I just had a horror franchise marathon with a bunch of film franchises (Scream 1-4 and The Romero Dead trilogy have been the best so far) and I'm slowly getting to Chucky - are any of the films skippable before I get to the show? I would love to just get the best of Chucky, but don't necessarily want to sit through the worst installments.

Hyped for this whole thing.

the show is pure fan service so you kinda need to see all previous films. It really seems like that

this is just my opinion but i dont love the chucky movies but I love the series. i ended up watching the final movies on 2x speed. And they are essential because one of the characters plays a huge role and the series really is a sequel to those movies as well. But the good news is once you slog through the movies (on whatever xx speed) you will get to enjoy a fast fun series. Just know this is a dark comedy and the series only proves not to take anything serious and have fun.

I sort of disagree with the other replies, like it's definitely fan service-y and I feel like I'd be enjoying it more if I'd seen any of the movies, but I haven't and I still really like the show (at least S1, haven't seen any of s2 yet)

Out of interest, are you going to circle back to the movies, or are you only in with the series?

His son is brought up in convo so you would have to sit through that horrible movie.
