The A.V. ClubJenna SchererJan 25, 2023
Season 1 Review: All in all, Lockwood is an appealing blend of noir-tinged detective tale, horror, and lowkey teen drama with just the right amount of witty banter. Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleFeb 10, 2023
Season 1 Review: It’s very satisfying in its own straight-ahead manner — touching and quick on its feet, with an excellent performance by Ruby Stokes (the sixth sibling in “Bridgerton”) as Lucy, the female point in the typical two-guys-and-a-girl teenage-melodrama triangle. Read full review

The GuardianLeila LatifJan 27, 2023
Season 1 Review: There are mysteries, sword fights and jump scares aplenty, as well as some marvellous supporting turns from Ivanno Jeremiah as the no-nonsense Inspector Barnes and Luke Treadaway as The Golden Blade, who strike the perfect balance of camp and gravitas. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The latest in a long line of YA supernatural sagas from Netflix is a cut above, thanks to smart choices from showrunner Joe Cornish and a sparky young cast. Read full review

The TelegraphEd PowerJan 24, 2023
Season 1 Review: Driven in particular by Stokes’s gutsy performance, it has a zinging underdog charm. It’s impossible to say if it will be as big a hit as Wednesday. But it certainly has the potential to suck Gen-Zers into its satisfyingly sinister world. Read full review

The Observer (UK)Barbara EllenSep 10, 2024
Season 1 Review: It’s a bit of a Ghostbusters/Harry Potter mashup, and the “special effects” seem as basic as you can get without dangling a white hanky on a stick. But Lockwood & Co has charm. Read full review

Radio TimesLouise GriffinJan 24, 2023
Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, it’s easy enough to see where the twists and turns are going to take us - and what could have been a huge plot twist to set up the final episode can be seen a mile away. But it’s Cornish’s ability to bring the most terrifying parts of Stroud’s novels to life (or to death) that sets Lockwood & Co apart from Netflix’s other fantasy offerings. Read full review
