Locke & Key (2020–2022)
5/10
Season 1: Decent. Season 2: Boring Woke Nonsense.
4 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Here's yet another Netflix series that started off pretty decent but just went off the rails with forced woke bullcrap. I'm honestly sick to the back teeth of EVERYTHING going woke these days. What happened to STORY driven rather than SJW driven?!

Season 1 was actually pretty decent and was interesting to watch, but this second series has lost the vast majority of that and more. It just turned into a teen angst/Hallmark Channel kind of movie too many times as well (it felt like I was watching some kind of crappy teenage drama).

I could maybe have put up with that IF there was more decent thriller aspects to the story and also less forced woke trash. There's everything here: interracial couples/families, interracial LGB couples, feminist crap ("mansplaining"). It's SO obvious this is just forced claptrap and the writers put this in just for the sake of it. Add to that several of the characters have become annoying from Kinsey and Scott with their CONSTANT awkwardness because they're "so into" each other and doing sod all about it, to Tyler's constant indecisiveness.

There are a few good moments dotted about here and there, but it feels like these were put on the back burner for the political Hallmark type moments. Yet another series with potential completely ruined.
