Chucky

"Chucky" is a very surprisingly enjoyable show. It's got all the things you'd want to see in a Child's Play show. With fun gore, quick pacing, and some surprisingly good messages. This show is heading in the right direction

Starting off with the good. The acting is really good. Everyone in the show plays the role either really well, or so over the top that it works for this source material. Of course Brad Dourif is great once again as Chucky. The show also has great pacing. The first episode moved very quickly. I also liked how funny the show was. There were quite a few jokes that made me laugh. And finally this show really incorporates great messages about, bullying, and LGBT. I think that's a very great thing to talk about, and it added some nuance to the characters

I have a few issues with the show. The style of the show while great, at times can get a little too much. And it kinda feels like they're struggling to balance that comedy, and horror. And finally I don't think it's necessary to retell Chucky's backstory.

But still aside from that "Chucky" is a really fun, and promising series with good acting, fast pacing, some great callbacks, and some really great messages that help the show feel more nuanced.

Apart from the awkward and strange acting of the new cast members, this holds up well to the movies. The teens are the worst part of this show. Cringeworthy performances all around. I took it off 2 stars for their terrible acting. The rest of the gang from the movies deliver everything I've come to expect from the Child's Play movies. Without them this wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

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...

Everyone who loved the first movies so much, lynched this production aimlessly.

This is ridiculous, because this show is better than most of the 'chucky' movies.

Moreover, Zachary Arthur has done a very good acting.

Old story, new perspective.

An above average production.

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.
