That there is continuity with this show that ties in all the movies is insane. Don Mancini, who wrote all the movies and the show, does a phenomenal job of writing his way out of every implausible web from the movies.
Favorite episode has a crazy meta quality, where the possessed, Jennifer, Tilly becomes part of a sort of quasi-intervention with Gina Guerschon, Joey pants, Meg, Tilly. Chucky like Jose like it’s a talk show or clip show or something. He’s got this wrestler chick with him. He says the Food Network is getting restless because he hasn’t killed anyone or used his 10 F bombs that he gets per episode. Cut to a clip of the wrestler on a podcast saying that she wants to be murdered by checkers. So Chucky starts stabbing her to death and saying fuck repeatedly.
Of course, you get Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky. Always love that guy. Kids include Zackary Arthur, Björgvin Arnarson, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and Teo Briones. Never really care about the kids. They further the plot, but the fun stuff is with the legacy characters. Mean girl storyline is weak. She goes from reality show terrible to being totally one of the gang with no arch or anything.
Hilarious part when the priest calls the Vatican and tells them what is going on and that he needs assistance for an exorcism on a Chucky doll. You get his said and says stuff like, “yes, of course, I understand.” Then he hangs up the phone and says, “I've been excommunicated,” all with extreme calm.
Overall, it's fun for the casual watcher of these films, and incredible for the fans. Both seasons boast a solid 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. The humor is creative, the horror absurd, the performances solid, and just a great time. All this while keeping the essence and continuity of the franchise alive. Plus, there is a “Little Buff Boy” Chucky that is hilarious.
