Never messed with comics/books. From my view it was an amazing balance between mystery/thriller/fantasy. So much creativity without the crutch of nudity or vulgarity. High quality and lived in my veins like Stranger Things. I live that I can watch this with my children and talk to them about it. I will support more in any way I can.

I hate adaptations and stopped watching them years ago. All they do is fuck up what the author had to say. Look how bad they fucked up King's work in the past, not to mention the few things out so far of Hill's. IMHO if they can't stick to the original story they need to write their own fucking stories and stop riding on the coattails of successful authors!!

The show was fun to watch, but the characters acted braindead so many times. They did not utilize any of the abilities they have. Why would Ellie take the key with her while trying to get the crown? Even further, why would they leave any key with a person not part of the locke family?

I just finished it today and felt the same regarding the braindead side of things. Having spent all that time keeping the keys from Dodge and even separating them, it was completely stupid to let Ellie walk off with a key. Especially as she's going to go get the crown which the key goes with and it's at a location that Dodge might appear at. The other big part was in the finale when Dodge was knocked out. Not once did they question the disappearance of the crown and neither did they check her for all the other keys she had.

Immediately in the cafeteria scene, I knew he was bad. The moment he insisted they enter the cave I knew he was Dodge. too obvious honestly

I think the show leaned more towards fantasy because the previous versions that leaned towards horror all got passed on. Overall I think the show is good. I don’t look for shows to be the same as the books or comics on which they are based. I think the guys got it right, the show is well made and well acted it’s just not a horror piece of work anymore. I think it does have space to get darker with more seasons though. Good review.

Feel like there could be the stupid high school stuff but the series needs to be extended. I think the story was fit to hit the ten episode mark. How Ellie took the key home with her when she went to get the crown was just so stupid. I understand it needed to happen to introduce the ending but they could’ve filmed a better way for dodge to get the key. We need more adventure and mystery in my opinion, plus more background info. Someone who has never heard about the comic has to google info which is terrible. Good Show overall though

Dumbest Netflix series

Very disappointing, horror was a huge aspect of the comic. They better go in the other direction for season 2

The music box key was completely ignored after they introduced it. It was literally the most powerful key the kids had. They could make ANYONE do anything and they just sorta forgot about it

I'm glad they left out the sexual assault of Nina Locke. It wasn't necessary. I was expecting it to be scary though, and it wasn't, but having not read the comics before hand, I enjoyed it over all.

I disagree with them portraying sam as a class clown. I found the scene with the pig extremely unnerving and to me it seemed like they were trying to show us a bit into his twisted mind. As someone who didn't read the comics i loved the show and as a result didn't see there being any missing horror. However i did find it frustrating how the main characters didn't utilise the keys when they were in trouble and as many pointed out, Elli carlessly took the key back to the house knowing Dodge would probably be there.

Couldnt they just use the key that manipulated people and used it on echo?

There were SO many instances, like that, that it felt like light torture. And I guess the majority of those moments could be chalked up as plot devices... or just bad attempts. Btw, you wouldn’t know from this rant but I enjoyed a fair amount of the season, lol. It just felt like an unnecessarily painstaking endeavor at times. Smh Ready for Season Twooo 🙌🏾 lol.

🖕🏻 Aloha! 🤣🤣🤣 That part had me lmao , when Bode said it to his mom

Strongly agree with this breakdown/review. My moms in love with it because she hates horror and thought it was going to be a lot more anxiety ridden than it turned out to be, also finds it entertaining and loves the fantasy aspects. She loves it and gets mad when I point out the cringey dialogue and other things I don’t particularly enjoy about the show. For me on the other hand I also expected more horror and for it to follow the comic at least 10% more than what they did but it still kept me wanting to see more. I still would recommend it to someone to check it out especially if they’re not into horror or want something to watch with their family or kids.

I like how everyone I know who has said this show is "good", have a very hard time trying to sell it to me. I tried to watch it and not a fan. Pretty boring and too much tween drama.

I am so not into horror stories and movies, and so if it it did follow that line I would not have watched it. Also not a fan of Lovecraft he was problematic. Netflix has to appeal to a wide audience so they made the changes to reflect that.

Never heard on LnK before the Netflix announcement. I did enjoy the show. I stopped a few CW shows because they felt to campy but I thought this was good. I liked the idea of keys doing things. I liked the parents messing with them before this story. Dodge's polygamy was making uncomfortable lol kissing siblings as a both boy n girl! Crazy. But once Ellie wasn't w/ Rufus saw the twist.

Didn’t read the comics. Didn’t even know this was a comic until after I finished the show, so my perspective is a lot less skewed by source material. Absolutely loved the show. Obviously had its issues but definitely happy to not be bothered about character inconsistencies.

i disagree sm, like just because ur adapting something doesn't mean you have to be strict with what the source material provided, you can get the main idea of a story and add your own elements to it. That's what good book adaptors do. And as for "not making it locke and key" if they hadn't, they wouldn't possibly be able to use the idea of magical keys and the core concepts of the story. I think all the writers did was take a good idea and add their own interpretation of events and characters to it.

Going along with the vein of the story, I believe he was killed. The show did establish that Dodge is willing to kill kids when she pushed the kid into the subway.

What I wonder is if dodge was Gabe the whole time or if it did something with the actual Gabe. Because Dodge couldnt leave the well until Bodie brought him the key.

You're better off. The graphic novels are so damned good!

Ooh! What happens if one person gets hit with two demon bullets? They need to show that!

Personally since this show introduced me to the series ( I never heard of it before I watched the show) I liked it and was okay that it didn’t focus on the horror aspect as much compared to the fantasy aspect. (I liked /watched the show cause I thought it was cool. I didn’t watch it for horror entirely )However I could see how people that read the comics are mad because I can relate to shows/ movies not living up to the source material whether that be a book, manga , or comic.

I didn’t know about the comics before this, but I thought a lot of it was cool. Very much so felt like this show was aimed at kids. Reminded me of that old movie Zathura: A Space Adventure. I like the fantasy of the show but I also couldn’t fully immerse myself into the show over all

It was like a Grownup GOOSEBUMPS....I LIKED IT...But I wanted more 🤷🏾‍♀️Dodge got on my NERVES though....Bode was ok tho

Why would they even try to use the Crown on Dodge to get her in to the wellhouse when they all ready had the box that makes ppl do what ever you tell them to do?

Everytime the characters were presented with options, they seem to always choose the dumbest possible action just to advance the plot. I’ve never heard of the comic but was really amazed with the premise. Then the show kept going and going and the characters got dumber and dumber instead of learning from mistakes

liked it so far, but it was frustrating to see everyone doing every wrong choice. And umm i didnt know it was supposed to be horror.... Just felt like any other show

I didn’t know it was based on horror comics until just now, so recently rewatching the show I caught a new scene where well-lady pushes a little boy on the subway track and he gets run over immediately and I was SHOOK. It was so out of no where for the show version. Now that I know this, I wonder why they just didn’t go full horror. I would have enjoyed that way more and wouldn’t have been so shocked by random child murdering because it would’ve made more sense in that universe.

This could have been Hillhouse level, but they wanted a kiddy teenie audience, Fox rejected the first pilot because it was too scary... I need that version, Netflix is watering down shows they did it with narcos Mexico s2 altered carbon s2 and Locke and Key

Mike is so cute. I wanna hug him

Should I read the comics now? I did think the show was pants.

That's never going to happen and if people expect that, and that is their reason for not liking something, then yes, it is their fault. A book is a book, a film is a film and so on. They are very different entities. As you say, transferring between these things makes them an adaption, not a recreation. The main point of an adaption being to bring it to those who wouldn't read books, comics or see plays etc, and that's fine (as long as it's not overdone). If people don't want an adaption of some work they like, don't watch it as they know it won't be exactly the same. :-)

@@lwaves OP isn't talking about tiny details, but very broad genre that doesn't really match. No, I won't blame comic fans for expecting a more clear horror.

I get your heartache. A thousand years ago, there was a film made from my favorite book when I was a kid. They gutted that book, they ruined it. I hated it so much. 1971's piece of crap: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Dodge stole the jewels and killed the man because she was locked away for so long. I think it was her just living her life to the fullest.

They murdered this. Bode is supposed to be an intelligent, clever, creative, and strong-willed kid. The story is more about him than anything. He's a super likable kid and Dodge is super hatable. He was also dating Kensie for a really long time. There is so much more stuff going on with Rufus and his abilities as well as Dodge torturing the neighbor. Rufus is closer to Bode's age as well. They ruined the whole thing, basically. You can change stuff, but nor major plot points and characters. It's not Locke and Key without that.

This is such a good review! I really didn’t like the series. I had so many hopes that they would do a good job, but they didn’t. If you love the comics like I do, please don’t watch it. This show is to friendly, to magical and had no horror at all. I did not get the mother who was suddenly drunk in just one or two episodes? She forgot everything? The kids were more busy with their high school things, partys and friends and it looked like they weren’t surprised about some magical keys. Don’t start with me about the shopping and dancing wellady. Sigh.

At the end of the day I'm happy the series got a show to reach new people, but it really missed the point of the graphic novels

I never felt it was horror as I was reading it.

The identity key decision was absolutely NOT good for the story in any way! It completely ruined the logic of the story for me. Dodge had the ability to change identity to absolutely ANYONE this whole time and he his plan is to flirt and have sex with Tyler AS FEM-DODGE??? He could have at any moment changed his identity to Tyler or Bode or anyone that they actually would trust, and simply ASKED the other for the damned key. Also why even include something as powerful as the music box and never even attempt to use it against Dodge? I would have opened the music box and keep it activated in my backpack until I see Dodge again. "Give me the keys and get in the well-house." That last one is a semi joke, but my point as someone else has said already, is that so many characters seem completely braindead.

To be honest, in terms of Horror I really wasn't expecting much from the show. Mainly because I really didn't think the comics were that creepy Either they were Darker, but They were not creepy.
