I'm a very big fan of Helluva Boss but wasn't quite sold on the pilot episode of Hazbin Hotel that has existed on Youtube for years. Imagine my suprise when this was even better than anything I've seen in Helluva Boss. Vivziepop really took everything he learned over the years and applied it here. Of course the Prime-money doesn't hurt. It actually did feel like a Disney musical, just with a bit more mature themes and as good as Disney hasn't been since the 90s.

Btw. the pilot episode I linked above does take place before this episode. It's not necessary, which is probably why they didn't rehash it, but maybe once you are through with the season go back and watch it. It's quite interesting and just because it wasn't quite on par with this show or Helluva Boss, doesn't mean that it's bad by any means.

One of my teen music students told me I need to watch this. I'm really enjoying it-I love music theater :)

I am really enjoying this show. The animation is great (unlike the new Amazon Batman series). The characters are compelling, the stories are detailed and the songs are fantastic. I am really surprised that no one seems to commenting on this great show.
