What Knuckles Is About
Follow Knuckles on a hilarious journey of self-discovery when he agrees to teach Wade the ways of the Echidna warrior.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 6 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its comedy/action roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Idris Elba, Adam Pally and John Whittington to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Idris Elba, Adam Pally and John Whittington lead the cast.
Key roles include Idris Elba as Knuckles; Adam Pally as Wade Whipple.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy, action and adventure have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Paramount+’s other originals, a 7.1/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2024 and carried by Paramount+ with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy and action viewers.
How Knuckles Compares
If Knuckles lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/action lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
Knuckles comes from Paramount+. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole Knuckles is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Idris Elba and Adam Pally doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/action roots, It has held up since 2024 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Knuckles is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and action lane, at 6 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.1/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.1/10. Watch it if you want comedy/action you can settle into.
