To put it simply,Hazbin Hotelwas worth the wait.
Blake Romanis an instant star as Angel Dust.
Its hard to believe this is one of his first acting credits fresh out of school.
In an attempt to find a non-violent alternative for reducing Hell’s overpopulation, the daughter of Lucifer opens a rehabilitation hotel that offers a group of misfit demons a chance at redemption.
His performance is complicated and uncomfortable exactly when it needs to be.
While every character pulls strong emotions out of the audience, Angels episode is raw and earned.
It is genius work.
The big bursts of distorted voices balanced well with the minute crackling electrical hums constantly around these two characters.
Thepilot episodeand the ADDICT music video from YouTube are still very much in play.
However, the series does an excellent job of covering these entries' basic groundwork.

The two shows are like a pair of siblings in the back of a car.
They share the same space while hovering their hands around each others faces, saying Im not touching you!
The first episode clearly lays out the stakes for the following episodes to build upon.

Where Is Cherri Bomb in ‘Hazbin Hotel?’
She is also a rival ofSir Pentious (Alex Brightman), battling him for territory in the pilot.
I was under the notion that Cherri was going to be a major player in the overall story.
However, when hervoice actor announcementcame so late, it became clearer this wasnt the case.
Its not a criticism, per se, and more a surprise I was not expecting.
Cherri is a wonderful, positive force in Angels life and a thorn in Pentious side.
The cast shines, bringing to life creatorVivienne Medranos world in something so special.
All the award shows better watch out asHazbin Hotelis coming for them.
Hazbin Hotel’sfour-episode premiere will be able to stream on Prime Video in the U.S. starting January 19.
The season will debut two episodes per week until its finale on February 2.
