#LOCKE AND KEY SEASON 2 DEATHS FULL#
That conjecture leads Duncan to a better place - and more active role - in the season, and an opportunity for Ashmore to show what he’s capable of as an actor.Īs Duncan struggles in the space between remembering magic and rejecting it, Ashmore is faced with running the full gambit of emotional prowess. It’s all very much an allegory for losing one’s childlike sense of wonder the damage caused by the realities of adulthood, and what happens when we lose touch with our most innocent selves. The search for a way to remember magic does more than providing interpersonal conflict for Locke And Key’s characters - it drives much of the story, adding emotional gravitas as the kids struggle to hold on to the memories they’ve collected. LOCKE & KEY (L to R) DARBY STANCHFIELD as NINA LOCKE and BRENDAN HINES as JOSH BENNETT in episode 207 of LOCKE & KEY Cr.
It’s an intriguing curveball, pivoting the kids against a more ambiguous opponent in ways that both add intensity, and expand the world beyond the confines of Season 1’s conflict. Magic, it seems, threatens to ruin the Locke’s with its mere existence. While Dodge and Edin are certainly a threat, the danger stems beyond the demons from the black door, and instead, focuses much of its energy on a different type of villain. Locke & Key still fails to define what, exactly, Dodge is looking to gain from the keys, but the idea of being fueled by nothing other than pure chaos is equally intriguing as it is terrifying, and Gluck entirely understands the assignment.

Gabe’s good nature all but disappears in Kinsey’s absence, however, transforming him back into pure terror. He breathes new life into an arguably one-note character, and his moments with Kinsey play so earnest at times, it’s enough to make the audience second guess his motives. Gluck executes both with outstanding ease, giving nuance to Dodge in ways they previously lacked. One is the face of pure evil, while the other, is still Kinsey’s well-meaning boyfriend. Where Jones is able to play both versions of Edin - human and demon- maliciously, Gluck is faced with the task of portraying two very separate versions of Gabe. LOCKE & KEY (L to R) HALLEA JONES as EDEN HAWKINS and GRIFFIN GLUCK as GABE in episode 207 of LOCKE & KEY Cr. Gluck and Jones play their respective roles with utmost dedication, and the two are a perfect balance of comedy and horror dark and threatening when needed, comical and blundering, otherwise. 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.
#LOCKE AND KEY SEASON 2 DEATHS SERIES#
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.
