Locke & Key

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.

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.

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.

If you want to watch a somewhat similar series that has zero frustration for the audience, I suggest The Lost Room (2006) - still holds an 8.2 rate here at IMDb.

I was impressed by the general plot of this one, and it started off fairly promising, but extremely poor writers squandered a chance of legendary.

Instead, this progressed into a low, nonsensical "background noise while multitasking " level of entertainment.

What a shame.
