The show is awful. Production values are ok. Justin Long does good. I like Rob Huebal but he's out of his element here. The writing and direction are absolutely awful. I'm convinced Disney is review boosting on sites because there is barely anything positive to say about this show. The show clearly is trying to be Chucky, but that show was a one time novelty that works because of its camp value. Instead we get awful generic high school garbage that can't even get the heart of the stories correct. Thr show made for a younger audience in the 90s is a better viewing experience than this and that isn't nostalgia tinted glasses. This is taking every awful modern writing element and taking it to an extreme. Its endemic to everything Hollywood needs to expunge. The art of creation can be difficult and it's clear that every mind behind the scenes realized that and decided to create nothing instead. Somehow in the attempt to modernize the old stories they managed to craft stories less creative and interesting. There is no lesson behind the haunted mask. Cookoo clock of doom doesn't become a backwards march towards oblivion brought on by revisiting past traumas. Say cheese and die just becomes a story beat. It is just hollow succession of "and something happened" moments. They do nothing clever and it's at the point I hope this goes the way of the Willow show.
