But what about the characters in our own lives? What are they really like? Are they stupid, or just unlucky? And if they’re just unlucky, why do we keep watching them?
The Locke and Key series is a serious fantasy drama that does not have a lot of logic or reason. This lack of logic and reason is what makes the characters’ problems so difficult to solve.
The third season of “Sherlock” is a tough watch at times. You’ll be rolling your eyes and shouting at your TV, wondering what these people are doing. It soon becomes clear that whatever magic the show had in the first two seasons is gone with this third season. ..
Now, stupid characters acting erratically can be fun to watch as a “so bad it’s actually good” sort of watch, but Locke and Key doesn’t even have that going for it. ..
The season has a lot of inconsistencies, huge plot holes, contrivances and characters that never grow or learn anything across the run-time. I’m being careful not to spoil anything here but if I had to point to one of the worst culprits for this, it would have to be Bode. He’s had a journey this kid has had.
The first season of “House of Cards” was full of surprises. We didn’t know who the bad guy was until the end, and even then, it was a bit of a mystery. In the second season, we know who the bad guy is right from the start - and he’s one of the most annoying players on the show.
The Locke family are back together and things are looking up. But there’s a catch. Tyler is out of town and the family doesn’t know where he is. They need to find him before he finds them. And that’s where the new chapter of Locke and Key comes in. It picks up right where the last one left off, with the Locke family trying to figure out how to get back into their lives while Tyler tries to find them.
Captain Gideon’s goal this year is to get his hands on every key from inside the house. To do this, he uses the power of the Well to conjure up several of his lackeys to do his bidding and invade Locke House.
In episode 1, Bode and the gang stumble over numerous problems, most of which issues they’ve caused themselves. In this episode, we learn that these keys are pretty dangerous and should be handled with care.
In the third season of “The 100”, Bode finds several new keys that completely change the dynamic of the show. He dives in headfirst without a regard for the consequences of his actions, which leads to many dangerous and unpredictable outcomes.
The game’s final hours are marred by two poorly executed additions that significantly damage the overall quality of the experience. ..
Despite how exciting the keys are, season 3 is actually rather bland and moves at a pretty poor pace. We get a whole episode dedicated to Duncan’s wedding and then he disappears from the plot completely, save for a conveniently expository voicemail late on in the game.
The final episode of this season’s show feels like it was rushed through, with little development in the middle of the episodes and a lack of threat at the end.
Locke and Key is one of those shows that’s actually not too bad to binge in the moment. Sure, the characters are still incredibly stupid and make dumb decisions right the way through, but the keys are such a unique and interesting concept that you’ll stick with this in the hope that it gets better. With the exception of a few aesthetically pleasing moments late on, it doesn’t get much better. When you finish this season and take a step back, you really do come to realize just how shockingly poor this final season is. And it pains me to write this because I actually enjoyed the first two seasons. ..
The third season of “Stranger Things” had its share of problems, but they can be overlooked in light of the imaginative and visually stunning episodes that are still available. I can’t help but feel that if the series had focused more on its visual design, it might have been able to cover up the nonsensical and erratic characters who are at the forefront of this. ..
Locke and Key’s third season was plagued by problems from the worldbuilding and narrative structure through to its characters and contrivances. There were a few stand out moments but judging as a full season, this is miles below par.
