Knuckles is a fun, light show that has just enough edge to keep parents engaged, but is completely suitable for the whole family.

The fact the series never takes itself too seriously gives writers and directors the breathing space they need to include every wild idea that crosses their minds, from musical numbers to training montages inspired by sports films. Because of that, Knuckles is a testament to how a talented and passionate team can turn the most basic story beat into something unique and incredibly entertaining.

I liked it. I like wade. Knuckles appeared enough in the show. I'd like to see more.

Best Criticly Achlamed Show, Well Yea I guese why this is the best Criticly Aclamed Show Of The Year

While it functions largely as a streaming-only a clone of the first film, it displays a personality missing from the mainline movies by veering into welcoming absurdism and whimsy.

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.

Results will vary on “Knuckles”: hardcore fans of the franchise could be easily put off by how much Knuckles isn’t in the show. Others, maybe more casual viewers with little investment, might enjoy it for the harmless, low-stakes series it is.

Knuckles is very much a mixed bag. Sometimes, it feels like the Sonic films, with its use of larger-than-life characters in a real-world setting, but it loses focus to the point where Knuckles feels like a guest star in his own series.

Charitably, the series might be seen as a sort-of bonus for “Sonic” fans to keep the motor running while waiting for future movies, but it’s hard to imagine anyone on the shaving side of puberty being wowed by this iteration, and that demographic is unlikely to grasp the psychological nuance of Wade’s unresolved daddy issues.

lQuizás no sea una serie con muchos capítulos, pero disfrute cada segundo de esa serie, muy buena y llena de momentos emotivos, graciosos y épico, 10/10 les recomiendo verla

They should have renamed this to Wade: A Knuckles Story. The show is Okay; it's entertaining enough to be interesting. 6/10. What? Do you want me to elaborate on why? NO.

As a Sonic fan, this spinoff show is average at best. The only major complaint of this series is that Knuckles doesn't have enough screen time. And for goodness sake, this show is mostly about Wade and nearly slept every time I see him on screen but there are a few decent scenes I enjoy.

This is what corporate mandate product to justify their own streaming service looks like. This “mini series” is less then 3 hours but could have been so much better being 1 & half film if they cut off so much of the driveling fat due to Paramount not bothering to give a decent enough budget to have the main title character himself be present for more then half the total runtime since they think having him usurped by probably the most negative caricature of a Jewish American cop and his dysfunctional family that is barely anti-semitic in itself that he makes Jar-Jar Binks look like the most worthy successor to Gollum.

This show wasn't even really about Knuckles. Focused way too much on a side character from the movies. I'm not saying a dynamic between these two was a bad idea in general, but Knuckles got little to no actual spotlight. Also the writing was half-assed and the acting was mid at best.
