Gone before its time, 'Chucky: The Complete Series' arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Universal. The fan-favorite television series, spawned from a film franchise that began with 1988's 'Child's Play', includes all of the murderous supernatural doll's small-screen adventures. Brad Dourif provides the voice for Chucky, and the series displays obvious self-awareness, a knowledge of horror films past and present, and an unerring formula of pairing as much gory violence as it possibly can with acid wit. The twenty-four episodes are spread over six discs, two discs for each season, which seem identical to the previous individual season discs. The extremely modest amount of legacy supplemental features is carried over as well, with nothing new or additional to add to the mix. A Digital Code is not included, but a slipbox is. For a discussion of the packaging of this complete series release, please scroll down to the 'Special Features and Extras' section.

The cover of the slipbox features the many faces of Chucky, with the most sinister of the bunch being the focus. That particular image of Chucky is
larger
and better lit, the "Good Guys" logo being clearly visible on his diminutive overalls. The series' logo is at the bottom. The spine is home to the series'
logo centered and in text that is identical to what is seen on the cover. The Blu-ray logo is found at the top, and Universal's logo is at the bottom. The
reverse is busier, with Chucky's knife-wielding hand being the main focal point. It is bracketed by five stills from the series, a brief synopsis of the
show,
and a text box highlighting the on-disc extras. Opening the case, there is a hub on the inside of the front and back covers, and on both sides of the
two
middle pages, providing each of the six discs in the set with its own secure home. Under the first disc of the first season, a guide can be found which
details the contents of each disc. The inner print hidden under the last disc of the third season is another ominous picture of Chucky.
The on-disc supplemental material remains woefully light, and nothing new was created or added for this release. Instead, this edition merely brings
forward the legacy features from the individual season sets that came before. Each season includes a small assortment of deleted scenes, but the
first season has the additional short feature, "The Legacy of Chucky". For a more detailed accounting of these extras, please follow the links below.

When the series was cancelled in the fall of 2024, with high production costs cited as the driving factor in the decision, an online campaign was started to try to save the show. As of this date, it seems this was to no avail. While I would certainly have appreciated some more time with Chucky to see what he had planned next, the end of the third season resolved in such a way as to be a satisfying end to the series. A bit dark, a bit more ridiculous, and a bit unexpected, as endings go, but a reasonable end, nonetheless. The cast is universally solid, and Jennifer Tilly effectively adds a new layer of danger, humor, and madness. Given the superior disc storage solution in this release, some may find it preferable to the Chucky: The Complete Series Limited Edition SteelBook with its stacked discs. But regardless of the packaging, for fans of the Child's Play franchise in particular, and horror hounds in general, the Chucky: The Complete Series comes highly recommended.
