    Nowhere near its potential

    The title says 'Knuckles' but it's more about Wade than Knuckles. I'm gonna be honest, I don't think anyone cares about Wade. I think people are watching the show because they want to see Knuckles, not Wade.

    The CGI and action scenes are awesome, but the story is awful. The show is enjoyable, but it could have been more. Its potential was totally wasted, and I'm really disappointed about that.

    I know I've been kinda negative, but the show is not bad by any means. It's enjoyable. So, if you want to turn off your brain and just have fun, this show is totally for you.

    I hope they will do justice to Sonic 3 and don't do the same mistakes they did in this show.

    Knuckles as character destroyed

    Sad addition to sonic universe. Comedy is quite bad in general. Knuckles keeps his warrior attitude, but that's it, nothing more. After first episode he is mostly childish sidekick to Wade.

    Whole thing is like bad Home alone copy. Maybe even more cheesy. Story line is so boring and has no meaning or development at all. Villains are also so dumb as they can be, on one point they are secret agents with next gen technologies on next they can't even get rid of one man who does literally nothing to fight them.

    I don't understand why not to use comics as base to create already proven characters and world around them. Would not recommend to any sonic fun, only good thing is CGI in this show.

    Great CGI, fun, but poor dialogue drags it down

    This show is stuck in this awkward spot where it looks great, but the show's reluctance to have any mature moments drag it down. Adults aren't allowed to be adults, and every line has me waiting to groan at a punchline. The villains are used for gags that ruin any sense of intimidation they could otherwise have had. The show has its great moments - the expressiveness of the characters is very fun to watch - but it's overshadowed by a reluctance to take itself seriously or respect its characters. The show focuses far more on Wade than the titular character, action scenes are inconsistent with how they use their powers and technology. While there are high points, overall it's generally disappointing.

    Knot Bad, But Could've Been Better

    Yeah, this is more the Wade Wipple show instead of Knuckles, but once the Echidna is on screen, it's gold. Idris Elba is spot on making this character take himself very seriously, which leads to some great comedy moments in episode 1. But the scenes with Wade, his family and the bowling tournament made it look like you're watching something else.

    The sister character, Wanda is just too psychotoic to be in a Sonic show. SHE STABS HER BROTHER IN THE ARM WITH A FORK! Also she doesn't get punished for her behaviour. This scene got the show a 12 rating in the UK, also what if kids try to copy that scene?

    Cary Elwes has fun playing the narcissist bowling champion, I thought the cup of tea in the bowling ball was funny, though.

    Overall, an average show. Hopefully Sonic 3 will be better. Hopefully no one gets stabbed in the arm next time.

    Wade show

    This show isnt really a knuckles show. Wade and his storyline takes center stage, with knuckles being a side character at best. Some episodes literally being only 5 minutes screentime and a few lines of dialogue. In honestly I expect there to be a youtube video titled "Knuckles but only when knuckles is there" and with a length of about 30 minutes at most. The man Villain is laughable as there is no real reason for him to be a villain and after knuckles and have only one scene with Knuckles only to end in 5 minutes. The show is more the "Wade show" and happens to be in the sonic movie universe.

    Plot is anything to write home about and nor do I expect it to be, but in Sonic 2 they seperated the human characters from sonic and friends, making the film all the better, the show focuses too much on the humans and fails to explore the named character, thus pushing him aside.
