Shudder Day: Chucky- Season 2

A longer turnaround here, but I did have to watch EIGHT Episode of TV for this one.

Cut me some slack, won't you?

Let's check out the 2nd Season of Don Mancini's Show...

As the 1st Season ended, we had a small army of Chuckies, kids in peril and the Lead from the original Film back to stop the dolls.

A big crash!
What happens next?!?
At least one Chucky survives, managing to get our Heroes back together to target them.

A big gambit.
An explosion.

They all survive, but now end up in a Catholic Reform Academy- that or Juvie!
Chucky is sneaking around the campus and takes out a Priest.

Meanwhile, they make a new friend, who just happens to be a bit off.
Is she the best thing for them right now though?

Meanwhile, we get a whole Side Episode about how Tiffany is in Jennifer Tilly's body with some big Guest Stars.
Our Heroes are fighting against a system at the School- led by the Head Priest- that doesn't believe them.

Oh, and said Priest is Devon Saw in his third Role in the Show (after playing our Hero's Dad and Uncle).

Speaking of multiple Roles, how many different Chucky types are there?!?
Notably, one of the Chucky doll is super jacked and somehow super strong.

Back in 1998, Chucky called out Rick Steiner for attacking his brother Scott before Halloween Havoc, saying that Scott would be the Star in his next Project.
Scott was super jacked as Big Poppa Pump.

Are we finally getting payoff to this after 24 years?
FYI he also met Rick's Son (as promotion for this Season) and he was less than impressed.

The whole Season builds to a climax in the Church.

Can they finally be free of Chucky?
Well, there's a Season 3...
Regardless, this is a Season that Chucky fans are...bound to love.

Thank you!
Try the fish.
A Season full of Drama, murder, intrigue, more murder and misdirection.

As I stated last time, I didn't love *every* choice made in the last Season.
That does carry over to this one, of course, as the Characters deal with said choices/actions.

The change in Setting here works nicely.  The new Environment brings new Characters, freshens things up and allows for plenty of mayhem.

Is this Season a little sacrilegious?
Is the Pope Catholic?!?

The new Characters are mostly great, with some being more one-note than others.

As I also stated in the last Review, I wasn't 100% up to date on some of the Chucky lore, but the Show helpfully fills *most* of that in.

My only major critique is that I'm wondering how many times you can pull the 'Chucky is dead for good' card and it keep working.  
We'll see, Season 3.

Speaking of which, I'm going to take a short break from the Show.  Otherwise, watching said Season will feel like this...

Another good Season that really rewards fans of the deeper Child's Play lore.  If that's not you, just enjoy the mayhem!
