This is the best young adult fantasy I’ve seen in years. Where Stranger Things is a show about kids made for adults, Locke and Key is made for teens, though it still has that tense, thriller vibe. It’s refreshing so see a new fantasy concept so well-conceived with plenty of room to grow into later seasons. The characters are compelling and even when they make bad decisions the show naturally incorporates clear motivations, showing the audience why each character does what they do. There is a casual attitude toward teenage drinking and sex, and though some is addressed in the show much of it goes unresolved. Still, the special effects are well above average, and each episode leaves you wanting to watch the next.

Closest comparison: It goes Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy, Locke and Key.
