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.

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

3/5

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.

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.

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.

Disappointing series! The stories are awful, the acting is bad, the villains are uninspired and generic and I blame this series for ruining Sonic 3. Do not bring this back for a series 2, Paramount.

Good but not as good as the other Sonic movies

Keep seeing reviews saying it’s very childish. You realize you are watching a talking animal with anime eyes that has super powers right? Anyways it’s mid.

Funny, good action, and heart warming. Even though it was silly, it was absolutely nostalgic and oddly delightful. I laughed a lot!

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.

É uma série divertida, só que o maior problema é que focaram muito mais do Wade no Que no Knuckles, a série parece mais do Wade do que do Knuckles, mas tipo no geral é uma boa série e é divertida.
