Helluva Boss

My spouse loves this show, but it's really not my cup of tea.

Creative world-building, but the shows attempts to strike a range of emotions with its audience through music, humor, emotion, action. It can often be a hit-or-miss.

The plot feels a bit scattered with each episode contributing little to an overall plot. I don't see much character development & don't feel connected to the characters.

The humor isn't too clever and seems to heavily rely on comments being as vulgar/sexual as possible. Which becomes predictable and lackluster within a few episodes.

Ultimately, I think it's worth checking out the 1st episode. But there's no need to keep watching if it doesn't capture your interest from there.

The animation is probably the best I've ever seen from a cartoon, and it makes it even more interesting because it's independent, this is a great recommend watch. The animation industry has been going through so much these days. You have the news that the MCU is overworking, they're animators. Do you have the news that the owl house is getting cancelled. And the fact that animation is struggling so much means that we should at least give props to the independent animation because they are making animations that would've never been made if they were under a TV network and I generally want you all to support shows like.

Firsto off, I want to say that it is impressive that this series is entirely independent considering the quality of animation, voice acting, desings, and overall quality. I fully support this series and will continue watching it while valuing the effort behind its production. With that said, I think theres a lot that could be improved, mainly a lot of the jokes and the tone. The series is mostly episodical and tries to be funny at all times, and while some times they do achive this, its not the rule. There are some episodes and some scenes were there are some jokes that just feel out of place and not on time, while also depending a lot in swearing, blood, absurdity and shock. And Im all for it, its just that at one point it gets very repetitive and unfunny. Its the same with the violence and blood. Im perfectly fine with that and there is some very good implementation of these elements in some episodes, but just as the jokes, the fact that its very continuos makes it tiring, repetitive and it makes them to lose their impressiveness. Still a good and overall funny show, but that could be much better.

We didn't expect an animation this detailed from Vivziepop since Hazbin Hotel was released literally a few days before. This hit us by surprise. It is only a pilot, but it is amazing.

All of the main characters were likeable and I found the humor hit better with me from this show than Hazbin's humour did. I would probably say I ended up enjoying this a little more than Hazbin Hotel. I would recommend you check this out if you like dark humour. Stolas and Loona were two characters which make me chuckle uncontrollably, and Moxxie and Millie's relationship is so sweet! Definitely a pilot I would love to see be turned into a show!

Ever since the pilot episode first aired on YouTube, I was already very interested on this Vivziepop (Vivienne Medrano) creation. When I found out about Vivzie's work, it was something new and inventive than the usual adult-oriented comedy shows that air on TV.

Enter Blitzo (the O is silent), who opens an assassination business called Immediate Murder Professionals (or I. M. P.) for demons and the damned who were wronged in life on Earth. With the assistance of his fellow imps Moxxie, Millie, and hellhound Loona, they take on one target after another to please their clients.

With a talented voice cast featuring the likes of Brandon Rogers, Richard Horvitz (of Invader Zim fame), and Erica Lindbeck, there's bound to be frequent crude and sexual content their characters entail along with so much bloody violence and vulgar language to boot. Although the crew of IMP try to get the job done in their assassination work, it doesn't come without some humorous setbacks. Not to mention that some episodes tend to go deep in character development as well as story.

Judging by the unique characters, designs, and adult humor, I see the formula this way:

Panty & Stocking + Invader Zim + South Park = Helluva Boss

Though definitely not for little kids - despite some of the studio's early work being kid-friendly - Vivziepop is really expanding on this world she has created and I can tell there's no stopping her.
