I wish Hazbin had more than 8 episodes this season bc 1) the pacing is all over the place (outside of episode 4) and 2) it would’ve been so nice to actually see when and why Alastor started to genuinely care about the hotel.
The pilot and the first episode of the show characterize him as sticking around for the entertainment because of how silly the idea of redeeming a sinner is to him but then episode 5 has him fully backing up Charlie’s wishes for the hotel and even tells Mimzy she’s welcomed to stay if she actually wants to try redemption and was upset she had put the hotel in danger with her presence.
I think that turnaround in Alastor’s perspective is so interesting but when did that happen? Why did that happen? How did that happen? What made him care?
He clearly still has ulterior motives, there’s 0 denying that given his scene with Husk in the same episode, but he does seem to actually care about Charlie and her hotel. Which can be connected to the leash Husk claimed Alastor is bound by but Alastor is also the most distant from the cast.
We never see him around everyone for more than a few minutes at a time. Everyone went out to the club in episode 6 but Alastor is nowhere to be found in the entire episode.
That bond with anyone in the hotel, even Charlie, that would explain Alastor’s sudden support in the hotel has not been shown on screen and I really wish the show had more time to do that.
That’s really what Hazbin lacks. Time. Time to slow down and just let the characters breathe. Everything is moving so fast because they probably didn’t know a second season was coming until later which I can understand but that also means the plot takes priority over the characters and a majority of the cast is suffering from it.
Angel’s the only character who’s gotten an episode solely about him and exploring, expanding, and developing his character and his bonds in the hotel are what we see the most. This makes sense given he’s the main guest in the hotel but no other character has been able to have their own character and arc be explored the way Angel has.
The show needed more episodes like Masquerade to explore the cast before diving headfirst into the Heaven vs. Hell redemption conflict. That was always going to be the direction the show went in but they needed so much more time to do it because there are so many characters to juggle and so much is happening. Big moments that are supposed to matter don’t hit as hard as they should bc the cast is overstuffed and everyone is fighting for screen time.
This isn’t the teams fault, they’re doing a decent job with the limit time they were given but 8 episodes is not enough time for a show this ambitious with everything it’s trying to do. Doubling the episode count to 16 would’ve done wonders for the pacing and the show could slow down and take its time.
A lot of what Hazbin presents are good ideas. It’s all interesting but none of it is given enough time because the big Heaven and Hell plot has to take a majority of the shows focus. I do hope season 2 fixes this but that’s also gonna depend where the show is going after season 1 is over. We’ll see next week.
My main wish for the show going forward is each character gets their chance to be explored just as Angel has.

Okay, look, regarding the stuff going around about Millie Gibson leaving Doctor Who after one season and Varada Sethu being cast as the new companion:
1: There is no BBC confirmation or confirmation from Millie Gibson and Varada Sethu themselves. Every single reporting on this so far has cited any source but those sources. One literally cited a FAN ACCOUNT on twitter, and said fan account nuked themselves basically. So for the love of god, wait until we get word from the BBC and the two actresses before believing anything.
2: Even if it turns out to be true, it isn't a drama moment like some of these reports are making out to be. RTD's era was pretty much companions switching constantly. Rose was the only one who lasted for more then one full season, aka series 1-2. But those companions weren't gone forever like later companions were. They still re-appeared in later series', to the point of all of the companions returning in Stolen Earth/Journey's End. Plus we literally just had Donna return in the 60th specials. And given its being alleged Ruby will still appear a little in Season 2, its clear Ruby may not be gone completely. So chill out with trying to figure out what drama is going on behind the scenes.

relax its very durable so it won't break, as long as he doesn't drop it in lava
LimL!Scar: Omg thank you
LimL!Grian: that’s probably good thing. Anyway do you happen to know where your brother is Scar?
LimL!Pearl: the Voice who gave you the pocket watch wants to give something to Bdubs
LimL!Scar: oh he’s with mum right now

Someone’s rather quiet
Oh shut up, I can see that smug look on your face all the way from where I am

Mick is 100% a switch between sensual sex and kinky sex and that’s why he’s so fuckin hot. He could even switch it up between rounds. Say he gets home after a race and he fucks you like an animal but later on he wants to be more slow and really love you. And he can alternate his dirty talk to suit the kind of sex you’re having
Absolutely, what would be a turn-on too is the fact that nobody but you would get both of his sides. He's all reserved and polite and smiley with everyone, and that you share, but the way he looks into eyes while going down on you or how dirty-mouthed he can be? that's something only you would know.
