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.

What to Know

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.

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

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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

Alex O. @merelyPrince Oct 1 It’s probably entertaining for younger kids and has some great cinematography, but overall, it can’t keep my attention. Every choices the characters make are either exactly what’s expected, conveniently spontaneous plot choices or for comedic effect, and they gave up most opportunities to exemplify character development or thoughtful commentary. The “self-discovery” from the synopsis seems missing to me. Although it seems trivial for a kids show, it makes the show difficult to care about since everything is exactly as it appears and nothing more. Dialogue and interactions are dry and nearly exclusively trying to wring a chuckle out of the audience. It doesn’t take a single scene seriously, which is probably intentional, but robs it of a chance to create meaningful moments, even brief ones. There were no stakes, no real emotions and no interactions not revolving around artificially pushing forward the plot or comedically resolving whatever arbitrary problem they’d introduced minutes ago. I was ready to enjoy this show, but it really doesn’t go anywhere and feels like I have to turn off my brain to get through it.

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 See more Bryce @That_guyBryce Aug 21 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. See more Ryan H. @RyGuy Jul 31 This felt much more kiddie than the movies did. See more Travis J Jul 26 This show is GREAT!!! Super fun aswell as funny. The cast and acting is perfect. Really hoping there will be a second season was disappointed there were only 6 episodes. See more Read all reviews
