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.

Geeks of Color

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

…feels like a Knuckles movie in six parts...decent enough for Sonic hungry kids...

It had the potential to become a story that could develop Knuckle's character. But most of the story was centered around Wade and his annoying family.

This show is mostly for the fans who begged for more Wade Whipple. Wait, I don’t think any Sonic fan ever has. Knuckles is given an important mission to help Wade Whipple become a great bowler. The question is why ? Along we meet Whipple’s family who we can care less about meeting. Though the Alan Wake 2 like musical episode is as dumb at it is entertaining. There’s still way too much Wade and bowling and not enough Knuckles. It’s like the creator was a huge fan of the movie KingPin.

This is not a Knuckles show. The title character is barely in it and after Episode 2, the show pretty much entirely revolves around Wade and Knuckles barely even gets any focus on the finale even. Definitely the worst Sonic show by far (not that it's saying much).

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this show and was laughing the whole way through. I didn't expect it to get as absurd as it did and I'm happy they committed to it as much as they did. Definitely appreciated that this was a low-stakes side adventure where I could just laugh along and enjoy myself.

It performs fine as entertainment for kids, but viewers with a slightly higher maturity might just find it a bit dumb.

Knuckles is a supporting cast character. This show's narrative follows the goofy cop, not Knuckles. Terrible story, far too goofy, and nothing original to Knuckles.
