I’ve heard some mixed reviews, I personally think the concept is interesting but I haven’t actually seen anything besides like, 10 minutes of episode 4. I’m not expecting anything exceptionally deep or even that great, I was just wondering if it was even fun to watch.

    I didn’t enjoy it. It seems lime something I would have enjoyed when I was in middle school or high school.

    I enjoyed it, but not a lot. It very clearly panders to former drama kids and fanfiction.net readers. Overall, I think helluva boss is better.

    I’m also not super into musical numbers in general though, which is a big part of the show.

    I only saw the first two episodes or so, but I didn’t really enjoy it. It reminded me of Drawn Together, same kind of “irreverent” humor, though admittedly I enjoyed Drawn Together when it was on TV as a teenager.

    I liked it a lot, its a tier above most of the streaming services. Helluva Boss set my expectation high and they were nearly met.

    I’m happy for the artist but I am also longing for more Helluva Boss as well. I hope the artist kept their IP in the deal.

    The way I like to think of it is being like Labyrinth if Labyrinth was set in a hotel tycoon type of setting. It’s eye candy and ear candy but not food for thought. It’s literally just pizzazz.

    I loved the pilot (ep. 0?) but was disappointed by episode 1. The change in voice actors really threw me, and the writing wasn’t as clever.

    Now I have my eyes on The Amazing Digital Circus.

    Fun setting, concept, and animation, but the overall writing quality is extremely poor. Significantly worse than the pilot, especially when it comes to the exposition.

    I really enjoyed watching it with some friends. I’m not usually a fan of musicals, but most of the songs were good and paced well enough I actually looked forward to them

    I watched and was mildly interested until the singing kicked in, then I had to nope out.

    I’m CIS white dude who is rapidly approaching 40, the show is not made for me. When the pilot came out I watched it and I was rooting for the production crew; even watching some of the animatics the production crew made while podcasting.

    The contents of what I’ve seen from watching the pilot and a little bit of the full series isn’t intended for me. The struggles the characters are going through are hard for me to relate to. I’m also never a fan of Abrahamic religious framing, I find it banal. I wish the production crew the best, but I have no intention of watching more than what I’ve seen.

      It’s just annoying to me. You know when the creator of Ren and Stimpy was able to make an uncensored version of the show and it wasn’t funny because he didn’t need to write around the restrictions? Vizziepop is like that for Invader Zim. A PG version of the show would almost certainly be funnier because it would force the writer to change up the punchlines. Right now, she uses swearing to punctuate her sentences.

      I was never a Hottopic or tumblr type, so the show was definitely not made for me. That being said, all the fans I know irl are cis, white, and at least 50. I also have had to become “a hater” because they can’t take the hint that I don’t want to watch the show with them otherwise.

      Same IRL situation.

      I thought I’d hate it. Especially with the singing, I’m really not into musicals. Ended up absolutely loving it though, partially because of those songs. Poison and You’re A Loser are fantastic, as is Happy Day In Hell.

    I personally really don’t like the art style but tried watching part of the first episode before I stopped and had to say “nope, this really isn’t for me”.
