The “Sonic the Hedgehog” movies weren’t particularly good, but they had Jim Carrey and made a lot of money, so inevitably, there’s more. Lacking Carrey to help carry the load, “Knuckles,” spun out of that game-to-screen universe, isn’t just bad, but a next-level degree of bad, starting with the puzzling question of for whom this six-episode Paramount+ series was made.

Most of the action, meanwhile, stems from a nefarious character intent on siphoning off Knuckles’ power, with a couple of well-armed henchmen in not-so-hot pursuit. Despite only six half-hour episodes to complete the trek from points A to B, “Knuckles” goes nowhere fast and doesn’t seem to be in much of a hurry to get anywhere. Instead, the show indulges in detours that include exploring Wade’s personal life, bringing his mom and sister into the mix.
