After last week’s reveal that Bree ( Lexa Doig) has terminal cancer, this week we get to see her come clean to Junior ( Teo Briones) in a tearful moment…and then get brutally dispatched by Chucky in a nice callback to both Bride of Chucky and Cult of Chucky. “Cape Queer” is pretty obviously centered around a pair of mothers and the relationship they share with their son. Not that seeing Tiffany ( Jennifer Tilly) scaring a realtor off or Andy and Kyle re-enacting Pulp Fiction isn’t great, but it has a completely different vibe and impact. Chucky began as a queer teen’s story and while the story is obviously getting bigger and more sensational, the character moments that land the best in “Cape Queer” are centered in this queer coming of age tale.
What I’m appreciating about the series, though, is that time is still being dedicated to the small emotional beats of the core pre-teen cast.
#Queer as folk season 1 series
As Meagan noted in last week’s review, the series does seem to be shifting (alternating?) between Jake ( Zackary Arthur) and Chucky ( Brad Dourif) as protagonists, and overall the series is only getting busier this week as Andy ( Alex Wheeler) and Kyle ( Christine Elise) join the fray. Each week Joe Lipsett will highlight a key scene or interaction in Don Mancini’s Chucky series to consider how the show is engaging with and contributing to queer horror.Ĭhucky continues to be a wild ride from week to week.
