LOCKWOOD & CO WAS A TRIUMPH! The show got stellar reviews, an incredible reception from both fans of the books and newcomers, it was number one across the world and a smash hit especially when it came to family viewing. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked so hard on the show, to all the beautiful passionate fans who took it to their hearts, and most of all to Jonathan Stroud, whose stories and characters will live forever.
Having read most of the Lockwood books now I really gotta say how much of a CHOICE, and ultimately a great one, it was to make the trio’s care for each other umpteen times more tender and explicit in the show. Like Lockwood is so much colder, so much more controlling in the books. Lucy is much more removed and at times nastier. (George is pretty much the same except maybe a bit more stubborn and just a bit less formidable of a teammate.)
Really appreciate that Joe Cornish was just like “Nah, let’s inject this shit with more kindness and tenderness and earnestness” because it turns a quirky adventure series with some underlying friendship and love into this overwhelmingly beautiful story of found family, and these three young people deeply loving and appreciating each other WITH their flaws.
Like, I am loving the books, and am praying we get S2 and even S3 of the show so we can meet Holly, etc. And there are a lot of delightful setpieces that the show needs to clip out for time and storytelling. But what the show lacks in the density of its worldbuilding it makes up for in the emotional vulnerability of its Portland Row trio.
You know what I would love to see more of in season 2? More eerie, whimsical depictions of Lucy’s connection to ghosts and their lives, whether that’s by using the underwater world as a continuing motif, or something else entirely. I just love the idea of manifesting a space or spiritual realm for her to commune with the dead
