Locke & Key

[Primal Slayer]

About half way through and really enjoy it but jeez.....the sister

Spoiler

without fear is annoying

 

[Primal Slayer]

Finished S1 and really enjoyed it. Hoping it gets a 2nd season.

We binged our way through it on the Saturday. On the whole I enjoyed it.

This is where I have a moan...

This incessant need to take something such as a comic, a novel, a TV series, whatever, and then 'adapt' it for TV and then change core things about them is really starting to **** me off. Because it says to me the person wanting to do that is LAZY. It's no different to copying someone's essay at school but changing a couple lines. You're taking someone else's idea (which is written/made as it is for the reason that the creator intends it be that way), and then change bits with your own ideas - that's not ORIGINAL. It's plagurism. It's incredibly lazy. It shows you can't come up with an entire story/project yourself, instead only bits and pieces and so you butcher someone elses work and shoehorn in your own bits. Hate it.

RE the series itself, I was surprised how quick they got through the books on the series. It can only really have 1 more series.

With regards to no-fear Kinsey, in the books;

Spoiler

She realises taking out her fear almost costs her friends their lives in the caves, and puts the fear back in. So I assume perhaps she somehow captures it in series 2 and puts it back.

If you don't know the books, and don't know what some of the changes they've made are (and why they make me angry);

Spoiler

- from the word go the mum is an alcoholic. Not recovering and 6 months sober like the show. Her issues make it harder for the kids to talk to her and add another layer of difficulty to the kids having to deal with the death of their dad. Stripping that back for TV is a real shame.

- Dodge/Lucas when he's younger with Rendell and the others has long hair. If i remember rightly, when Dodge is freed from the well, she turns back to a male form and gets a hair cut and goes to school and becomes best mates with Tyler. He eventually forms a relationship with Kinsey to get the keys which creates an issue between Tyler and Kinsey, and also he get's very close to Bode, taking him seriously when the other two don't. Seeing him at school as a student is also what freaks out the teacher, Joe Ridgeway and he eventually realises who he is. This is also something I'd rather they'd not have changed.

 

[Persona]

Still trying to get through the first episode.

Not bad, per se, it just feels so... flat?

 

[Heretic]

I have one episode left, which I'll watch tomorrow night.

I am mostly really enjoying it! I like how the characters are handled...like...it mostly handles them realistically.

One thing...it suffers a bit from obviousness. Like when the guy says "I have something important to tell you, but not on the phone...meet me later." You just know that guy is going to die. And then she takes the key over to her house where the crown is? Why bring the two together at THE place that you KNOW the demon or whatever will likely be???

But otherwise...it feels like a good introduction to Horror for kids (and, I guess adults) who dont watch Horror yet.

Started it last night, about halfway through the season. The first episode is a lot of set up, boring exposition stuff but it picks up in the next few episodes.

 

[Persona]

Thanks. I will try to stick with it.

 

[Erik20]

I liked this, but at times it kind of felt like a CW show. It's "better" than that (imo), but you just have to get through some of the first couple of episodes

Netflix’s ‘Locke And Key’ Renewed For Season 2 – Deadline

Netflix’s ‘Locke & Key’ Set To Return To Production Later This Month – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: The Locke siblings are set to resume their roles as Keepers of the Keys as production on Netflix’s Locke & Key is set to resume later this month.

Deadline understands that filming will resume on September 21 at Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto, Canada. The plan is to film through to the end of March for the second season of the adaptation of the comic book series.

This comes after the streamer handed the show, which is based on the books by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez, a second season in March, a month after the first season launched.

 

[Airwings]

I enjoy the series so far.
It's weird though, to see the kid from Prodigy act in a very different role.

Totally forgot about this show.

So this gets 3 seasons from Netflix but Dark Crystal and The OA can't?

Yup, that's what I was thinking... and don't forget about Glow

I thought this was just okay. I watched it when it came out and never thought about it again since... I'm really surprised Netflix is already giving this a third season after they cancelled a bunch of great shows

 

[Persona]

It's just very weird to me in that it doesn't seem like some super cheap show to make but it must've got more viewers than I realized. From my perspective it came and went and no one I know or follow online watched it or talked about it. And it gets a third season before the second one's even dropped?

Meanwhile you've got these shows that are well-received and have super passionate fans and they can't seem to make it past two seasons.

I sometimes wonder if Netflix literally has some algorithm that tells them what shows to keep and which to cancel and they just obey it, no questions asked.

So turning people into demons vis a is more useful than a key to reserve the change. Might as well kill them....
