Lockwood & Co. (Season 1)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Lockwood & Co. (Season 1, 2023, UK)

Directors: Joe Cornish, William McGregor & Catherine Morshead

Writers: Joe Cornish, Joy Wilkinson, Ed Hime & Kara Smith

Mini-review:

I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected based on the first teaser! It's fast paced, engaging and very fun, even if it's far from perfect. Sometimes the pace and the developments feel kinda rushed, and it's obvious from the very first episode that the show needed a bigger budget than the one they were given. But I didn't have much problem brushing that off, cause the three characters at the core of it all are just that good. It's a combination of personalities that always works well and the cast pulls it off with great chemistry. I really do think this aspect is what carries the show and makes it so watchable, regardless of its flaws. By the end of it I was actually itching to find and read the books, but I think I'll wait to see whether this gets a second season or not.

Lockwood & Co — Netflix Series | Release Date, Cast, Characters, Plot, Trailer, First looks | Jonathan Stroud |

Netflix published a brief teaser for the upcoming Lockwood & Co on their official YouTube account on October 26, 2022, even though there isn’t a full-length trailer yet. Anthony Lockwood and Lucy Carlyle are facing a fierce, shrieking spirit in the teaser. 

Lockwood attempts to slay the beast with some impressive combat skills, but the enraged entity causes Lucy to fall over a stair railing, and she clings on precariously above a precipitous drop. Lockwood returns and grabs Lucy’s hand to pull her to safety just as she is about to slip and take a very bad fall.

The teaser’s final few seconds provide a brief but intriguing piece of show lore: When Lockwood asks Lucy if the ghost touched her, Lucy responds, “Of course not! If it had, she would be dead.”

Cast

The trio consists of Ali Hadji-Heshmati (Alex Rider) as George Cubbins, Cameron Chapman (Bridgerton) in his first acting role as Anthony Lockwood, and Ruby Stokes (Bridgerton) as young psychic Lucy Carlyle. 

They are joined by Ivanno Jeremiah as Inspector Barnes from Humans, Luke Treadaway as The Golden Blade from Attack the Block, Morven Christie as Penelope Fittes from The Bay, and Ben Crompton as Julius Winkman from Game of Thrones.
