Hellbound has a really solid start and a good concept. The opening scene is captivating, suspenseful and exciting. However, I feel like the whole execution could have been better.
The 3 creatures that come to punish people really don't look scary and are actually really funny looking. So it's hard to take the scenes where they appear seriously. They probably tried to stay faithful to their original design but they should have thought of designing them differently given the CGI results.
Also, it became a little too much when they showed that the creatures could bring back someone to life and beat them up if they ended their life before their execution date. I literally rolled my eyes.
One thing that makes it hard for the show to really give you an immersive experience is that people really don't seem that amazed by this strange phenomenon. I mean sure, we see people screaming and running but after that, it seems like no big deal? The world would literally be going mad in real life.
Also it doesn't make much sense for a group of people to be going around beating people up if they truly believe that they should live a super righteous life in order to be closer to God and be spared from those creatures.
All in all, it's entertaining and I would still recommend to watch. But there are definitely a lot of point to work on or that could have been better.
