I was hoping that the Angels would be written to be more nuanced than they were. I have enjoyed the show thus far. But the Angels are pretty much written as I was afraid they were going to be: stuck up, and entitled. But to make matters worse, they are clueless and also have an absolute joke of a court system. The show switches from being a comedy to being serious and I guess this episode tried too hard to be a comedy on a part of the story that I think should have been done with more nuance. Adam is a poorly written character and the idea of the purge makes absolutely no sense. I have a bad feeling that the rest of the show is going to follow in this footsteps of angels=evil and demons=misunderstood and it was a predictable twist that sadly is going to take a lot of the impact away from what has otherwise been a fun show with some heavy moments and some banger tracks.
The episode with Vestille and Carmilla singing "Whateve It Takes" showing the politics of Hell's overlords and the power struggle that is going to unfold I think is a lot more interesting and it's unfortunate that the Angels are being reduced to a plot device like this.
With all of that being said, the songs for Hazbin hotel have been absolute bangers. I just wish that the story didn't continue to fall apart after this. I was promised a show about a hotel that was about reformation of lost souls in hell. Not a show that half-hazardly is trying to make some point about heaven not being as good as it's cracked out to be without providing any further context.
