Hazbin Hotel (2019– )
8/10
Damn solid stuff!
23 January 2024
Hazbin Hotel has become a beacon of independent animation on the internet becoming a mainstream thing thanks to its being picked up by Amazon Prime and turning Viziepop's passion project into a streaming darling. It's a real accomplishment for indie-animators everywhere, and proof that Hollywood's big studios no longer have a perpetual monopoly on television animation anymore.

Hazbin Hotel is like a matured Disney musical taking cues from John Lennon's solo career with doses of Taylor Swift, and giving some heavy-metal undertones akin to Queen's Brian May, and underdog gay sympathy that Freddie Mercury himself would be ridiculously proud of. This series is a tale of redemption from the depths of circumstantial depravity, and how goodness is a random force of nature that doesn't discriminate as to WHERE it comes from.

Sure this series may be confronting for some or downright crude thanks to its honest vulgarity in a demon-centric world, but Hazbin Hotel is a well-deserved success story that's sure to deepen even further with it already having an order for Season Two. Maybe this'll result in Seasons Three and Four being picked up, or Amazon picking up Helluva Boss for airing too, and eventually (maybe) regular television syndication?

Hazbin Hotel is a solid 4/5 for me. 8/10 points. Looking forward to the rest of the series and seeing it in full once all the episodes are out.
