That's the one thing I'm really, really not feeling. Like, I get it's really hip to introduce some bitchy rich girl character and then make her a protagonist - it's only been done in a million other teen shows - but like...she dressed up as someone's dad and mocked their horrific death. No "her mom is slightly rude to her!" Freudian bullshit is gonna excuse that. She needs to go. Something is also definitely up with Lexi's Sister... I'm predicting her sister goes psycho. Chucky tried to convert the main kid to killing, and we got those flashbacks to child Chucky becoming a killer. It's all gotta add up to something.

So, the actor who plays Lexy's dad is the same actor who played the doctor/psychologist in Cult of Chucky. Any idea where they're going with that?

I haven't caught up with the most recent episode yet either, but I've annoyed the first two for the most part. It feels more like a reboot/remake than a continuation at this point, but they've peppered in a few references like the phone call that main kid got in the first episode and Chucky mentioning that he had a kid. I guess as it progresses we may see some of the ideas of the last movie pay off. If they don't bring Fiona Dourif and Jennifer Tilly in soon I'd be surprised. Not sure if you are caught up but your wish is granted in the last episode... Very cool who they cast to play Charles Lee Ray in the 80's . I'm enjoying the flashbacks to his origins as well. The "redemption" arc of Lexi is pretty corny... Hoping they'll be some payoff with Junior otherwise he's not really doing much. I haven't caught up with the most recent episode yet, but I figured it was gonna get there soon. I also don't know that it's exactly what I was wishing for since I didn't particularly care for the last two movies, but this series has been decent enough so far l and I knew it was coming. I think it's established the new characters and setting enough that it's earned its right to start reaching backward at this stage, so I'll keep going with it.

This show is really entertaining me. Burned face chucky is a great look, one of the better ones.

Not sure how I feel about that last character development.

Glad there is a season 2 coming. Is it a very good show, no, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Finally finished the last 2 episodes. It's an entertaining series, and I'll keep watching, but not much makes sense. It balances the tone well enough to pull it off, but the whole splintering into different dolls, people, etc. is kind of a mess. Jennifer Tilly plays herself, Tiffany, and the doll, and there's no logic involved. And the flashbacks are so poorly dubbed. Jennifer Tilly's voice coming out of that dainty little lady is absurd. And as much as I like Fiona Dourif, the prosthetics and makeup to make her look like a man really don't work. No matter the suit and tie you dress her in it still doesn't cover up her clearly female figure.
And the young cast is all pretty lame. The main kid is not a good actor. Most of the best actors have been killed off already, and some of the character turns don't make sense. The main kid's cousin turning violent was kind of out of nowhere, and there was a devastating explosion that killed everyone, except that apparently it killed nobody at all.
Anyway, it's kind of a fun show, and the production values are actually really good. It's good looking and it's entertaining, but it takes some dumb turns.

Anyway, it's kind of a fun show, and the production values are actually really good. It's good looking and it's entertaining, but it takes some dumb turns. I actually had no idea that was Fiona or a woman in general as the young Charles. I also think all of the child actors are good, if not the writing. Unfortunately, I have to agree with everything else. The show started good, progressively weakened, and ended with disappointment. Will Andy ever do anything but show up at the last minute? Will Nica ever do anything but suffer cruel humiliation? If Tiffany is done with Chucky, why is she still helping him in the truck/theater scheme? How does getting stabbed in the taint through a seat instantly kill you? The show also accomplished one of the worst Redemption Arcs AND one of the worst Turning Evil Arcs I've ever seen, on the same show. Lexie is mocking people's parents dying and outing them at school, has a run-in with Chucky, and now she's best friends with her victims just like that? Junior's dad was kind of a dick but overall one of the least bad parents on the show, Junior decides to be a serial killer when he thinks his dad was having an affair which lead to his mother's suicide, then asks no questions when a killer doll shows up along with the woman his dad was supposedly having an affair with? Eh.

I guess no one talked aout season 2 but I recall thinking it was okay. It was surprisingly nice to see Glen/da again. I wonder if they'll have the balls to ever bring back Tyler from Child's Play 3.
Season 3 has entered a whole new level of ridiculous. Chucky Takes The White House. Devon Sawa as the President of the United States...lmao. "You don't keep the governor of Rhode Island waiting!"

I wasn't too crazy about Season 2 and the "good" version.... The Kids are getting stale. I probably wouldn't mind if they moved on from them. I loved the Tiffany and Meg Tilly episode.
I just started Season 3. And I'm probably going to wait to binge it all. But yeah... Still bored with the Kids. For me Season 1 was better.

Totally agree on the kids, and it feels like the show is really struggling to find ways to keep bringing them into the story. Chucky is messing with the POTUS, so doesn't he have bigger fish to fry than some suburban kids from Joysey? And Lexie trying to find her sister by doing "thirst trap" videos where she dances like a spaz and then goes "hey, my sister is missing and a killer doll is responsible"...wut

I keep waiting for each season to come to DVD to watch the show, since I didn't have the channel to watch it on. And I don't know if there are many here watching it anyway to engage discussion.
But yeah, the show is decent so far, though I liked S1 better than 2. Really wish they utilized Andy and Kyle better, I feel that the three kids are just along for the ride at this point. Chucky in the White House could be home for a lot of amusing moments.
