The writing is quite bad. Very on the nose, unrealistic dialogue and nonsensical characters. When you believe the living doll more than how the characters behave or what they say... it's not very good. The violence is classic chucky. CreativeThe writing is quite bad. Very on the nose, unrealistic dialogue and nonsensical characters. When you believe the living doll more than how the characters behave or what they say... it's not very good. The violence is classic chucky. Creative and dumb (but in a good way). The elephant in the room is obviously all the pandering. In a 45 minute episode at least 30 minutes were spent just pandering to lgbtq people. They aren't even the core demographic so why bend the script in that direction? It felt so forced and off putting. Can we just have ONE show that isn't all about virtue signalling? Expand

My god this was a horrible pilot episode. It felt like a very low budget cringed cheesey old film. The acting was just good aweful. Then they had to spend 85% of the episode pandering to the lgbqt community. I’m not lieing when I sayMy god this was a horrible pilot episode. It felt like a very low budget cringed cheesey old film. The acting was just good aweful. Then they had to spend 85% of the episode pandering to the lgbqt community. I’m not lieing when I say most of the episode focused solely on overboard bullying and this kids sexual orientation. Please don’t waste your time. This show is terrible. The only good thing from it was the 3 or so minutes of time dedicated to chucky being evil. Chucky was very creepy and voiced well but the terrible camera work and pandering made this unwatchable. You would think but the way the film was shot you were watching a 90s movie. Don’t waste your time, you’ll thank me later. Expand

sigh... where to begin? Right away, I will tell you, the pilot did not impress me, in fact, it actually felt like I am watching a cheesy fan film with horrible acting and poor dialogue.

Right away, I will tell you, the pilot did not impress me, in fact, it actually felt like I am watching a cheesy fan film with horrible acting and poor dialogue. What happened to the cult classic Chucky? A doll that gave you nightmares, a doll that slowly messed with your head, making you think that the main hero was actually the killer all along, but instead, now we have a cheesy series about a boy who is struggling with himself because he is gay (the "bullies" don't sound anything like people do in the real world, in here, it feels like a PSA for anti-bullying, so whenever someone would make fun of him, I would either cringe or laugh my ass off because of how poor the writing was) and doesn't focus on Chucky himself. It's as if he was kicked out of his own show and replaced with a PC cast. The lighting is decent and the photography is ok I guess, but I can't watch a movie with horrible writing, I just can't! When seeing the trailers, I didn't expect much from it, and after seeing the episode... I can't say I am surprised. Normally, TV shows always make their pilots the most interesting episode out of all to attract the most viewers, and safe to say, I now expect the rest of the show to be even more horrible! At the end, I can't tell if it was mostly the writers and directors fault, or the casts horrible acting, but I do know the people who filmed this did the best they could. So I won't leave on an extremely low note, and instead just leave it at a 2. 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.

So bad, woke is one thing but this is outta control , ruined any chance of making something worth watching, pure agenda driven trash, in case the creator is wondering 80% of the population isn’t gay. They destroyed the last few seasons ofSo bad, woke is one thing but this is outta control , ruined any chance of making something worth watching, pure agenda driven trash, in case the creator is wondering 80% of the population isn’t gay. They destroyed the last few seasons of shameless and now an 80s classic, RIP Chucky. The only reason this gets a 1 instead of 0 is they put in the iconic Chucky laugh. Expand

Cringe-worthy woke crap from the start. It's even in the music in episode 1. 15 minutes in and I'm already wanting to vomit from all the woke homosexual talk. And the kid is hispanic to boot and he is fantasizing about the black kid on theCringe-worthy woke crap from the start. It's even in the music in episode 1. 15 minutes in and I'm already wanting to vomit from all the woke homosexual talk. And the kid is hispanic to boot and he is fantasizing about the black kid on the bus. What kind of liberal agenda is this garbage? This isn't Chucky. This is woke america crap that will make you want to puke. Do yourselves a favor and watch the original movies, at least the first two. This is garbage. I'll give it 1 out of 10 just for the fact it has the legendary voice actor for Chucky from the originals. If the homosexual, bullied high school boy, doll playing woke crap keeps being the main focus then I won't even bother continuing to watch. This pilot episode is 95% about lgbtqapwefoiajflk crap and the acting is HORRIBLE. Writing is HORRIBLE. Seems completely fake and more like an ad for bullied kids, which would make sense if it it wasn't called Chucky. Sigh, stay away from this garbage pilot at least. If you can't see how liberal this trash is then you need to wake up and stop being blinded by media and politics. Expand

It should have set the scene for suspense and tension, but even the music makes it unwatchable. Pass on this one. Expand

Esta basura es peor que las películas desde El Hijo de Chucky en adelante y así hay gente que trata la película reboot como basura siendo infinitamente mejor que esta porquería.

It is a terrible show, the actors cannot act, the worst acting I have ever seen. The main reason I hate shows or movies starring kids, it's because they can't act. The story is meh, nothing great, kinda boring.

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 charactersThis 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 to die.

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