A new season of Prime Video’s Hazbin Hotel has arrived, and with it, a fresh wave of recycled discourse.
A reminder: This show is meant for adults, which means that it has adult themes. A central one that remains throughout both seasons is that of the abusive relationship between film overlord Valentino (Joel Perez) and porn star Angel Dust (Blake Roman). Valentino owns Angel’s soul, which automatically puts them at a power imbalance, and which is very clearly stated (and shown) in episode 4 of season 1, “Masquerade.”
