Honestly if the show didn't decide to rush to the "we must battle with Heaven" and just focused on Hell the season, we could have probably had time to explore that. The only sold soul we know the history about is Husk and all we know is he was an overlord that gambled all of the souls he owned and his own soul to Alastor.
Which by the way, even worst foreshadowing to the reveal than Vaggie. Like we should have gotten some hints before episode 4. But all we got was this one shot of Husk's shadow in the pilot episode when Vaggie was giving exposition on Alastor. Which might not even be canon because I don't know which state the pilot is to the story. Also Nifty is there so I guess she might have been an overlord as well? Get ready for that not to be answered since she is a straight woman and that means no exploration of her character.
Anyway, the pilot did achive more than the show on how truly chaotic Hell really is here. Besides the intro song, we also have a few instances of seeing what happens outside the hotel walls, and an entire turf war (which for the longest time I theorized that's how people would get souls). But for the show with eight episodes, we get...the first song of the season that shows the life of Hell. The world is so empty. Hellborns in Helluva Boss, the show that was once free on Youtube, feel more overpopulated than the Sinners in Hazbin Hotel...the show that should have been bigger in quality and quantity because it got picked up.
The idea that Hellborns are somehow spared in the exterminations will never not feel stupid to me. Besides the fact that angels should not care since they would view Hellborn even more sinful than Sinners and are most likely contributing to more people ending up in Hell, but just because they couldn't even tell the difference between them. They're not going to stop and ask, "Hey are you a Sinner or a Hellborn." They're going to kill right on the spot and only realize what they had killed depending on the color of blood that is being spilled on the floor.
