 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So this will be the spoiler free review for Chucky season 3 part 1 episodes 1 through 4, which will air beginning next month October So in this season in Chucky's unending thirst for power season 3 now sees Chucky ensconced with the most powerful family In the world America's first family inside the infamous walls of the White House How did Chucky wind up here? What in God's name does he want and how can Jake Devon and Lexie possibly get to Chucky inside the world's Most secure house all while balancing the pressures of romantic relationships and growing up Meanwhile, Tiffany faces a looming crisis of her own as the police close in on her for Jennifer Tilley's murderous rampage last season Now Chucky season 3 while I enjoyed it. I had fun with it It is the weakest of the of the three so far because again, this is only part 1 This season does not pick up where season 2 left off But it will indeed loop its way back to that moment during part 1 This was honestly just more of the same and that's a little disappointing because we were promised the most Scariest season yet and it did seem like we were heading in that direction and don't get me wrong You guys will have fun with this just as much as I did But even I was baffled by the writing decisions this season not in terms of the character development But in regards to my suspension of disbelief being pushed to the edge and that's ironic considering I'm watching a show about a killer doll that I would always love and adore Perhaps the most bizarre writing choices happen when Tiffany is in prison So you're going to get to see Tiffany in prison during this first volume And I mean as serious as prison should be Chucky makes it seem like a playground and you get one of the most wackiest Unserious sequences ever in this franchise the pacing is hit or miss for the most part But certain things did seem did seem overly long like a particular strangulation kill and the wacky occurrence at prison with Tiffany basically The chance to lean into terror like we were promised and be able to spend our short live But the wacky shenanigans get to breathe with no Restrictions Chucky's conflict this season is also completely absurd to me and slightly far-fetched Because it's tied to the voodoo for dummy's book and I was like wouldn't you have known about this possibility for years kind sir Given Charles is voodoo background. So I wasn't completely sold on this angle It's something Charles thought he'd never have to worry about is all I'd say But the tie into the White House was even more peculiar to me despite that this season does a great job Capturing a first family that presents themselves as flawless to the public and then behind closed doors We have secrets galore that the public would never know about you even have these jabs at Just the political climate. We are in today. It's nothing. That's leaning too far left It's nothing that's leaning too far right. It's right down the center Which lines up with some other details you will learn about the Collins family. That's all I will say we have in regards to the secrets we have Collins oldest son Grant who's doing drugs with one of the secret service members President Collins and First Lady Charlotte do drugs as well, but there's more secrets. You'll see when this season airs Definitely has a curse of Chucky vibes the very second the season starts But then it vanishes leaving us with another season that is just more camp less terror and while I enjoy the camp The child's play-fandomy was hoping Mancini would deliver on his word and so far we have not gotten that however a Specific fake-out sequence completely had me gagged and shattered my heart It was the most well-shot sequence in the season for me and I was completely Sold it was probably the highest dose of tension present this season and it completely shattered my heart until I found out It was a fake out Thank God for Lexi Devin and Jake because the Collins are nothing more than Unrelatable but interesting elites that while well-written they just are not the most likeable characters around So the season isn't relying solely on that family you get a healthy balance of the trio and the first family and yes guys The trio appear in every single episode Lexi Devin and Jake have all Have all cope with the Chucky madness in their own separate ways Taking a page out of Devin's book to be more specific But you'll find out what that means soon Devin and Jake are ready to have sex or so they think Caroline is present for this season Lexi is hunting for Caroline to find out where her sister is and of course miss Fairchild is back. You will see miss fairchild during this season part one and so is Nica Caroline's presence though over said is welcome once the narrative with her went even further into the land of absurdity that I was completely Appalled by this season Nika's revenge plan on Tiffany while reasonable was also underwhelming, but I should have known better I don't know why I was expecting anything too overly elaborate. It's quite simple and to the point what her revenge was Tiffany's material so far is entertaining But again, it just reached a level of absurdity. I couldn't get behind But the writing around her arc is not completely terrible in any way It's just definitely not capitalizing on some of the more compelling opportunities it has given her situation It leans into the camp and clownery more than anything The practical effects work with Chucky is phenomenal as always with the show and the cast delivers once again, too Jennifer Tilley still excels at playing the fierce deadly and highly desperate Tiffany Valentine Olivia Bajorvin and Zachary have wonderful chemistry as always and remain one of the strongest trios in the horror series In a horror series right now since do we got gutted by ghostface? Devon Sawa as much as his return should have been scrapped delivers another true performance As president Collins all the newcomers do a good job as well Sawa's Sawa's acting chops. They're undeniable. This just isn't an anthology show And I think we need to stop bringing him back at this point all in all it's not like the worst thing ever guys I again, I liked it for what it was. I did enjoy it. I had fun with it And I don't have a problem admitting that it is so far the weakest of the three seasons for me The cinematography was fine. I loved the callbacks to the child's play trilogy and the callbacks to Some of the stuff that we saw in the later entries. Yes, there are some cameos Massive ones. That's all I'll say the kills also are very gruesome One though in particular is a little too over the top It involves a umbrella being shoved down someone's throat, but you do get a lot of Throats being slit also one in particular two in particular I could argue felt like a callback to a kill at the end of the second child's play And the presto your dead moment from child's play three that I know everyone loves it was a very swift throat being slit Uh, well, it actually wasn't someone's throat being slitted with someone having their brains blown out But I digress you guys let me know what you think about this down in the comment section below right now I'm gonna have to give this season a 6.5 out of 10. I just think it's time for us to find that balance of teetering into the comedy slightly and the campaign is slightly while completely just the going back to the horrific roots of that first film and the doses of Curse of Chucky and just the other sequels that have the Horrific aspects that I think are sadly lacking in this season Let me know what you think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already, of course Make sure you subscribe turn on post notification and there's a video in the description.
