Locke & Key

Season 1 and 2 were good. Apart from the acting because it wasn't much noticeable. Also, the story was different and I didn't see that kind before, which made it unique so my rating was 8.

Going into season 3. Who taught them how to act? Who is that director? Who is the writer?

Seriously some events are just bad. A woman is screaming while they are in the next room and didn't hear the scream. They are just standing smiling at each other. That's a very small example, and you can see a lot of that. Some acting is just very bad in reactions. Weird reactions in some events which is illogical.

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.

The show is frustrating because it is so close to excellence. But characters doing dumb things kills it. It pulls you out of the show because you can't help but laugh. Without being a spoiler, imagine two characters have to drive a car somewhere that's far away. They do what they have to do, then one character decides to do the next step alone........so he gets in the car and leaves? So how is the other person supposed to get back??

And talk about dumb protagonists? It's obvious who the antagonist is , but they can't see for an absurdly long time, and when they do? How about keep it a secret from everyone else for a while?

Just really really dumb writing. Too bad because the premise is great.

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.

It's gonna seem great until the 7th episode, when you get front row tickets to witness a group of writers throw their own careers into the garbage.

It seriously feels like they were trying to speed-run the feeling disappointment that was Game of Thrones season 8.
