I have not been keeping up all that much with original Netflix shows, so at first, I wasn’t aware that this show existed. Scrolling through suggestions with my mom and this pops up, so we checked it out. This show is, firstly, very well done. I found out that it is based on a book series of the same name, and while I haven’t read the books (yet), from what I’ve heard from readers, this show stays pretty true to the source material. It’s got the perfect blend or mystery, suspense, and action. The concept is also a very cool one too. Following three youths with gifts that allow them to see, hear, and fight ghosts… which have become a big problem in the world. Our three main characters are also quite likable in their own ways. George is the quirky brains of the group. Lucy is the stricter one who keeps the boys in line. Lockwood is the brooding leader you can’t help but love. I absolutely adore these three characters and their relationships with one another. It’s so very tender and caring, and you watch their bond grow deeper throughout the season. Overall, I would give this show a rating of great. I hope it gets renewed for a second season, and I think I’ll be checking out the books, too!
Lockwood & Co.
