Okay So I Watched The New Episode. Season Three Spoilers!

okay so I watched the new episode. Season three spoilers!

As someone who’s been a huge fan of Chucky as a franchise for years now: the franchise is dying. I’ve been thinking it since the beginning of season three but this is what happens when a franchise goes on too long.

Season 1 and season 2 have something that season 3 lacks: likable supporting characters. Jake, Devon and Lexy are interesting on their own, but the supporting characters really make or break a tv series. In season one, we had the whole plot line with Junior and we had more of Miss Fairchild (I’m in mourning). Season 2, we had NADINE (NADINE ❤️❤️❤️) and we also had pretty interesting antagonists other than Chucky and Tiffany. Grant and Henry, I just can’t connect with very well. I sympathize with Grant, but I cannot stand Henry. Andy figured out this thing wasn’t an Angel sent by his dad in like a week. Why hasn’t Henry figured it out yet? It’s infuriating. The guy who’s always talking to the First Lady really is just pissing me off with his passiveness- it doesn’t help that we never see him in action. He reminds me of Mike Norris if he was uninteresting.

In seasons one and two, I was at least engaged with what was happening. I was following the stories because they were intriguing. I liked the characters and what they were doing. I just don’t feel the same way about season 3. This entire time I’ve been waiting for Tiffany, Nica or Andy and Kyle to show up (because they will eventually if we follow the formula).

I think my other issue with this season is the setting. The White House is kind of boring now since we see more of conversations than Chucky dicking around in the White House, other than that Devon Sawa kill (ranked number 3 now, that was pretty cool).

All of this being said- I still love this franchise and I’m so thankful we even got a television show. There are strong parts of season 3- Jake, Devon and Lexy actually have a strong bond now. Trauma bond, yeah, but they stand by each other and want to help each other achieve their goals. Jake and Devon are my favorite part of this season by far. There’s been some flack online about having those two have a storyline revolving around having sex, but they’re what? 16? 17? In this story? They’re curious, they’re teenagers.

Another part I like is everything with Tiffany. Literally all of it. I’m also enjoying Nica’s storyline, if it would go back to that. This season has a lot of cool settings that I wish were handled better, because Chucky in the White House is hilarious and interesting if it was done right.

For the short time we had her, Miss Fairchild was a highlight. She was hilarious and meaningful and I wish she hadn’t been killed off so early.

But these are just my thoughts- feel share to message me or comment here for discussions on it (please I need someone to talk to about Chucky)
