Yeah they tried to make us empathize with Lexi once she found out Chucky was sent to kill her. Nah she still deserves it.

You talking the closeup with the crazy eyes before the reveal?
As far as scary shots go, nothing for me can top the image of a burned Chucky towering over a fallen Andy with knife in hand. That low perspective of the camera just sells it.
I had Jake's hairstyle and my dad suddenly looked like the foster dad from Child's Play 2 but had his own voice. My partner was thier but had Kyle's hair and voice.
When I was escaped Mom Cop showed up to question me. And Tiffany was there too.
A trailer showed her being attacked by Chucky, don't know if she dies.
Cop surveying the house.
"Despite all this crime scene tape. I should be watching inside the house, not outside."
Sees flashlights coming in, "Eh. That's fine"
So glad Jake didn't kill her, yeah Lexi's a bitch but I don't want Jake going down that road.
Pretty sure another doll is already there
Finished the first episode. It was good.
The relationship between Jake and Chucky could be really interesting assuming it isn't dismantled in one season and Chucky tries to kill Jake and Jake spends the rest of the show fighting him off. You could actually do character stuff, like that they're already teasing flashbacks to Charles' past.
Some interesting character stuff you could do with Chucky for awhile before just going "oh we have to find and kill Chucky" which I don't think is something thats going to sustain this show for years. Then it just becames a really drawn out typical Childs Play movie.
Of course theres also magic (voodoo in any case) in this universe so they could some stuff with that aswell.

The opening of this episode is absurd. You're telling me Jake goes into a hospital and there's no angry mob chanting "evil dies tonight!?"
Didn't she already ask for that when she told them about that other kid?
Lol that ending
Don't they need to be present or something. And she didn't specify Jake.
You really think that's going to stop a cop? Until a parent (which he doesn't have) or a lawyer comes in to stop them, they don't give a shit and Jake is too traumatized to know to stay quiet.
That's weird. Usa network didn't show a preview. They had 6 minutes left but they went straight to law and order
The actress playing Lexy has been naggingly familiar and I just realized she's the younger sister of the girl from those Babysitter movies. They're practically identical.
After watching the first episode of this and loving it, I decided to go back and watch the film series largely because I hadn't seen the last few of them. And with the task now complete I really think, despite not holding any of the films in notably high regard, this is easily the best long-running horror franchise.
Most horror franchises have the 1 or 2 really good entries, maybe 1 or 2 more 'okay's if you're very lucky, and then junk for the rest. Even my beloved A Nightmare On Elm Street series largely coasts on the back of two films and becomes complete trash by the end.
But with Child's Play, there is really only a single film I didn't care for(part 3) and the rest were solid at worst, which is kind of a marvel. And my two favorites even ended up being the last two, which feels like a cinematic impossibility.

This show is amazing. That ending!
It flat out doesn't work without Lexy - the actress has a huge career ahead of her.
Detective mom interrogating Jake without a lawyer is fucking LOW and makes her come off as a scumbag cop.

Chucky gonna need a quick ade due demballa up in this piece.
I really hope Chucky Prime (the head that Andy keeps) comes back into stuff at some point.
Speaking of Andy. Imma need Andy, Nica-Chucky, Kyle and Tiffany to show up sooner rather than later. We're burning daylight here.

I think a lot of that is from the fact that the original creator has been involved through the whole series (outside the recent remake but that is its own thing), and it never had a reboot to muddle things continuity-wise even if there was a big swift in tone with Bride and Seed. It's really been allowed to progress and continue to build upon itself in a way almost no other horror IP has been able to
Another good episode. I was so wrong to doubt the television concept for the Chuckster.
Speculating, and I haven't seen the preview...

Chucky's gotta die soon, right? I'm thinking the kids kill him next episode since he's pretty much too far gone damage wise. That let's this first half of the season serve as sort of its own thing really, basically a standalone Child's Play sequel with an original cast. Maybe he's got another doll (unless Junior was just hallucinating). Although, I would prefer that if there is another that it was only recently woke up, so he doesn't lose that connection to the kids. It's not like Nica-Chucky or Chucky Prime (I dig that name whoever said it) know the kids, and I'd rather avoid the whole Thanos "I don't even know who you are" thing here. However they do it, Chucky will have a new body and I bet the legacy characters start showing up.
There's a lot they could do honestly. Plenty of ways for this to go down.

I get it's a dumb horror show and I do still enjoy it but seriously? We just have to accept that Lexi walked out of there as the only person completely unscathed? No flashback to show how? That's it?
So I haven't seen any of the movies except for the first one decades ago; who is Andy Caputo? Is he meant to be related to Eddie Caputo from the first film? Or he changed his name or something?
