Lockwood & Co.

Just been watching a few episodes of Lockwood and I'm impressed. The 3 main actors are very impressive, the you chap who plays Lockwood IMO channels a bit of David Tennet DrWho.

Even though this has young actors in it,in no way is it aimed at the young generation, I'm over 50 and I'm enjoying every episode.

Special effects are top notch, and scary at times the main story line is a great arc, but I'm not saying anything about it. You'll just have to sit down and enjoy it.

Netflix has its hits and misses but this is the later and I certainly hope to see more seasons of Lockwood and Co. In the future.

This show surprised me. It was familiar and unique at the same time. There were times where I tried predicting what would happen or how the characters would act and was pleasantly proved wrong in some instances. Also, this was the right way to implement a strong female lead. Even though we know her potential exceeds the rest of the characters, she isn't the "saviour with plot armor" who's strong for no reason that seems to be the trend with these recent shows. I appreciate how each character fits into their roles and aren't sidelined by the lead. My only complaint is that some of the effects seemed out of place like the sword trails, but that's it. The setting? Brilliant. The alternate version of the U. K. is too cool. Overall, excellent job by everyone.

Having no knowledge of the source novels, I enjoyed that the world building was steadily paced and not spoon fed like so many adaptations. The.directing is inspired. This ghostly alternate London is moody and eerie, full of human and ex-human intrigue. The principal cast perhaps build up to chemistry rather than instantly fizz, yet you still get the sense of their personalities amongst the whiplash adventures. I disagree with claims that this is kids' drama. They may be young, but their abilities weigh them down with harsh responsibilities. I hope this show gets backing to develop over a number of seasons so we can really get to know these characters and the world they inhabit.

I am quickly binging just about everything on netflix lately and this popped up after finishing Wednesday. Wow, I might like it more then Wednesday. It was so disappointing when all the episodes were over that I re-watched the whole season. Sharp writing, amazing sets and strong performances all around. The fight scenes are intricate and the camera does not cut away to fake movement but stays directly on the actors. Hopefully, this show will have enough views to get a second season because nothing production wise was spared. It would be a shame if viewership weren't high enough to warrant the cost of another season.

I absolutely loved this tv show. It was very intriguing and I really loved the atmosphere. I liked that it was set in England in a world that looks a lot like ours, but is different in a way. A parallel universe if you will. The mysteries in the plot really kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. After binging everything I was so curious to see how the story would go that I immediately bought the books. I have now read all of them (they are amazing btw) and am going to rewatch the Netflix adaptation again! I really hope Netflix will make a season 2 of Lockwood & Co.

Having read the books after watching the show I must say that I am really happy with Netflix casting decisions. George, Lucy and Lockwood are amazing together. I really don't mind that the Netflix cast is a bit more diverse than the characters in the book. The personalities are all spot on. I cannot wait to see who they cast for the characters that are introduced in the other books. The chemistry between Lucy and Lockwood was spot on. I also loved that some of the dialogues were almost identical to the book.
