Chucky

I'm going to leave an honest review here. This series started out fantastic the cast was good, the concept was great and I really appreciated the return of virtually all the original movie cast reprising their roles. Season one is what got me hooked it was very good. Season two was good but started to falter towards the end it would have been much better without that Christmas episode. Then there was Season three. I don't know what happened there, wether they changed writers or lost their way is hard to say. The whole Whitehouse idea was really stupid and ruined the whole thing. I don't understand why they took that direction Season three is why the show wasn't renewed it was such a bad end to a show that started out great. In closing I will suggest watching the series but end it at Season two because it concluded the story reasonably without getting ridiculous.

I never knew that this show was on tv. Again I have to say that bad promotions on horror shows will do that. I was curious about this show when I saw a clip of it on youtube. Now I am hooked. I never thought a tv show about a creepy doll would work well in tv. But this show is really good. I also find it very funny that Jennifer Tilly is in this show acting as Tiffany and acting as her self. I find it very clever. Also I like that each season to different story lines. I also enjoy the music it can sound haunting or sad but it puts the mood in each episode of the different story time lines. I am very happy watching this show.

3 episodes in and I'm probably about to give up on this honestly. Started ok with a first episode that's enjoyable. And the doll looks great in general, but it's been almost unwatchable after that pilot. Other than being tame for TV, it's just downright boring most of the time. Some episodes even have zero or maybe 1 kill in them and consist of just people talking. When they do die, it's mostly just random side character who was introduced 5 mins ago usually.

The gore is neutered, chuckys plan makes no sense (why is he helping this kid at all or trying to get him to kill people - he gets busted and chucky is in an evidence locker sooo...?), the characters are so over the top as to not even belong in reality, it's clearly some old man trying to write dialogue for current teenage characters, they forced Dourif's daughter into a character for some reason even though she's awful and couldn't save the series in those mediocre cult or curse movies, etc.

This is basically just trying to get tweens into the child's play franchise, and I don't know why. It's all the worst parts of curse and cult of chucky thrown together with some CW type garbage, and made boring and episodic for mainstream TV.

The less said about the editing the better. Episode 2 was seriously hard to follow because obviously scenes were cut to fit into the hour time slot - stuff made no sense and we were constantly wondering if we had missed a scene somehow. But no, it was just legitimately that poorly put together.

If you want to see a teenage drama TV show with little sprinklings of a chucky doll cursing here and there, this will fit the bill. Otherwise just skip this if you're a fan of the original movies...

The series bring the traditional nice, small town vibe with new narratives. Pretty impressed with the doll's comeback. Hope they don't rely on jump scares, fan service or nostalgia too much. Keep it fresh, relevant, gore and smart! Go Chucky!

After the star studded but off brand reboot, it's great to have our actual chucky back with the creators and some original cast back too. It's weird how the show goes from cheesy to serious but chucky as an anti hero is a great take. The humor was always the most important part to me and I'm glad it's still intact. Also nick's touch can be seen in it too but not so heavy handedly.
