It\u2019s got chills, thrills, and just a few too many frills \u2013 but ultimately, Netflix<\/a>\u2018s Lockwood & Co<\/a> is a spookily good time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the hit books by Jonathan Stroud and adapted by Joe Cornish, Lockwood & Co<\/a> is set in London decades after the emergence of large-scale hauntings known as \u201cthe problem\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series follows a start-up agency created by the confident young Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman). <\/span>Assisted by genius pal George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati), he enlists the help of the psychically-talented Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes), a youngster who can hear ghosts and has endured enough trauma to last anyone a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when danger knocks on the door of Lockwood & Co, the trio have no choice but to risk their life for an investigation that could take all of them to the grave.<\/span><\/p>\n

At a first glance, Lockwood & Co could easily be dismissed and boxed in with Netflix\u2019s other \u2018teen\u2019 fantasy series. But creator Cornish\u2019s penchant for a few more horror elements than expected along with a fiendishly talented young cast make for a gripping watch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
