I’ve been seeing posts about the “Chucky” show for a few months on reddit. I always enjoyed the movies, hell I even liked the cheaper direct to dvd ones that happened. So last Friday I decided to give it a shot on Peacock. Gotta say the show is damn good. Its a direct sequel to the last Chucky movie “Cult of Chucky” and it references pretty much all of the films. Don Mancini, The creator of the character and writer of pretty much all of the movies, is deeply involved. Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly are very involved with the show. Devon Sawa is really good in this as well. Also Fiona Dourif does such a good impression of her dad its a little scary.
The story for the first season starts like a normal Chucky movie, kid finds a doll and shit starts happening but then around the halfway point of a traditional Chucky story everything just starts spiraling out of control and it starts to become a completely different thing. Then multiple characters from the films show up and it goes even nuttier. I literally didn’t expect a TV show to go this hardcore but its damn near rated R. The death scenes are pretty violent and Chucky curses like a sailor. I also really like the puppetry for the doll, they have a pretty good team of people working on Chucky and there’s some really cool shots of him that I believe are 100% animatronic. It’s also really funny.
So anyway, if your a fan of the Chucky films you should check this show out. There’s three seasons on Peacock, im not sure if its available anywhere else.
