Locke & Key

I love the idea of the story but man does it take along time to get there. All the high school drama was use less and really off putting. In the first few episodes the time spent on the keys is like 5% of what's happening and I honestly wanted to skip ahead. I like the idea of the story and that's the only thing that kept my interested to finish the series. Here's hoping season two is better.

I really enjoyed watching it, and honestly the views of Nova Scotia where enough to keep me intrigued, but it's clear that they deviated from the comics darker side to gain a more Inclusive audience for family viewing. I liked it, but I just wish it would have been more geared towards grown-ups who enjoy the blood & gore from the comic books. I guess I just wanted it to be scarier, darker, more moody. I understand why they did what they did, but because they chose to go the PG Route, it ends up playIng out as a CW type drama, which isn't exactly always a negative Thing, in fact I like a couple CW shows, but even Riverdale goes darker than this. I'm hoping season two is scarier. Just don't listen to the people who say it's terrible because it's obviously not, but don't expect to be scared if you're over the age of 13.

Started out with an interesting story line, and so the first season was a good watch. Second season was not too bad as well. But the third season was so infuriating. Writers became so lazy, that instead of writing good scenes, the only way they can get things to happen is to make the characters do the dumbest possible things. Such lame writing really makes you roll your eyes and lose interest in the story. I ended up doing other things or was on my phone most of the second half of S3. Sad demise for a reasonable interesting series. If they do resurrect this for S4, I would likely not be watching.

If there's one thing I hate in a show is lazy writing, GOD! WHYY? Why would they spoil such a good show with an awful final season like this? So many dumb decisions and unrealistic situations! Seriously, never have I ever hated a character so much like I hate Bode right now. His stupidity really knows no bounds, which makes for an extremely frustrating experience to watch. Sadly. S01- 9, S02- 7, S03- 3 = RIP Locke and Key, the coffin has been closed, hopefully with Bode Locke(d) inside.

Season One: 6.5/10

Themes: Fantasy, Mystery, Drama, Horror, Magic, Paranormal, Family, High School, Murder, Relationships & Grief.

Review: The concept of this show is interesting and fun, but for me the execution felt lacking. The pacing was very slow, and something about it felt off. Maybe it was the acting or the dialogue, but I couldn't help but think it was a lot more cringey than it needed to be. Some of the world-building was decent and cool, but I once again think it could have been done even better. The plot was okay, but some of the decision-making skills of the main characters were painfully stupid.
