Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 85 /100

Lockwood & Co. received strong praise from critics for its atmospheric world-building and successful translation of Jonathan Stroud's young adult novels to the screen. Reviewers frequently highlighted the show's sleek production design, noting that the use of haunting London locations and abandoned mansions created an immersive, eerie aesthetic that set it apart from other supernatural series.

The show is also widely lauded for the chemistry between its three leads, Ruby Stokes, Cameron Chapman, and Ali Hadji-Heshmati. Critics appreciated the balance between weekly ghost-hunting missions and an overarching mystery that kept viewers engaged throughout the season. While primarily aimed at a young adult audience, the series was noted for having enough tonal depth and chilling adventure to entertain a broader demographic.

“It’s sleek, stylish, and utterly immersive with an excellent spin in how it transitioned from page to screen.”

“The cast was good, and there is just enough of a greater mystery on show here to draw you through the series.”

“Lockwood & Co boasts a better-than-average quality than recent supernatural titles.”

“The main trio... are wonderfully cast and feel that their chemistry as a group... worked really well.”

Why fans love it

In a version of London plagued by deadly spirits, the supernatural is treated as a mundane, industrial burden. This 2023 sci-fi series centers on a small agency run by teenagers operating without adult supervision. The dynamic between the leads leans into the friction of working together while managing the dangerous reality of their psychic profession.

Ruby Stokes anchors a cast that balances teenage ambition with the grim necessity of ghost hunting. It avoids the polished sheen of typical fantasy, opting instead for a grounded approach to a city under siege. The result is a series that treats spectral encounters as a logistical problem rather than just a spectacle. It is a rare take on ghost stories where the characters feel as weary and amused as the audience.
