Stolas is the Worst. (Helluva Boss)

Overall Criticism

The reviewer argues that the first seven episodes of Helluva Boss Season 3 undo the progress made earlier in the season. They feel the show restores the old Stolas-on-top/Blitz-on-the-bottom dynamic and leaves Blitz taking most of the emotional punishment.

Stolas and Octavia

The reviewer’s main criticism is directed at Stolas. They object that he seems to move on with Verosika with little visible hesitation, despite recently agreeing to try to make things work with Blitz.

They also criticize how quickly Octavia forgives Stolas. While they consider the forgiveness understandable for her character, they feel it rushes the payoff to a conflict that could have developed over an entire season. In their view, Stolas is treated with “kid gloves”: after being humiliated for a while, he quickly gets a new boyfriend, his former lifestyle, and a repaired relationship with his daughter.

Episode Seven’s Song

The song in episode seven receives a mixed review. The reviewer praises its catchy music and melody, calling it a proper musical number, but describes the lyrics as generic and overly literal.

They also feel the song resolves Octavia and Stolas’s conflict before the episode builds enough tension to make the reconciliation cathartic.

Episodes Six and Seven

Episode six, featuring Blitz and Fizz, is described as well-made and enjoyable on its own. However, the reviewer questions why it takes up space so late in the season, given that Fizz has already received substantial focus.

Episode seven brings back Striker and Barbie, but the reviewer finds their roles largely unimportant. Barbie leaving Blitz mainly serves to make him spiral further. Overall, the reviewer sees both episodes as more ways to drag Blitz down without adding much to the larger story.

Pacing

The reviewer says episodes five through seven seem designed to have long gaps between them, but episodes six and seven arrived together. This makes Stolas’s new relationship feel abrupt and skips over drama that could have explored whether he was truly ready to move on.

Notable Jokes and Reactions

• The video opens with the chant “Stolas, expose him.”
• The reviewer compares Stolas unfavorably to characters from Rebel Moon and Rent-A-Girlfriend.
• They mock the episodes as “reheated nachos” and “torture porn for Blitz.”
• The reviewer pauses to ask viewers to subscribe, joking that nothing important is happening onscreen.
• At the end, they sarcastically pretend to be grateful that someone asked about Octavia’s first words, then deliver the punchline: “Oh, mama.”
