A contest in lying. Well made, and it trains the skill. Leave it.

The review

The faithful have to notice the tell. The traitors have to be charming while they nominate a friend for elimination. The show is honest about the mechanic and dishonest about the cost, because the cost is the entertainment. A house that watches this for the cleverness is practicing the cleverness.

Adults can see it as a parlor game. Do not put it on as a family hour and then wonder why the children enjoy a setup. The prize is money. The method is betrayal performed for a crowd.

The eight

Industry
3/10
No job but the game. The work is the performance of innocence.
Household
1/10
Friendship is the material. It is spent.
Piety
1/10
Nothing is revered. A chapel would be a set.
Courage
4/10
They risk the money and the embarrassment. Not a duty.
Republic
2/10
A group that votes is not a town. It is a jury with a prize.
Temperance
3/10
Greed is the announced motive, and it is not questioned.
Truth
1/10
The lie is the talent. The faithful are the punchline when they trust.
Stewardship
1/10
Nothing is left but the winner and a clip.

Live historicallyPlay one game with your people in which the lie is not the point.

Hazbin Hotel

20It will not make you better.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.

Damnation as a fandom. Bright, filthy, and a neighbor of the cartoons. Not for thirteen, and not a satire that saves itself.

The review

Charlie's hotel is an old and serious idea — that a soul might change — dressed so that the idea cannot be heard. Prime has placed it in the row with Invincible and a kids' shelf one swipe away. The songs travel. The contempt for the very notion of reform travels with them.

If it is already a favorite, do not confiscate a phone in silence. Watch a song together and ask whether anyone in the hotel is actually sorry, or only sorry they got caught being boring.

The eight

Industry
3/10
A project, of a kind: she is trying to run the hotel. The hotel is a bit.
Household
2/10
Found family in hell. The word family is doing too much.
Piety
1/10
Redemption is the premise and the punchline.
Courage
3/10
She persists. The persistence is into a joke.
Republic
2/10
Hell as a nightlife district.
Temperance
1/10
Sex, gore, and a song about both.
Truth
3/10
It claims to care whether a soul can change. Watch what it lingers on.
Stewardship
1/10
A child who likes musicals will be recruited. That is the risk on this row.

Live historicallyTalk about repentance as a real event, with an example that is not a cartoon.
