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’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.
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’m a cis white dude who is 41 and I loved it
I’m also 41, and what little I’ve seen I have enjoyed. The show is on my todo-list.
I guess MisterNeon might be too young to understand…
Something something millennials
Damn you’re all old!

I’m going to lean towards I’m too old and crotchety. I became an old man when I was young.
I’m jealous then. I wish I could enjoy more things.
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.
It’s a musical, the songs are catchy.
However I disliked how fast paced the writing was, and how even though it’s called “Hazbin Hotel” and the pilot framed it as a sort of slice of life “bunch weirdos” hanging out and getting redemption, instead that weirdly became the B plot?
Somehow they took the whole story and shifted it over to the B plot and pulled this other big high stakes thing out as the A plot.
That’s not really what I was wanting to watch, and it feels a bit like they hit swapped out the story on me, so I kinda got a bit turned off by that.
I don’t give a shit about some high stakes angels vs demons war end game shit.
I wanted to see interpersonal relationships of weirdos learning to co-exist.
Tl;dr: I was expecting something closer to The Good Place, but instead that got side lined by some huge MCU style plot no one asked for.
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.
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, I really enjoyed it overall.
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.
