Knuckles Series and Little Siberia: My Thoughts After Watching
"Knuckles" Series Experience
I finally finished watching the "Knuckles" series! It was originally released in English on Paramount Plus, but now it is available in Hindi on Prime Video. As a result, I enjoyed the entire series.
For those who don't know, let me tell you— this series is part of the "Sonic" movie series. The second movie introduces the character Knuckles, who is an alien warrior. He comes to Earth with a special purpose and becomes a powerful new addition to Sonic's world.
The series is based on Knuckles. It has a total of 6 episodes, each lasting about 30 minutes. So it can be watched very easily.
Story Summary
The story of this series is based on the events after the "Sonic 2" movie. In the first movie, Sonic easily adapts to Earth, but this planet is completely new to Knuckles. So he has a hard time adjusting. But gradually he finds a purpose for himself and forms a pair with a character named Wade.
The main attraction of the story is Knuckles wants to make Wade a real warrior, because they have to prepare for a special battle. However, the subject of battle is sometimes humorous, sometimes serious. As a result, the series is funny but has some depth.
Good points and limitations
✅ Good points:
- The series is made with a mix of action and comedy, which is quite enjoyable.
- The depth of the character of Knuckles and the story of his strength are shown in more detail.
- There are some great action sequences, which bring back the vibe of the movie.
❌ Limitations:

- The story is quite simple and is basically made for fan-service, so that Sonic fans can enjoy it more.
- Some jokes worked, some didn't add up at all.
Latest review
If you are a fan of the Sonic series and want to get to know the Knuckles character better, then this is definitely worth watching. However, for those who just want to watch it for the depth of the story, it may not be that interesting.
My rating: ⭐ 5.5/10 (A timepass series worth watching once, not bad at all, but not great either)
