"Episode one of “Hell Gate City” is where the radio station aesthetic kicks in. If you aren’t listening carefully, it can take at least two playthroughs to grasp the humor. Each comedic bit is bouncing off the walls with puns and radio station jokes that often hit, but are so fast that there’s not enough time to appreciate them. It’s definitely a great bit. Once I finished the season finale, going back was a much better experience. It wasn’t without its faults, however. It’s like catching up with a story, getting your bearings only to start an entirely new story thread for a whole chapter. Whatever momentum was built is gone when you return. On their own, the story elements of Hell Gate City are all there. They’re just combined in a way to detracted from my overall enjoyment of the series."
