I missed this during it's initial tv run, but no worries. I figured it would hit peacock as soon as the season ended, like it did with the first season.
11 months later, they finally decide to put it on peacock. Meanwhile, a movie will end its theatrical run and appear on streaming in about a month or two. Like seriously, why the fuck did they wait so long with this? Now, I'm having to get it all watched before the season 3 premiere, which is next month. I'm going to overdose on Chucky, but it's my duty as a tv-watching guy. You get it.
So I'm about halfway through the season and it's pretty good. It's reminiscent of Child's Play 3 in which the protagonist(s) wind up in a reform school. Not a military school this time, but a Catholic school. Imagine what kind of terrors he could wreak upon priests and nuns... Yeah, that Chucky is a jerk of all trades. Able to be a killer doll in all sorts of tropes and horror settings.
I love seeing Devon Sawa back. He's supposed to come back in season 3, likely as yet another new character. I'm assuming his character will die in this season, because why not? Everybody dies, and Chucky ain't afraid to explode kids either. Multiple Chuckies mean he can be reckless.
The Tiffany/Tilly plot is wonderful. I loved the guest stars in the murder mystery party episode. I love how Tiffany wants to be Jennifer Tilly so much, but all she's watching for research is Liar Liar.
They also play Psycho II in some parts of the season, and guess who pops in this show? It's easy if you think about it.
And for anyone wondering about Glen/Glenda... that plot is finally being addressed, too. I'm not sure how a franchise about a killer doll from the 80s can hit all the right notes, but it's working.

There are a few can't-undo moments sprinkled in there, but when it comes to Chucky... they can always find a way to bring him back. As long as there are Good Guy dolls out there, he doesn't need any sound logic to resurrect.
Plenty of gore, good side characters, plot twists, all that. Tiffany/Tilly and the twins plots were also great. You can tell Jennifer Tilly has a lot of fun playing such a psycho bitch. I think she looks better in this season than she did in the first season.
After season 1, I was really curious about what they planned on doing with Nica, given her
I'll try harder to catch season 3 when it airs, so I wont need to wait a year again to stream it.
