Feels like this is a fairly obvious statement considering they have the same creator, but odds are you will have the same opinion of this as you would for Helluva. It has a lot of the same strengths, the humor is great, the characters are all fun, and it can transition to more dramatic moments pretty well. The songs are also great overall, with Loser Baby being a stand out for me. I haven't disliked an episode so far, though I do think some are better than others.
My biggest issue with the show is the pacing, as I feel things move along way too fast. The first 6 episodes take place over the course of about five months, and a lot of stuff gets crammed into that time. It makes it feel like some fun potential stories got rushed because Viz only got greenlit 8 episodes in a season, so things like Angel's slow redemption and Lucifer's choice to help out felt rush. Some characters got a bit rushed to, with Emily being a good example. She's likable, but I feel like we could have used another episode to get to know her so we can really see her form a friendship with Charlie and decide to support the hotel. I think the show could have benefitted from another 4 episodes to slow down the pace and allow us to get explore the characters and the arcs.
All in all though, very solid show. I enjoyed it for the most part and can't wait for more.
