Well I finally watched Hazbin Hotel, and I must say. It's much better than Helluva Boss, much as I like that show I don't really like the approach it was going, constantly throwing in more and more characters and getting away from it's simply premise of being sit com about assassins.

It works better in Hazbin, as it has room for all that world building much better in my opinion..

But I'll be honest, when I first watched the pilot back in thhe day, I thought it "okay".. Reminded me of those weird adult swim shows and I had mixed feelings about. Espically Angel Dust, and ironically Pentious who seemed like one of old school villains from old cartoons and I had mixed thoughts on.

It wasn't til several rewatched that my love for Pentious grew. But Angel Dust remains devisive for me, I never really know what to make about him.

The one character I did like on first watch was Alastor, his dark humour became the episode's highlight, and the one character I was excited for. After seeing the show I must say Alastor does not disappoint.

I had a lot complicated thoughts on this show. A lot of people saying it sucks and isn't good. But there's another side saying it's the best show of the modern era. It's good, but come on, there's a lot of good shows. On the top of my head there's Arcane and Ted.

Anyway so onto the show. It has this interesting of Lucifier basically the good guy this time. Hellsing did it with Dracula. Now Viv did with the literal Devil.

I have to admit, I am pretty mixed on the fact the show it a musical, I mean I'm not really a fan of those. But I do enjoy most of them, so there's that.. Espically Vox's song.

Anyway episode one introduces to Adam. I like him, but the fact he swears just about every line is the worry I had about this show. Most modern shows in general. There are other ways to express yourself, just as the Network guy from THE WORLD'S END..

But I do enjoy him, what's not to love about a guy who plays guitar while closing a door.. Though he's also the guy constantly hits on Charlie.. Dude she's like your niece basically. That's really creepy.

Anyway episode 2 is when our boy Pentious shows up. Who appearently did not learn his lesson and is right back to attacking Alastor. Only to have literarly the exact same Cathulu thing happen to him again. Least this time he grabs a piece of Al's coat and takes what little victory he can.

Vox later sends Pentious in a spy. A rather obvious one, we don't even have to have that lead in to know this snake guy is clearly up to something.

But despite I still lasted longer than just one episode. When Angel Dust finds the camera Pentious just immediately breaks character, when I found a more interestingh premise would be Pentious trying to play dumb and nobody believe Angel right away. It's not like Vaggie would have much reason to believe anything Angel Dust has to say.

Regardless this leads to a cute moment of Charlie immediately forgiving him (rather naively, but thats' kinda the point of her). The song is a bit cringey, but the onverall moment is pretty adorable.

However, the next episode shows Pentious acting like that parabnoid druggie who thinks any kinda positive human interacts means someone is out to kill them. Though it's also the episode we are re-introduced to his Egg Boi's, the adorable little minons who unlike the ones in Dispicable Me don't overrun their welcome to point I immediately switch the channel. Their cuteness maxed only by Charlie herself really.

I also never mentioned Niffty yet. I surprised myself with her being one of my favourite characters. She's just one giant red flag, and she 100% definetly went to hell for killing someone.. But she makes it work and it's entertaining.

Anyway, let's skip to Angel's pimp guy. I forget his name. The guy who remains one of the scariest characters in a show about demons and hell, cause he's disdurbingly real, people like that that will always exist in one way or another. And so do people like people Angel sadly, the abused victim who is too timid to do anything.. Or literally can't this case.

There's this sad moment where Angel returns to hotel and Husk ask whats wrong, and Angel takes a moment before returning to his annoying abnoxuious self. That little moment I found more powerful than most would, we see the mask come on.

However let's move onto a happier note and when Husk is forced to help Angel Dust, it eventually leads into "Loser Baby". A song that makes me amazed that the fan service character is "not" the one voiced by Keith David and his dreamy voice.. I never seen princess and frog so I didn't even know Keith could sing like that.. Cool.

Anyway this than deals to a battle with literare Lone Sharks, a joke possibly taken from HelluvaBoss.

I don't have much to say the next few episodes, I liked them though. And there was something kinda adorable about Rosie simply smiling at Frank the Egg Boi, even though this scares him away.

Eventually we get to the big battle against Adam and his army. As a guy who likes the John Wick movies mostly for the battles, I can say I did enjoy this a lot. Nothing wrong with a good long battle.

Sadly Pentious dies this episode, trying to kill Adm and dying immediately. A bit comedic actually, giveh the anti-climactic nature lof it.

This also has Niffty stab Adam.. Like 'a lot'. Like if she wasn't a red flag before this would settle it. But yeah overall I liked it.

And we also see Pentious goes to heaven. Which to me says we aren't done with him yet. Afterall Pentious is probably one of the most popular characters. So I'm sure Viv wouldn't just exit him altogether..

Anyway that'sa it. Those are my thoughts. I'm sure I missed a lot, and I don't have much to say about Lucifier himself.. But otherwise please comment and leave your thoughts..
