People start getting prophecies about when they will die, they are "bound to hell", soon enough many groups start to be interested in unfortunate souls that got said prophecy. For some it's a witch hunt "they are sinners, that did awful things! Thus we can violate them" for others it's a money-making machine. Imagine selling the VIP seats to rich folk to witness how other-worldly beings decapitate the sinner. Imagine live-streaming said death and not be frowned upon for doing so, because it was "god's will". Would you watch such live streams? Would you abuse those that presumably did awful things? Are you the one that tries to justify bad/good things as god's will or fate?

Violence is what we enjoy watching. There's plenty of violence in "Hellbound", long scenes, bloody, almost intimate. We are the audience that is checking out live streams of judgment day. The violence in the series is utilized as a theme, for viewers to question their taste. Is violence entertainment? what emotions do I feel when I witness such acts on screen?

This show is for those, that enjoy analyzing the subtext which series provides. I don't think that religious folk would enjoy this series as much because the belief of hell and sin are flipped in this series and left ambiguous. (but if one is aware of religious (mostly Christian) texts then it provides interesting subtext)

The acting was great as always, the emotions were raw, some characters were hateable, and in general, it was a job well done.

Rewatch value is there, because once one knows characters' motivations, one can see their actions in a different light.

SPOILER: I'm excited for season 2 because it feels like they are following the "reborn" theme, which will be even more exciting!
