Now in its third season, Chucky keeps proving that no character on this show is safe, and here's why that's so important.
The Big Picture The Child’s Play franchise has always existed in its own unique little bubble. What started out as a classic horror story of a possessed doll terrorizing a family, soon evolved into a franchise full of absurd storylines. So it really should be no surprise that the television series is just as crazy at times.
‘Chucky’ Is Unforgiving and Ruthless — and It’s Great From the get-go Chucky proved to be a rather unhinged show. Chucky himself was just as crude as he’d always been, and he clearly hadn’t grown an ounce of a conscience since we last saw him. It made for a thrilling time, especially when the very first episode killed off Jake’s dad. It became pretty clear from the first time we met Lucas that he would eventually end up on Chucky’s victim list.
As if it wasn’t enough to basically knock out Jake’s entire bloodline, the show did the same thing to Devon and Lexy, with only Lexy’s little sister Caroline left alive, albeit missing. Since the show doesn't dwell on these deaths as much as you might expect, you almost forget just how tragic these characters have it. Yes, we love seeing Chucky do his thing but he’s really done Jake, Lexy, and Devon dirty.
Going into Season 3 with that knowledge is pretty daunting, but lucky for us, or perhaps unlucky, we didn’t have to wait long for Chucky to make a big move. Chucky kills off Ms. Fairchild real quick. A recurring character since the very first episode, Season 3 had her take in Jake, Devon, and Lexy and become their legal guardian, so her death was definitely not anticipated — at least, not so soon.
Chucky is a brave show for many reasons, but its brutality and coldness toward its characters remain its strongest points. In fact, at times it just feels like this is a show designed for Chucky himself, where no one is safe, no one makes it out alive, and there are plenty of kills to go around. It’s completely unforgiving, but because of that each new episode exudes tension and excitement. You can never guess what will happen because the show is constantly subverting your expectations.
