Murder Family

This episode feels like Helluva Boss. It handles all of its characters extremely well, none feel like they're ever out of character, and compared to the rest of the show, this episode feels like it was actually made for more mature audiences. I never got bored throughout the entire episode, yet one problem I have with every episode is the extremely predictable humor on certain occasions, and the akwardness of some of the jokes. This episode is what Helluva Boss aims to be, yet none of the later episodes have hit me quite as well since. I hope Vivz will someday look back on the earlier episodes and take notes of the way they wrote the first episodes.

This was the first episode I've watched and it was boring and generic. The dark humor was badly executed imo and the ending was atrocious. I think the idea of this show is decent, but this episode is just an average bad adult cartoon. I'm giving this episode a 4/10 but it's very near to the 3/10.

The characters aren't really memorable or even likable. It's the kind of show that throws a lot of dark jokes and sex jokes and doesn't even try doing an actually funny and creative joke. The animation is good and it's the only thing in the episode that was actually fun to watch, but it wasn't amazing or anything like that.

3.5/10 ~ 4/10, low bad.

Updated: I've watched until S2E4 and the show overall is definitely better than this, but I really wish this first episode was a lot better.

With their official episode for their web series (Before Hazbin Hotel will change). So far they improve for this show to work, though the writing might need some balance.

With snappy comedy, gorgeous animation, and above average voice casting, the first episode of Helluva Boss proves its pilot episode wasn't all talk. While a few surprising casting changes were made for two main characters, beyond that criticism there are no real other glaring issues. This show has terrific potential and I cant wait to see where it goes next.

This episode was funny, suspenseful, and very well animated. The part with Stolas was also priceless! This episode was an amazing start to the actual series!
