Season 1 Review: Chucky walks a fascinating tonal tightrope as a funny, absurd series that engenders sympathy as well as shock for characters who are more than worthy of our derision. It creates a world of malleable, alienated kids failed to varying degrees by their parents, and then it expresses the danger of what they find once they’re pushed away. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Like Starz’s similarly lighthearted Ash vs Evil Dead, Chucky works because it’s reverential and yet not consumed with rehashing that which came before. It won’t win over many new converts, but anyone with a soft spot for the cheery maniac doll will no doubt get a kick out of his latest reign of terror. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Just two episodes were provided for critics pre-air, but already Chucky is telling an interesting, somewhat cohesive story built on the franchise’s strong points. Season two is unlikely to draw many new fans, but for the faithful, one of the best spooky shows on TV has stepped up its game. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There are hints that Syfy and USA’s Chucky might eventually get into the twisty and bizarrely meta world of the extended Child’s Play universe (I truly didn’t know that a movie called Cult of Chucky existed). But through the four episodes sent to critics, it tends, agreeably, toward the simple side of things. ... Honestly, anybody tuning in to Chucky is there for the doll. In that respect, the series delivers solidly. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The soapy humdrum of these stock characters’ lives is of negative interest and the show only predictably comes crashing to life when Chucky, still manically voiced by Brad Dourif, is wreaking havoc. Read full review

If you're a Child's Play than you owe yourself to check it out. Yes the main character is gay; so is the creator of Chucky and it was clearly important to him.

Ignore all the comments saying its too woke. The show was written by Don Mancini, an openly gay guy. In this show he expresses his experiences as a gay person. If that is considered "pandering" or "being too woke" to you then you're an absolute moron. Just say you don't like gay people and go.

It amazes me how many people are fighting for Mancini's right to show off his childhood using his series.

The show itself is somewhat enjoyable, though there is a little bit too much over acting in the lead characters facial expressions, and let's see is a bit over the top with her mean girls impression. But ultimately it is entertaining. But disliking the let's find gay love perspective the way it's pushed so much in this series does tend to wear thin after a while, and if that makes me not work enough, or something stupid like that, it is what it is. People don't need this in their entertainment. Mancini can go do a book or a documentary if he truly wants to talk about her childhood, and honestly no one would really care. Hence the reason he does it in his Chucky series… Expand

This isn't a show about Chucky. It's a woke teenage drama just drenched in angst. It just happens to have Chucky in it. By the middle of S1 I was rooting for Chucky. I can't remember when last I've watched anything with so many characters that I not only didn't care about but just wanted toThis isn't a show about Chucky.

Light on horror and scares. If you're a Child's Play fan just skip this and enjoy the franchise as it is.… Expand

I heard a rumor that they were going to focus on the protagonist being gay. Unfortunately, that was a true statement, instead of being about a killer doll, it was about a gay kid being bullied with a crazy doll in the background. Bad first episode.
