    S03 really is the final nail in the coffin

    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.

    Final season ruins the series

    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.

    Halfway through S1 and all of S2, you will groan, "You idiot!", often in each episode

    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.

    There is potential there

    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.

    It has quite a cool concept but the execution wasn't the best.

    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.
