Locke & Key - worth watching?

[LuckyAmy1986]

Looking for something new to watch with DH in the evenings. Looks interesting but read that it's aimed at teens? then on the other hand I also don't like too much creepiness (like Paranormal activity) as it keeps me up! anyone watched it and could recommend (or not!)

I loved it! Just finished the last episode last night. It's a good story and I like the characters. However, there are bits which are badly written or don't make sense so don't set your expectations too high! It's definitely not scary either.

I've just watched Ragnouk (sp ) it's from Norway but has been dubbed into English . Its quite good and not really gory , the bits that could be are quite mild and wouldn't keep you up.

Definitely has a teen vibe, but an easy watch. It has the ‘Ben’ actor from Falling Skies 😊

I wasn't that impressed. Its very teen-y. Some of the acting is cringingly bad.

As some others have said it is quite teen-y but I loved it. I wont watch anything horror or paranormal as it gives me anxiety and nightmares. But I was fine with this.

Tha first time I saw an ad for this, I thought it sounded like life had gone horribly wrong for Biff, Chip & Kipper.

i enjoyed the first series, struggled to get into the second.

I’m a complete wimp and get creeped out by the most minor of creepy things, but it was fine. A bit trashy but in a good way, we enjoyed it.

Thank you everyone. Sounds like it's definitely not too scary for me. But a bit cringy maybe... I'll have to give it a go myself I think

Any other shows similar that are a bit fantasy/horror that are bit more grown up?

I don't mind slash/gore etc but anything paranormal that's toooo creepy and I can't sleep for weeks!!!

Of a similar ilk we have and enjoyed watching Fringe, Black Mirror and some of American Horror Story. Oh and Penny Dreadful, and Hannibal.

What's The Witcher Like?

Thank you 🙏

Vampire diaries? I loved that too. It's a bit cringey/teen drama at first but it gets better.

Witcher is fab - definitely not scarier than American Horror Story. And Henry Cavill is just beautiful.

Have you watched / did you like Stranger Things?

Umbrella Academy is also well with a watch - more zany drama than anything else, but really goood story!

I don't think DH would watch the Vampire Diaries! I have always wanted to though!

Yes loved Stranger Things!

I've heard good things about The Umbrella Academy so that might be a shout. And yes HC is beautiful I agree!!

We just finished S3 of Locke of and Key and it was GREAT! Def recommend 👍

Got another recommendation as this has been resurrected! The Boys on Amazon Prime. Very gory, very silly, funny and entertaining.

Have you watched Paper Girls?

I think if you liked Hannibal and AHS, Locke & Key isn’t going to be up your street - to me it’s very much something to watch with your kids more than something you’d look forward to watching alone. I found it dull in parts but DD liked it.

We went with The Witcher and are loving it!

The wither and Locke is good. Witcher has more depth but locke is light hearted entertainment,I'm enjoying it with my teen inspite of some poor holes

Poor holes?

Fate winx saga is my guilty pleasure!

Locke & Key and the Umbrella Academy both fab!
