Sense whatsupbugs reviewed Hazbin, I thought it'll be a fun excuse to re-review Helluva Boss. Back in the day, Viv made two pilots on her channel, both set in hell. And I knew from the beginning this was the one I preferred, the sitcom styled one starring Brandon Rogers and Richard Steven Horvitz.. Yeah that's right, she has Zim..

Like Hazbin, this series is intended for adult audiences. It deals with strong language, sexual content, and violence..

Like all shows, this has both positives and negatives, though the negatives are why I'm reluctant on watching Hazbin. Sense it's the same creator, it would probably equal the same problems.. Sometimes HelluvaBoss isn't sure if it wants to be a sitcom or a drama-medy.. The other problem is the over reliance on swearing that I know both shows deal with.

But on the positive, HelluvaBoss can be consistenly funny on good episodes. And there's clearly a lot of thought and work put into these characters and world building.. Espically for something that some probably would just call a "Hazbin ripoff" even though it's set in seperate timelines.. People just love to find nitpicks..

You can tell Viv was exploring a lot ideas for Hazbin in this series. From the Heaven episode, to the idea of overlords and Hell being run on mob mentality more or less, if your not a god being, than your not shit.. Blitzo had to do a lot to even make his name known. And even than, he's still known the "The IMP who made a business".. Still not taken seriously..

The show is free on Viv's youtube channel. The series follows Blitzo. A Imp who runs a hit team with his adopted daughter Loona (the wolf), his friend Moxxie, and Moxxie's wife Millie.. The show follows the team's many misadventures, while also dealing with Blitzo's many insecurities..

I knew from the beginning that Blitzo would be my favourite character, and it's always been the one thing that has never changed.. Even better that Brandon Rodgers can play the serious scenes surprisingly well, he has a lot of "they really can act" moments..

Also I always liked the cute brother/sister like relationship between Blitzo and Millie..

If you are interested in this show, here's the pilot:

Note that a lot of characters we're recast sense than.. Every other episode is found on that same website..


Anyway, if I ever get prime I probably will finally watch Hazbin. But can't say I'm in a huge hurry.. I mean Sir Pentious is probably the only character I like so far..

Interesting Note: Sir Pentious was re-cast to be played by Alex Brightman.. Who also oplays Blitzo's friend Fizzarolli.. Makes sense it would be Alex honestly, he can easily keep up with Will Stamper's energy..
