Knuckles

Sad addition to sonic universe. Comedy is quite bad in general. Knuckles keeps his warrior attitude, but that's it, nothing more. After first episode he is mostly childish sidekick to Wade.

Whole thing is like bad Home alone copy. Maybe even more cheesy. Story line is so boring and has no meaning or development at all. Villains are also so dumb as they can be, on one point they are secret agents with next gen technologies on next they can't even get rid of one man who does literally nothing to fight them.

I don't understand why not to use comics as base to create already proven characters and world around them. Would not recommend to any sonic fun, only good thing is CGI in this show.

This show is stuck in this awkward spot where it looks great, but the show's reluctance to have any mature moments drag it down. Adults aren't allowed to be adults, and every line has me waiting to groan at a punchline. The villains are used for gags that ruin any sense of intimidation they could otherwise have had. The show has its great moments - the expressiveness of the characters is very fun to watch - but it's overshadowed by a reluctance to take itself seriously or respect its characters. The show focuses far more on Wade than the titular character, action scenes are inconsistent with how they use their powers and technology. While there are high points, overall it's generally disappointing.

Yeah, this is more the Wade Wipple show instead of Knuckles, but once the Echidna is on screen, it's gold. Idris Elba is spot on making this character take himself very seriously, which leads to some great comedy moments in episode 1. But the scenes with Wade, his family and the bowling tournament made it look like you're watching something else.

The sister character, Wanda is just too psychotoic to be in a Sonic show. SHE STABS HER BROTHER IN THE ARM WITH A FORK! Also she doesn't get punished for her behaviour. This scene got the show a 12 rating in the UK, also what if kids try to copy that scene?

Cary Elwes has fun playing the narcissist bowling champion, I thought the cup of tea in the bowling ball was funny, though.

Overall, an average show. Hopefully Sonic 3 will be better. Hopefully no one gets stabbed in the arm next time.

A better title would have been "Wade Whipple with occasional appearances by his friend Knuckles".

Not to say that it is a bad show. I actually liked a lot of of it and when Knuckles does appear he is pretty great. But, that has everything to do with Idris Elba because that dude is awesome. The guest stars are mostly good. My personal favorite was Julian Barratt of "The Mighty Boosh". However, Adam Pally, who is really the star of the show, kind of wears on you. I am all for the loveable lover, I am one myself, but after awhile his antics wear thin. There is a family subplot that was resolved in a pretty obvious way, but I still had fun with the show.

Before beginning watching the series I checked out this imdb page and read the comments. Many were complaining that the show focused on the Wade Whipple character too much. I mean Knuckles and Wade team up in this movie, so Wade is the human focal point of the series, but Knuckles is always there and part of the storyline. After watching I can't say that I agree with those complaining about this aspect of the show, if you haven't watched it yet then I wouldn't let that stop you.

My 5 -year old daughter loves this show, even requesting watching it unprompted. It's probably one of those shows I would never watch by myself, but watching it with my kids is great! I hope they make more, even if they focus on other supporting Sonic characters ...
