Plot
Hell isn't the most fun place to be, considering Heaven sends angels down to kill the demons/lost souls to make sure that they will not become overpopulated in Hell. Charlie Morningstar, daughter of Lucifer Morningstar (fallen angel and ruler of Hell) and Lilith (wife to Lucifer), wants to find a way to look at the world with positivity and hope. Is there a way to redeem the demons and lost souls of hell? Charlie hopes so and wishes to aid them in their quest to redemption through her hotel "Hazbin Hotel". With the assistance of her girlfriend/bodyguard Vaggie, the radio demon Alastor, the cleaner Niffy, the drunkard bar tender Husk, Charlie hopes to save her people. Of course, it doesn't come that easily since this is residents of Hell we're talking about.
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the show.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful show all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
4/5 - *SPOILERS*
I thought this show was very cute but very naive, for the being the princess of Hell. I mean, do you see what everyone's doing?! You are exposed to watching BDSM, cannibalism, senseless shootings and killings and violence, etc. And you think that you can save these people? *facepalm* I like that she is so optimistic but it just seems like a pointless endeavor.
I did find it interesting that she exposed (in Heaven) that they were doing the exterminations and that folks in Heaven were appalled by it, but they still didn't approve of Charlie's redemption plan.
The reveal that Vaggie is actually an ex-exterminator angel was a little baffling but at the same time wasn't too earth-shattering.
I liked how they stood up against Heaven for their own survival and bonded together.
The ending of the season was good but also lackluster. I would be interested in watching the next season whenever it comes out but hopefully we don't have to wait for 5 years for it to come out.
The thing I liked the most about this show was Alastor, honestly - doing everything for his own entertainment. :-) There were some good songs, but Alastor glowed brightest in this season with "Stayed Gone". Husk and Angel Dust also were amazing in "Loser, Baby".
Is this for everyone? NO!!! Keep sensitive people (and younger children) away from this! I warned you.
Anyways, that's my review. I look forward to the second season, but will miss Sir Pentious as a resident of Hell. [I totally want to see what happens to him being in Heaven.]
Thank you for reading! More reviews to come eventually!
