![]() Plenty of Season 2’s success can be attributed to Gabe and Edin, who make for a menacing - if not deliciously mismatched– duo. Their hijinks (with new sidekick Demon!Edin in tow) add opportunity to amp up the humor and hellfire, as they struggle to regain the upper hand. Gabe - or should I say, Dodge, though they rarely appear in female form this season - is now at a clear disadvantage. It’s always enjoyable to watch a story unfold from the villain’s perspective, a tool so rarely used in television. The awareness of Gabe’s true identity feels like being let in on an exciting secret, and the series cleverly plays with that knowledge throughout the entirety of the season. The show essentially doubles the ground it has to cover with its use of dramatic irony that spills over after Season 1’s big finale reveal. Episode 1 hits the ground running and never looks back, expecting its viewer to remember the cornerstones of the first season, with little time for expositional reminders. Season 2 is bigger in every way, building on the foundation it’s already laid. ![]() LOCKE & KEY (L to R) PETRICE JONES as SCOT CAVENDISH, EMILIA JONES as KINSEY LOCKE and GRIFFIN GLUCK as GABE in episode 203 of LOCKE & KEY Cr. The series nails a consistent tone of spooky family fun, with thorough lines that keep every story focused, connected, and undeniably intriguing throughout each engrossing episode. Where Season 1’s biggest issues were lack of focus and identity, Season 2 knows exactly what it wants to be. In many ways, Locke & Key’s second season is reminiscent of older Halloween classics - an amalgamation of films like Disney’s Hocus Pocus and Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Slightly scarier - but not much - with plenty of romance and humor keeping the darker moments grounded. Locke & Key Season 2 is the type of television you wait all year for the perfect October adventure that will hook you from its opening moments, and keep you engaged until the final credits roll. ![]()
