A genuinely unique setting.
Amazing chemistry from the actors.
The lighting sets the mood in every scene.
While the basic overarching story is a cookie cutter scenario, and keeping in mind I hate cookie cutter stories. The actual delivery of this particular piece was on point. Unfortunately this is one of the situations where I broke my rule. I am unable to compare it to the book because when starting the show I didn't realize it was an adaptation of one. That being said the show was intriguing enough to cause me to want to read the series rather than waiting for a second season, and upon looking up when a second season was going to come up we found that this show had been canceled by netflix. While I realize I'm just a "Watcher" and while I don't fully understand the reason for it's cancelation. I would compel netflix to reconsider. In the age of the internet, when everything is available to everyone, it takes time for anything of quality to gain traction, and this show has great quality. I already recommended it to my sister before finding out it was canceled. I can almost guarantee she would recommend it to at least six others and after I play it for my teenagers I can say that all of their friends will be watching it within the week. Though before my husband randomly decided to turn it on, I had never heard of Lockwood and Co. Being a large book buff, this is rare for me. But I am sticking to Stephen King this year. I hope to read the series next year, and I hope Netflix or another network picks it up for a second season. If any show deserves one, it's Lockwood and Co. It's the most captivating thing I've watched since Sweet Tooth.
