For Season 3 though, these moments were obvious and predictable as characters made poor decisions leading to the villains gaining an upper hand, or hesitating over clear decisions that needed to be made. In previous seasons I’ve lavished praise on the writing of Locke and Key for this exact thing. Another element where the show fell short was its ability to create thrilling and tense moments. There were several moments where the story begins to ignore its own rules regarding the magic plot points previously established with more focus on the larger narrative. Whereas the current season is flooded with the feeling of finality to the point of corner cutting. The first two seasons were ambitiously funded and had plot points that were nicely fleshed out and played to the character’s strengths, creating great tension and emotive performances. That being said, it does fall short overall in comparison to the prior two seasons. The tone is significantly more jolly, even with the lack of Tyler around the house. Locke & Key Season 3 was definitely an enjoyable story with its focus on what appears to be a more pleasant experience for the characters given the tragic events they’ve all suffered through. And even Duncan battles with his return to Key House, his lack of memories, and the pain it causes. For Kinsey, her loss is tethered to the manner in which her father died, which results in an overwhelming sense of depression and being engulfed by fear. For their mother Nina Locke ( Darby Stanchfield), she’s struggled to come to terms with the loss of her husband while battling her alcoholism. The loss of a loved one is such a deeply personal and potent emotion, and in every season so far we’ve seen that these characters, at their foundation, are dealing with a variety of forms of grief. Locke and Key Season 3 picks up a lot of the threads that have been laid down in the previous stories which deal with the grappling of loss and the grieving process. She enacts one final destructive plan, to free the echo of Captain Gideon, who is the host of one of the most powerful demon entities from their realm. The Locke’s finally remove the demon leaching on the soul of Lucas/Dodge and the remaining invaders, but Eden escapes. With the knowledge of how to create new keys, Tyler was able to remove the demonic possession with the use of the alpha key, but with devastating effects that kill both the host and the invading organism. In Season 2, Dodge ( Griffin Gluck, Laysla De Oliveira, Felix Mallard) raised an army using his newly forged demon key crafted under duress by Duncan Locke ( Aaron Ashmore) whose memories had been restored, and the age restriction of being able to recall magical events was removed with the help of the memory key. Their goal is to rule our dimension and subjugate humanity. The keys attract a monster in hiding as the family discovers the keys are made from demonic parasites with the ability to latch on to human hosts. Key House is a lot more than it appears and siblings Bode ( Jackson Robert Scott), Kinsey ( Emilia Jones), and Tyler Locke ( Connor Jessup) begin to locate various magical keys with unique and distinct powers hidden in their new home. Written and developed by Carlton Cuse, and Meredith Averill, based upon the IDW comic from Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, Locke and Key is a coming-of-age story about the Locke family who, after their father’s murder, moves back to his ancestral home in Matheson, Massachusetts. Now that he has been freed, his rage has been untethered and he’s turned his malevolent intentions upon this mortal realm and the Locke family. When last we were at Key House, Eden ( Hallea Jones) had released the echo of former British Captain Frederick Gideon ( Kevin Durand), the first human to discover the black door and the first human to be possessed by a demon from the unknown. Locke and Key Season 3 returns to Netflix for the final time as the show leads up to its eventual series finale.
