      Pilot came out, it's a proper series now. You also might be confusing it with Helluva Boss, a spin-off that's on YouTube with full-length episodes.

    I felt quite similar when that show started but it feels like its slowly losing its quality. I think they've done some really good musical numbers, but the one an episode (i believe?) feels really forced sometimes. And while I don't mind a show being horny, it began to feel like that's what all the plots revolve around, and it's not nearly as interesting (especially since they're mostly retreading plot threads they've done before).

    I'm hoping hazbin can explore the world/characters/humor and not hit the same roadblocks? I already feel the pacing/timing of the jokes is a little off compared to the pilot in this first episode, but its still obviously well made.

      Yeah Helluva Boss sorta feels like it's run out of things to say. The production quality is still great, but the jokes don't feel as sharp and everything feels a lot more arbitrary, from the music...

      Yeah Helluva Boss sorta feels like it's run out of things to say. The production quality is still great, but the jokes don't feel as sharp and everything feels a lot more arbitrary, from the music to plots, to character moments.

      I tried checking out this first episode of hazbin and I'm just not feeling it. The jokes are easy and the timing is off that you can see them coming from a mile away. Glad this is being made, hope it makes money, but I'm not really the target audience anymore.
