Sonic’s Knuckles Paramount+ show isn’t the knockout fans were hoping for

Egregious product placement and an utterly bizarre bottle episode tarnish what is otherwise good fun.

Ultimately, this series isn’t the knockout that fans were hoping for. Despite a brilliant start, It’s difficult to shake the feeling that Knuckles was originally intended for theatrical release, with momentum killing filler and heinous product placement the resulting collateral damage.

  • Enjoyable pilot
  • Julian Barratt is a delight
  • Momentum killing filler
  • Heinous product placement
