Anye Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) In London, the most talented teenage ghost-hunters journey nightly into dangerous combat with deadly spirits. Among the many adult-staffed corporate agencies, one small startup is alone: Lockwood & Co., operated by two teenage boys and a psychically gifted girl who are a renegade trio free of financial motives, adult supervision and destined to unravel a mystery that will change history's course. Series developed by Joe Cornish for Netflix based on Jonathan Stroud's book series of the same name. The series consists of eight episodes, and premiered on 27 January 2023. It follows the plot of the first two books, The Screaming Staircase and The Whispering Skull. Edited January 30, 2023 by Anye
Anye Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 On episode 5, love it so far. Could be as big as Wednesday but with better stories and acting.
KFC Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I would like to check this out but I fear it may be a bit juvenile for my taste. As a 40 year old man would I enjoy it? Or does it give more teen drama
Mr.Link Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 If anyone likes it, give Jonathan’s “Bartimeus” trilogy a read. You won’t regret it, ever.

This show deserves better.
D/X Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Reviving this thread cause this is seriously the best series Netflix has released in quite a time. Like I'm seriously considering giving a rewatch. The production design, cinematography, suspense, world-building, character development, romance, mystery, chemistry, the cast... It has some plot details but tied up everything nicely with two amazing last episodes unlike others (ahemSandman), has a perfect world-building that every other fantasy series and film nowadays lack (ahemLocke & Key), and the heart that others fail to give (ahemShadow & Bone). Sad that this will get cancelled inevitably due to the lack of promotion... I hate Netflix. It truly could've been bigger if marketed correctly.
publikcitizen Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 it was really good. the guy who play lockwood is really cute

D/X Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) As any ATRL title would say, "Any surprises?" Not even upset cause it was pretty obvious, I mean...

Gossip_Boy Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 This was cute but did not perform all that well. Plus Netflix bought the rights to DC’s Dead Boy Detectives which is fairly similar so the writing was on the wall sadly.
Nebur Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 how i hate netflix That's why I watch more Asian series... Netflix cancels many western series This was entertaining, however, it was obvious that they could cancel it, it didn't spend much time at the top, it's a shame
