JAKARTA - The Netflix-style fantasy world has always been associated with Stranger Things, one of their popular television series. With that confidence, Netflix is now releasing a new fantasy television series entitled Locke & Key.

This television series is adapted from the comic series made by Joe Hill and officially released since Friday, February 7, 2020. Netflix is not the first streaming station for the Locke & Key series.

Initially, this series was prepared for a series on the Fox television channel but it was not finished and was transferred to IDW Entertainment in 2016. A year later, it turned out that the production of the adaptation was thrown to the streaming service Hulu but there were several conflicts so they canceled the adaptation plan.

Locke & Key tells the story of three brothers who just moved into their ancestral home after a gruesome murder that killed their father. They find the house has several keys with strength and ability. However, a demon wants the key.

The series stars Jackson Robert Scott, Connor Jessup, and Emilia Jones in the main characters. For 10 episodes, the audience will watch how they deal with conflicts in the house and fight these demons. Locke & Key is also in the process of writing a second season although it has not yet been approved by Netflix.

Metacritic rated the series as 73 out of 100 and considered the series sufficient to describe the horror and frightening sensations. Viewers who see Locke & Key may be reminded of the series Stranger Things and The Haunting of Hill House which have the same genre.
