I’m still very happy that this show was able to take off from the RU-vid pilot it started off as and I enjoy it’s comedy, music, and characters.

I kind of wish they had saved the angel killer reveal for later, having an interesting mystery in your show is a great idea especially when it has a great pay off. Imagine if Charlie got angry about something an angel did and killed them, she is the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith so I would think that she could be pretty strong if she tried. I think Vizie said that there's a lot more to Charlie so I hope we get something interesting.

2:53 - y'mean 12, right? Or 8, I'm not sure if the Egg Bois count individually or all of them count as 1 character.

Yeah I enjoyed it, I disliked the necessary song every episode and the introduction of too many characters at once on the first episodes. Despite that it was enjoyable, I'm looking forward to the rest.

LOOSER BABY IS A BANGER

5:50 there’s a fan theory that the angel was Vaggie. It’s a terrible theory

Man yeah it woulda been so cool if we learned that an angel/angels had headed for the hotel and Charlie/Vaggie/Alastor killed them to protect it. Not to mention then our main cast would actually be directly linked to the other plotline and characters (through the overlords snooping around). Personally, I would have liked it to be Charlie to show there’s something more to her than being ditzy and naive.

To be entirely fair, I feel that it would have been better paced if they were given more than eight episodes to work with. Feels like amazon kinda forced them to speed things up in order for them to get all the season 1 story beats within that limited time frame.

It feels like the first three episodes are trying to establish as many plot hooks as possible, much to those first three episode’s detriment. Charlie having such a simplistic view of how to redeem the sinners I feel could very well be a part of her character development, which will probably involve Charlie’s world view being shattered at some point. That opening lore dump/story at the beginning of episode 1 is practically *begging* to be lacking some serious context, if not filled with outright lies.

My problem with episode 4 is thats its episode 4. I feel like this should come later because I feel like it rushes Husk's character arc and treats us like we care or know much about Angel Dust to the point they can introduce his character depth. I personally feel like it shold be like Moral Orel where we get time to know about the characters to the point we can add depth to them, like the episode "Alone."

It’s very chaotic and very angsty at the same time, and the songs are bangers, works out for me. 8/10 if we all just ignore the first episode (BUT NO THE SONG, PLEASE) it’s a very decent show and I’ll continue to watch it (especially because they have a cat).

Episode 4 is my favorite episodes on Hazbin Hotel, ( spoiler if people didn’t seen Hazbin Hotel episode 4. )I know that think there is SA warning in this episode. But I love that this episode about Angel Dust. The poison song is vary good to listen even know that song had a lot of Angel get SA by his boss Val. I do like in this episode, that we can see Angel Dust’s real name. Loser Baby is such a good song. This episode had show little bit to Husk’s backstory. This Episode is only episodes on Hazbin Hotel that had to be 18+, because this episode had alot of SA, abuse, sexual scenes and violence. When I watch this episode I feel bad for Angel Dust that he was going abuse by his boss Valentino. I do love friendship to Angel Dust and Husk in this episode. I do love when Charlie was hugging to Angel Dust, she start to cry and say sorry to him. Charlie’s girlfriend Vaggie came to see Charlie and she starting to holding her, while Charlie is still crying. ( I’m sorry if a I got some the scenes that I’m detail to this episode wrong. I try my best to find things that I like in episode 4. )

It would have actually been interesting if Charlie killed the angel. It would be interesting to see how she would deal with that. I could see it being an accident and she would question if she is a good person.

TL;DR: Show feels weirdly structured and rushed at times. So, first of all, my order of episodes from best to worst: 2>4>1>3. Although, you could also view it as 2≈4>1≈3. Second of all: I feel like I should mention that I have near-zero media literacy skills so all things that I write are just my badly structured opinions. After finishing writing my thoughts, I came back here to say that my "thoughts" below barely even qualify as ramblings of a madman, so you've been warned. And they repeat a few points from the video. I give episode 1 a slight pass for it being an opening episode and that they might have felt the need to give a brief overview of our main cast and especially Charlie. Hence why we get her repeatingly talk about the hotel. Episode 2 made me more optimistic. The introduction to the Vees and "their" (mostly Vox's) beef with Alastor was interesting and fun. Stayed Gone is my personal favourite song so far, but that's mostly irrelevant as I try to separate those things . I'm not sure how much I like Sir Pentious bcoming a full member of the cast this early when we haven't even seen our current cast interact with each other all that much yet. Him getting caught immediately and losing his composure was pretty funny though. Episode 3 was... Well, it just was? No, I (probably) get some things in it. The conflict of old and new overlords is cool. Velvet is my favourite of the Vees and I love Respectless quite a bit. As for everything else in the episode... Well, you said it yourself. We barely get any time with our current cast and yet we get introduced to 2 (4 if you count the daughters and 7 if you count other overlords being shown) new characters. What 's worse is that we get a reveal to what seemed to be one of the big mysteries - who killed the angel? A character we have literally no knowledge about? Okay, cool? I feel like if we had this reveal closer to the end of the season, after we would have gotten to know her, it would have struck much harder. Notice how I haven't even touched the other part of the episode yet? Yeah, I've got more problems with that than I have with the overlords meeting. But let's start with one positive I have for it. I really like the idea of Vaggie taking charge of the trust exercises as she is arguably the one who needs them the most. She doesn't seem to trust anyone besides Charlie in the Hotel. That's it. It had potential to be a growing moment for Vaggie. Now, onto the negatives. First: Vaggie's "conflict" felt very forced to me. Which is probably the result of us not having spent enough time with the main cast yet. Her questioning what she is without Charlie feels like a conflict a character would go through somewhere closer to the middle/end of the series. Not in the first 3 episodes. Second: her choice of exercise was weird? Or more like character's reaction to it. It seems like a normal occurence in hell and I expected Angel Dust to react to it similarly to how Nifty did. Excited that he gets to kill someone when he usually would be reprimanded for doing that because it would smear the image of the hotel or something. Third: (reminder about my near-zero media literacy first) Vaggie's answer to her conflict. Yes. I'm splitting her conflict into 2 parts. Her conflict alone feeling kinda forced is bad enough. Her answer to it feels much worse though. She asks herself what her use is without Charlie and she comes to the conclusion that she is her armor???? I feel like I'm missing something big and obvious here. Anyways! Episode 4! I don't think I can say that it was cool because... yeah. I did like it. I definitely can't talk about whether or not the topic was handled well so I won't. Loser baby was great story-wise but just isn't my style.

Damn, I did'nt know the Critical Role cast made a Cameo as the Television Overlord.

If this flows the same way helluva boss does with its story, then there's going to be a lot of growing pains before the good stuff starts coming. But that also means the story will definitely be an overall bop to watch

I watched them all and... I'm loving them! The italian dub is so good for once! I agree that the Loser song is pretty good XD!
