 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here This would be the spoiler-free review for Chucky season two now I've only seen the first few episodes of my few I mean I've seen episodes one through three It was almost four, but I didn't act quick enough before that was taken from me So Chucky season two is again revolved around Chucky targeting the kids the teens that we met now love in season one Along with his ex Tiffany so after his diabolical plan to invade America's children hospitals was foiled in season one Chucky now seeks revenge on those he holds responsible They're surviving teens of Jake Devin and Lexi along with his ex Tiffany who is now his sworn enemy now So far I would say Chucky season two is on its way to being better than season one for me the arcs for Lexi Devin and Jake Hell I'll say even Chucky. They're just a lot more interesting this season Mainly because again with season one you spend a good amount of time letting us grow connected to these characters Versus having them as side pieces while we focused on our legacy cast now there are Now since they are known and established characters in the universe what season two was able to do it plays around with that by balancing between The teens and then our legacy stars like Tiffany and Nika primarily Lexi Devin and Jake are all sent to this school called incarnate lord to atone for their sins after a horrible accident occurs Early on in the season and then also early on you'll learn Jake is in a foster family now So there's your child's play to not in this season is jam-packed with nods in Easter Egg just like the last one There's even some meta aspects and nods to I would say scream and when a stranger calls So he's diamond senior still keeping all of that here in live and alive and well with season two Devin and Jake's relationship is pretty rocky due to their distances becoming a problem Lexi is now drowning out her anxiety from season One through boys and drug addiction mostly when the series shifts to Tiffany's life We get more context on what has happened after the events of culture Chucky and how Nika's life has been a complete mess since then The writing this season seems to also be pulling back more layers to Lexi's character This will make more sense in the first few episodes when you see her life at incarnate lord with the boys because she is developed a lot More interestingly so far compared to Devin and Jake so Riding overall is just delivering more compelling storytelling more compelling storytelling this season because well game What happens is once your newbie characters are established and you're able to get your audience invested in them Now you can play with that by presenting the characters with more difficult challenges to overcome And that's what Chucky season two is doing so far drug addiction and relationship drama Of course isn't something only teens deal with but the young adult format of the series is Effectively still incorporating more teenage struggles for these kids as they age while still of course being about Chucky and his To destroy them all plus Tiffany including in all of this Season one I would say was Jake and Devin struggles to come out dealing with that dealing with bullies Copying after the death of a loved one for Jake, etc Season two is Jake and Devin fighting to keep their relationship afloat with religion out thrown into the mix coping with the loss of Their relatives since we know that grew towards the end of season one Also dealing with Lexi overcoming her drug addiction and just more bullying So there seems to be an anonymous shot caller this season as well that's being hyped up regarding Chucky And what's going on there with him and his connection to incarnate Lord? So these details what season two's narrative is making it more compelling similar to season one It's clear they're separate arcs that will collide into one big explosion in the end and so far I fear that the results this time will blow season one out of the water and it'll just be a Phenomenal season compared to season one when we go back and revisit this series down the road I wouldn't be shocked again if this season ends up being considered like the child's play two of the TV series I find the pacing in the dialogue to be a lot better this season as well I will say that Chucky's bit from the trailer about having more kills and someone has insta followers It does feel very in line with his character when you go back and rewatch this series You can see Chucky has always tried to talk to a Demet graphic he's targeting by using language They could relate to of course at times it's intentionally of offensive as well But also that's that's just the nature of Chucky Although I will say that the insta followers line is perhaps the most cringy because like consider these these lines Even something as simple as we're friends to the end saying that to a six-year-old or Chucky's gonna be a bro in reference to Into invading the body of Tyler who we know is black although again the insta line is the cringiest Performance wise Olivia is still tearing the others apart as far as I can see She captures the anxiety and Lexi so well You have Tilly who is shining as Tiffany Who's desperation teams at the end of season one is just in full effect now as she tries to keep her glamorous life Is Jennifer Tilly intact while trying to avoid Chucky and maybe possibly starting a relationship with nika as well So you know that was talked about by her in season one Watching Tilly's energy in the role has always been a pleasure and season two just continues to demonstrate Why her character is a lovable maniac Zachary I know for a lot of people he was lacking in season one I can say he's an improvement this season for anyone out there who couldn't stand him I think he's doing much better as jake the delivery is more convincing and I find that he's now more effective at displaying jake's emotions Gore is still a plus as it should be you won't have to wait long before you see someone get there Throat slit head blown off or even have their chest obliterated Although I've only seen a few episodes I can't say that season two so far as topping season one in the gore department just yet Chucky season two continues to Continues the great practical effects from the first season because I know personally for me After watching curse of chucky and all that CGI use that made me so eager to see more practical work again with the doll And season two continues to deliver that just like how season one was You won't have to wait long before you get to see glen and glinda and I again will say even though many of us Probably would have liked this series to start on the legacy characters Season two seems to be doing a much better job at balancing a narrative between them And now with our with our established trio of teams that we're invested in The television format for this universe is working and although I didn't get to watch episode four I will say that that fourth episode i'm told is a prime example of why this format is working for this universe Because episode four is a tiffany centric episode and you will apparently get to catch up with her glen and glinda I guess learn whatever they've been through Uh and that also might be the episode in particular where that audition tape is relevant I know I did a video talking about an audition tape for season two as well Episode four is also going to have a big shock. So if you want to note that and get excited for episode four I'm telling you right now. There's a big shock. Yes. I know what it is I just didn't get to see the episode so far. Chucky season two again for me It's on the verge if it continues like this to being better than season one I just need more gore And that's really it. I just need more gore It's on its way to being better than the first season And it's not really that hard to understand why because they've done a good job with that first season at establishing A group of teams to grow it invested in now They're playing with those teams as well as our legacy cast that we all know and love while still reintroducing characters like glen and glinda But let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you had already of course make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications that you never miss video in the description I will have links to all my social media accounts.
