“After their father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the three Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father’s death. As the Locke children explore the different keys and their unique powers, a mysterious demon awakens — and will stop at nothing to steal them.”

Wuh? But... that trailer is full of wypipo and (from the little that I know of the comics) no one was apparently gender-bent?... is this really from Netflix?

Typical teen crapola with bad writing and characters.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
It's alright. 7/10
They changed a lot in comparison to the comic book but kept the overall story and characters.

fuck that girl is repulsive. Wish she'd gotten some proper character development and not transformed into some rotten and egotistical empowered female.
Just watched this series. It's very very VERY rocky.
The good:
- great premise
- some good characters
The bad:
- the mother/teenager story divide just doesn't work - the part with the mother goes nowhere. How do you marry a very flat and superficial teenage highschool story with an adult alcohol addiction story? You can't.
The ugly:
- the ending fell flat on its face - I knew what had happened but didn't know the extra twist. I also knew someone was hit by one of the bullets - very predictable.
- Bode is fucking annoying. At first I liked him but he became such a whiny character. Every time he'd speak, it would be to complain. the sister is equally annoying and her love triangle ... yeah fuck that. The brother on the other hand was just dull. "Girl pretty, must have girl, girl likes me back, me blame myself for father dead, me don't deserve girl". *yaaawn*. And the mother ...... yeah less said the better. She looks like a deranged psycho most of the movie.
- The whole teenager sub-stories were terrible - like some Nickelodeon bullshit.
- There is a lot of "convenient" bullshit going on:
* "We found a way to let us remember" --> NEVER explained
* "He hid it in his head so it MUST have materialised when he got cremated" --> suuuure
* Why was that teacher looking through the window of the house to see Lucas? Does he randomly drive by houses to look through the front door?
* That Asian guy killed himself to prevent the secret of the keys from being revealed. Why not hide the fire key instead of using it and just kill himself if the keys are an important secret? Anyone could use the key - it makes no sense and it would have revealed a secret to anyone who found it.
* the crazy kid who murdered the father had an Omega tattoo. Either she told him all about the keys and he would have asked the father about the omega key (still very vague why he would tattoo the omega then) or he did NOT know about the keys including the omega key and he wouldn't have put that omega tattoo there either. It made NO sense except it was a lazy way to signal the black woman that the father was killed because of the Omega Door.
There were WAY more examples like this that made no sense.
It felt like they wanted a kind of Stranger Things series but they failed badly. Stranger Things was focused, had interesting characters, was cleverly written and had a premise that was pretty well fleshed out. This just doesn't work for me. 4/10
