Show recommendation: ‘Helluva Boss’

By: Beverly Stinson

‘Helluva Boss’ is a comedy series on YouTube made by the artist, animator and YouTube creator VivziePop. The first episode aired on October 31st, 2020, and the most recent episode aired October 29th, 2023. There are currently 2 seasons.

The show follows the main characters Blitzo (Brandon Rodgers), Moxie (Richard Horvitz), Luna & Millie (Erica Lindbeck), as well as side character Stolas (Bryce Pinkham). Throughout the show they encounter problems and enemies as Blitzo (the O is silent btw) owns an assassin business where he and his partners get paid to assassinate people in the human world.

This series is rated M for mature audiences and could also maybe be considered rated R. It contains a lot of violence, gore, and profanity as well as suggestive language and sexual content. On every episode Viv starts with a warning for what the episode contains so you can be wary of the content you’re gonna see.

I’ve been watching ‘Helluva Boss’ since the release of its first episode, and even as a 11/12 year old I absolutely loved it. I’ve been so obsessed with it since it came out and a good lot of my friends are too. I had actually been a fan of Viv before she even announced ‘Helluva Boss’ and I watched her animations, including her other original series ‘Hazbin Hotel’, which even though it’s good, I still love ‘Helluva Boss’ more.

Every time I see a new episode drop it’s like an early birthday present as I really do enjoy watching it. It’s also a show extremely worthy of rewatching dozens of times.

The characters in it are so unique and all of them are voiced by very talented actors and singers like Kesha (Beelzebub) and Fizzarolli (Alex Brightman). I was actually surprised hearing Fizzarolli’s voice for the first time because I thought it sounded exactly like Beetlejuice from the original Broadway musical and it turned out it was Alex who did actually play the original Beetlejuice on Broadway.

I love that Viv is able to get all these amazing artists to be in her own show and that she’s getting more recognition for it.

‘Helluva Boss’ is one of my favorite shows literally ever and although it is pretty popular with each episode gaining over a million views in less than a day sometimes, I do feel like it should get more recognition and views because Viv works so hard on it and it’s such a good show. That’s why I want to recommend it.

Her other show ‘Hazbin Hotel’ has actually gotten so popular that it will soon be streaming on Prime Video and I really hope this means that ‘Helluva Boss’ will get to stream on more sites so more people can watch it too.

I hope more people watch ‘Helluva Boss’ and give it more popularity. I would love to be able to talk about it to more people, and I would just love it if more people knew about Viv and her amazing art.

I hope you watch it!
