    It's alright. I can see hispters enjoying it a lot. It's gonna stay niche and not get renewed for season 2.

    It's not TERRIBLE, but that's about the only compliment I can give it, so that should give you a fair idea of the quality.

    If you're not sure, just look up Netflix's own trailer of the show. It's a bit over a minute of a teenager trying to look competent as he flails about with a sword while another teenager hangs onto a shoddy wooden picture frame that wouldn't support something a tenth of her body weight. This while a ghost screams annoyingly (not spooky, not scary, just annoying) at them, loudly.

    That's it. That's the show in a nutshell.

    It doesn't deserve a second season, and probably won't get one.

    Didn't read the books so I have no idea if the casting was appropriate or not. I was just looking for something with ghosts in it to watch one day and put this on. Made it almost halfway through. But why am I rating it a 4 then? Because I drop most netflix originals after a single episode. This might be meh, but when most netflix originals barely rise to the level of trash, that's an achievement!    … Expand

    Loud= Scary, or that's what they think. Big EQ problems. Taking off heaset breaks you out of the serie. Other than that, pretty average.

    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.

    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.

    Lockwood & Co. is a lively adaptation of the book series, helped along by good chemistry between its leads.
