At the recommendation of a family member, I finally checked this Show out.
Naturally, I start watching it once it is cancelled. Oy.
This is the first Season of...
He's openly gay and is into making Art out of dolls.
He finds a 'vintage' Good Guy doll to use for his sculpture, but it won't come apart.
With his drunk Dad at home, he can't keep it there, so...
He soon learns that Chucky is alive and has been in hiding since the events of Cult of Chucky (I guess I need to see that one, eh).
He tries to get Jake to kill for him, 'earning' that by killing his Dad with a loose wire.
Jake is antagonized by his classmate Lexy, who is also dating his Cousin.
He tries to resist Chucky's push to kill, while also trying to get anyone to believe him.
Somehow Chucky has killed people since 1988 and nobody believes it.
The Season is 8 Episodes long and I won't recap it all.
I'll give you a brief summary to end this though...
A fiery dance party.
Death in the Hospital.
Old(er) faces from the past Films.
To see it how it plays out stream it now.
A Show that is a must-see for fans of the Franchise.
I've never hated the Films (like, say, Hostel), but I've also never been a huge fan of it.
Did it win me over?
Kind of. I liked the Show's Story, connecting with Jake and his friends. I wanted to see them win.
Dourif, as always, is great as Chucky. I was less of a fan of watching him dub over someone who looks like Tommy Wiseau that was supposed to be him from 1988.
The returning Characters was a nice thing. As someone who didn't watch Cult of Chucky, I was definitely missing some details.
The new additions to Chucky lore were good, but a bit weird. Things don't get explained super well. When they resort to the 'it is magic, we don't have to explain it' thing, you know something is a bit off.
The Show is also pretty gory at times, so be warned.
With all that said, I'm curious to see how it all plays out in the next 2 Seasons, regardless of how USA treated it...
A Show that has renewed my interest in the Chucky Franchise. Let's see where it goes from here.
