Set in the cinematic universe of "Sonic the Hedgehog," the "Knuckles" series follows an action-packed journey of self-discovery. While struggling to adjust to life on Earth, Knuckles the Echidna takes on Wade Whipple as his apprentice, training him in the ways of the Echidna to help him prepare for a bowling tournament in Reno, Nev., where his estranged father is competing. During their journey, Wade reunites with his mother and sister, while Knuckles is pursued by a former agent of Dr. Robotnik, who now seeks to take his power for himself.

Critics Consensus

Pairing Idris Elba's terse echidna with a befuddled Adam Pally, Knuckles could use some extra punch to appeal more broadly beyond youngsters but hits just fine as light family entertainment.

The Age (Australia)

This is fan service that doubles as enjoyable family viewing, with Elba thankfully in on the joke.

Empire Magazine

This is more ‘Wade’s World’ than ‘Sonic 2.5’. Still, Knuckles’ solo side-quest proves fun filler fluff as fans await the arrival of Shadow in the threequel.

Rated: 3/5

Sonic the Hedgehog’s best frenemy takes the spotlight in Knuckles, a lighthearted small-screen amuse-bouche that’s breezy, childish, and ultimately forgettable.

Rated: 3/5

Knuckles is an adventure that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, with scripts that never underestimate the younger members of the audience’s ability to follow what happens on the screen.

Rated: 7/10

Ok Knuckles is the worsed thing you can watch. If you’re being held hostage and have to watch a 1000 hour documentary or this Choose the documentary I WOULD RATHER WATCH PAINT DRY THAN WATCH KNUCKLES THE HUMOR IS BAD THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS BAD The 1000 hour documentary has character development and anything I hate this show with a passion

I don’t understand the hate here I had a way better time watching this than with the first movie (of which there are lots of similarities although I need to rewatch the first movie to see if i remember this correctly) and what I Have seen of sonic prime lots of people say the issue here is how unserious the show is and how it’s more wade whipple than knuckles (which is true in the wade case) but the unserious part I don’t understand much when a lot of people hype up sonic prime.
