Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Storyteller’
Ricky Church reviews the second episode of Hazbin Hotel’s second season titled ‘Storyteller’. The show continues to impress, featuring an energetic and unforgettable musical number that stands out as one of the most powerful moments of the series so far.
The episode is set primarily in Heaven, creating a sharp contrast to Hell’s environment. Sir Pentious must adapt to these new conditions while facing skepticism from most angels. This narrative thread deepens both his character and the series’ broader exploration of redemption.
“Storyteller is a fitting companion to ‘New Pentious,’ showing Charlie grappling with survivor’s guilt and working to reinvent her image from a warlike angel slayer to a hopeful force for redemption.”
As Heaven reacts to the seemingly real possibility of salvation—and fears potential retaliation by sinners for Heaven’s secret exterminations—the story explores heavy themes of belief, morality, and forgiveness. These ideas move the season in bold new directions and heighten anticipation for future episodes.
Overall Impression
‘Storyteller’ delivers powerful themes, striking music, and meaningful character arcs, making it one of the most engaging chapters of Hazbin Hotel’s second season.
Author’s Summary: A visually vibrant and narratively rich episode, blending emotional depth with intricate world-building around themes of redemption and transformation.
