Don Mancini needs people around him to say “no”. Or people to help rework some things. This series is so derivative of other franchises now that it doesn’t stand on its own anymore. The horror days are looooong gone here too. Hard to believe people were ever afraid of Chucky now.
I hate the whole “this is the last Chucky” thing. They’ve done it so many times it’s just annoying. Like I’m okay if they really wanna use a bunch of Chuckys but don’t setup every Chucky as the last Chucky.

The thing is Mancini doesn't want to feel trapped in a straight Horror universe so he keeps trying to go crazy or campy with it. Some of that can work however when you do episode after episode of the same or similar type of gags it simply starts to feel played out.

If he doesn’t want to feel trapped by a genre than he should make a new franchise. Not turn a horror slasher icon into a great value Pete Davidson. This kind of stuff is what has kept the franchise from theatrical releases for two decades.

Well actually when you possess a human you take their voice, hence why you don’t have brad douriff voicing Nica/Dr. Mixer when they were Chucky. When you possess (or repossess) a lifeless object like a doll you keep (or regain) your original voice so it does kinda make sense that ”GG” would go back to their original voice once they possessed the doll again. The voices of the human Glen and Glenda basically belong to the twins Jennifer gave birth to in seed. But I do kinda get you on the accent since they’ve basically spoken with an American accent their whole HUMAN lives.

Because When you possess a human you take their voice. when you possess a lifeless object like a doll, the doll will have your original voice. Remember Chucky went into Nica and we did not have Brad Dourif voicing That version of Chucky again until he went back into a good guy doll last episode. However I can see the confusion considering glen and Glenda transfer their souls into babies in seed, so you would kind of think that they would subconsciously return to the doll with their American accents but I guess that rule doesn’t apply.

As soon as she punched in the combination. I Googled Child's Play 1988. TBH I didn't mind Glenn & Glenda as 2 separate people but I was disappointed when that damn doll came back. I'm hoping they bring back the actress that played Nadine next season as another character like the did Devon Sawa.
Also, the thing with Chucky being the Belle doll makes sense, they've more or less built it up since episode 1 that something was up with that doll, and if Dr. Mixter gave it to Caroline, then it makes more sense for it to be Chucky in disguise.

The sad thing is, we know he can write a good horror, but instead of writing a good horror story, he chooses to write a terrible comedy.
The tv series feels like what someone who hasn’t seen the chucky franchise assumes it is. Ridiculous, sloppy, and no rules.
i agree the characters get injured then stop selling it for 30 seconds. happened with andy and happened with jennifer this episode
Chucky was sneaking around the house with the World's Quietist Chainsaw! lmao
You were right on Cody. I enjoyed most of this season but this episode took things too far. The writing in the finale was just insulting. I feel like they throw crazy shit at the wall and just expect us to accept it. One of the only parts I liked about this finale was what they did with Glen and Glenda.

A loose end I hoped the Season 2 finale would resolve was who put the severed Tiffany doll's head in Tiffany's bed at the season's beginning. Was it Dr. Mixter? Was it Col. Chucky? How did the person get in to Jennifer Tilly's house, and why not kill her? I guess well' never know. 😢

Wait until season 3 lol. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be however It was fairly boring. And I have to give Mancini some credit for not taking shots at certain people. So thank you for that. On the other hand I don’t want to see kids making out and not because of the gay thing. Children shouldn’t be sexualized!!!
This episode lacked a lot in my opinion. Personally, I liked what they were doing with the human version of Glen/Glenda. But now that they’re back in the doll and going backed to England, it’s presumed that we won’t see them anymore? Or barely. Which was a waste imo. They could’ve did more or at least something different with them. Another problem I had was that they kept claiming that this was the “last” Chucky, then minutes later would introduce a new one and then do the same thing over. It just felt really unnecessary There were times where I could see an interesting plot line emerging, but then it just got tossed away. Felt like there was unnecessary filler throughout the season. Writing was over the place, way too meta. Season was ok, but the writing was just poor

Felt like the should've just wrote off Glen and Glenda with a verbal confirmation that they're in London rather than make them an engaging character worth keeping before writing them off anyway.
I did like the twist Chucky and Dr. Mixter plan all the events since season 1 in targeting Jake and his friends and I knew Chucky swapped bodies with Dr. Mixter cause the Chucky doll wasn't saying anything or one liners before getting shot but we all saw the body swapping thing coming.

Something I find confusing about it is: how did Chucky know beforehand that Andy's aim was good enough that the bullet would hit the Good Guy doll?

The one thing I wish they’d done was give more time and attention to new characters, and or story lines that were introduced. I know that a death had to happen, so Nadine dying was sensible, but I feel like we didn’t really get to know her aside from her helping Lexy through her problem. Also, I wish we got to know more about Dr. Mixter. We saw a very brief flashback, then we got nothing else about the backstory. I want to know more about her story, and see more of her past “relationship” with Charles.
You nailed it! I felt absolutely the same about this season!
My thoughts pretty much, the excuse "it's a killer doll show what do you expect" just doesn't cut it for me. So many plotlines in this season with no payoff, sloppy writing with no narrative of what it's trying to be, I don't get it. I mean we all know damn well Chucky ain't going nowhere but it's so unengaging when you make your villain a super genius who always has the upper hand, it just removes all stakes. It's so comical and not in the good way. I'm glad this show works for most people, I'm glad the franchise isn't dead, but it's doesn't mean it's always going to work.

There have been plenty of films, books, TV series, games and so on about the supernatural, sci fi stuff and the like where the logic and rules of the world they were set in were established and written well and made sense.

I feel as if season 3 is setting up Lexi to be the lead character. I feel like with character development and plot we got more from Lexi than Jake and Devon. And with this episode specifically Lexi really got her moment when she killed CHUCKY. Also since season 3 is setting up for Caroline to go the serial killer route I think think season 3 is going to be a lexi focused season. I think it’s really interesting that season one lexi was the most repulsive character and then in season two they mad her very like able and definitely had the most interesting storyline out of the main trio in season 2

Exactly my point, when the series own creator seem to hate his own product! What’s the point?! Don Mancini hates Chucky, he constantly makes a mockery out of it and plays it off as, “who cares it’s about a killer doll, it’s dumb anyways”. I’m done with this whole franchise. Don Mancini has ruined it for me. Thanks for your honest opinion Cody.
This episode felt like a parody of Chucky. It’s shit like this that I have to defend Chucky from when people judge me for obsessing over the series. “Chucky Actually” is what someone would write if they hated Chucky
Thanks for speaking for me and being honest! Don needs to stop!!!!! he’s trying to keep his friends employed and dragging the storyline that got us in the straight to dvd bin in the first place. This is my favorite horror franchise but I’m done. Season 3 is hopefully not happening and Chucky can rest! It’s Blumhouse Halloween all over again, we restarted to start a new only to end up where we started smh!
Sorry...but Don Mancini can't handle the TV format with this property. All the rules are out the window and it's a mess all around. I wish Universal would cancel the series give Chucky one final movie and just let the franchise go...cause unless you're a stoner with zip for actual intellectual expectation? This show is just fundamentally crap!

Personally, I can’t take the Chucky franchise seriously especially after Child’s Play 3. The series is campy horror, barley any stakes just chaos and fun. I’m also in the minority who really enjoys Seed of Chucky which means I really enjoyed Season 2 even though it was inferior to Season 1 but definitely a lot more chaotic and unpredictable while being incoherent with the plot at times. Overall, I give Season 2 a 7.8/10

Back in the day -Bride of Chucky, and most of the original films I think, all you had to do was have a piece of chucky possessed doll parts and you can put him back together. Then the heart thing. Now it has to be a certain doll like a Belle doll. Then more rules were taken and added. If it had to make sense, the story would have been over long ago. SO in other words, there will always be a way to bring back Chucky.
yeah I want them to take it more seriously and have a plot line that doesn't get solved in the same episode because its so gnarly

I feel like last week's episode could have and should have been the season finale with how it actually felt like one, to me anyway. This episode seemed to drag on without much of anything really happening until the final fifteen minutes or so like Cody said and the twist with Lexy's sister as well as Chucky having been the Belle doll were as if the writers through thoughts at a board, saw what stuck, and said "Lets do it!". Overall I enjoyed the season, and this is coming from someone who cites "Seed of Chucky" as the weakest if the franchise, but this finale really didn't do it for me. If anything, it almost felt like the opening to another season instead of a conclusion to one.
What ever happened to needing “the heart of dumbella” to switch bodies Like they may known in bride of chucky He needed the amulet to complete it
The original wedding Belle doll was given to Caroline was destroyed in the explosion in episode 1 That's probably when a Chucky took it's place
I look forward to your reviews specifically because u are honest!
Honestly it's a crazy season that sorta was Seed of Chucky rides again. But also heavily similar to A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 as well.
When watching the finale, I thought the switch of Chucky and Dr. Mixter was clever. Now that I think about it later, it doesn't make sense. How did Chucky know beforehand that Andy's aim was good enough to hit the Good Guy doll? Andy easily could've missed, with the bullet firing into the old lady instead. Then Chucky would've been killed by the bullets anyway.

I agree Cody that there where a lot of plot contravenes/conveniences this season and writing that was too meta for it's own good. But I still liked this season well enough (minus episode 4), as it's characters and it's kills continue to be engaging and entertaining.
your takes on this season were spot on
Yeah, I'm pretty bummed out about this season. If it was not for Nica, Andy, Kyle and just how much I've always loved Child's Play, I'd have stopped watching a few episodes ago. I wouldn't doubt if it gets canceled at this point honestly. Oh well, it was somewhat fun at least, lol.
I loved the pacing and storyline with cuts of Chucky's past in between, but this seasons pacing and storyline didn't feel very fluid, felt like there was too much going on all to be wrapped up with a cinch and I feel unsatisfied with what we got sadly.

Then, if Jake, Devon and Lexie were seemingly prepared for Chucky's return, why did they let the mom die ?! Couldn't they warn her or smth? And yes,the twist was still absurd. Overall, i think season 1 is better although i did like the second season to a point, i feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities. But it was still nice to see Chucky back!!!
As a nurse, the thing that drove me crazy the most in this episode was when Glen is in the hospital and the monitor is just showing an incoherent squiggly line like a patient who's coding. Why do tv shows always screw up the monitors? They could literally just use a real one for accuracy.

The problem with a real one is that you would need to alter the reading so it doesn't look like a normal heart rate for someone in a situation like that.

You should do a ranking of all the movies and the 2 seasons. I think that'll be interesting
I’ve completely fallen off with the show after the Jennifer Tilly/Tiffany “murder mystery” episode with all the guest stars. The show had no through line story & was aimless & having watched all your weekly reviews before & after I stopped watching, I’m glad I did. Couldn’t agree more with what you said about when a show loses an audience & it not getting to comeback. It shouldn’t get a 3rd season
Don Mancini is really out of good ideas at this point.
Yeah- this whole season was a roller coaster of emotions for me- but mostly feeling dread and confusion- Although I did find some parts a bit funny and may be interesting, other than that it just does not feel like Chucky, ya know???? Like I feel like this whole season was missing something like there was a lack of something. It’s like there’s a missing part of Chucky.. I wish we could have a mixture of him serious but could have lighter tones- Big part of why I love Chucky was his big personality- where he can be serious but Says the right lighthearted joke right there and then- ending up being very iconic lines something very rememberable- but the whole split up of Chucky’s It’s so all over the place I know Don always wanted to do that since child’s play two but of course didn’t have the budget for it- I just feel like it could’ve been written a lot more differently or have some ground rules or something interesting like for example Prime chucky-Prime Chucky he is the one we love and know- he probably found out a new spell and testing out by splitting his soul with one good guy doll- it works out however I feel like that one clone is splitting his soul into more good guys so the more clones the more it’s less Chucky because of the different personalities and the lack of a soul- Which would explain why all of the multiple Chuckys are so easy to kill because they are not the prime Chucky. So it would be nice if they explained the flaw of the spell having some sort of rules or complications The prime Chucky is the head that Andy kept and even though he is like literally a head, he was still alive- I know it seems that The head is dead but a gut feeling does tell me they might bring him back at some point probably do one of those put him back together sort of situation kind of similar to Frankenstein’s monster - because the “crumbs” in the woods that Lexi and Devon went , those were just pieces of dead Chuckys so perhaps somebody or something will put him back together if that’s the case it would definitely bring back the nostalgia of bribe of Chucky- however if they were to bring him back which is very low but very likely I really want him to be serious- I like the idea of chucky being just calm but more sinister making him a lot more threatening and scary because we don’t know his intentions most of the time- But of course there will be that off time he would say something funny but it’s light humour it’s nothing crazy - It would’ve been nice if there was a lot more rules- basically pros and cons to the situation- besides that everyone was done dirty this season-and I really hope in season three they would actually write everyone better and write the plot better but knowing Don I don’t know how that’s going to work 💔
Don Mancini must have also seen Hatchet 2. Another epic chainsaw split scene.
Well, this is what surrounding himself with only yes men for over 30 years gets us. Thanks Don Mancini.
i'm with you, man. there are too many twist that really werent set up naturally that feel like some exist to set up another twist/big reveal. though, i was curious to see where things would end but it just got too contrived and unearned.

The writers don't understand that unearned twist is bad. A good twist should be predictable if you're not distracted by the duality of a plot device. What does that mean? It means throwing hints that don't seem like hints until after a rewatch.
Don needs to go. I respect everything Don has done for this franchise, but after stomaching the terror of 2 season 2, his vision isn't what the franchise needs. Season 2 had the potential to be great, they could have followed up on the plotline of the 72 Chucky dolls, but nope, it was scrapped. This season introduced a new character or concept every other episode only to disregard it or scrap it the next episode. Chucky feels like an afterthought the majority of this season, his deaths are meaningless, and the whole idea of multiple Chucky's was executed poorly by Don. The Glen/da plot was rushed and was given a poor conclusion. I wouldn't be shocked if the show isn't renewed for a third season -- and why should it be? We got eight episodes of pure garbage that couldn't follow basic plot and structure every episode. How is Andy hobbing around on an untreated flesh wound? He's never received medical attention after being tortured for over a year and probably has gangrene in that leg. Nothing makes sense. This whole season made no sense.
Thank you for all of your honesty, Cody and suffering through this crazy season. I did not trust this season. I did not trust that it was going to go well, and I was right. I'm glad I made the decision to not watch this season---just watch your reviews of it----I'm sort of a Child's Play purest too. Anyhow, great work as always, Cody and Happy Thanksgiving.

I personally have felt that this season was as good as season 1, however, I’m glad that ur reviews have shown a different side of the argument
“Chucky Take Manhattan” but foreal
You could legit cut out every scene in the catholic school and nothing about the season would change. Every character we meet there of relavance is dead by the time we leave, and our main characters dont change at all. Literally a waste of time.
I agree with anything only good thing is we get a good ranking video
I personally loved the episode and the season, but I respect your opinion and can understand not caring for it
Don mancini just couldn’t help himself
Are we never going to find out how he ended up at the yard sale at the beginning of season 1?
Season should've just ended at Episode 7. They wrapped up a lot, and they could've kept the Mixter plot for next seasom
Bring in the Chucky 2019 reboot at this point!,,
Honestly I feel like ten years in the future they’re going to make a chucky movie that continues after the first 2 like the Halloween trilogy they did and I’m surprised they haven’t done it yet

Not so sure about that. Brad Dourif is getting up there in age. My theory is the franchise dies when Brad dies.
One of my "favorite" parts (as all "this is the last Chucky" thing) of the episode was when Jennifer Tilly/Tiffany broke into the Cross house at night and instead of simply asking her about what the hell she was doing in there or that she would call the police, Lexy's mother just started to apologize for the spoiled charity event and take photos for her Instagram. And she knew Tilly was wanted for murder. Such a reaction is too silly even for slasher movies.
It's interesting how the girl that plays Caroline is one of the best actors in the show, she's one of the best child actors I've seen on screen
