Netflix fans ‘too scared to sleep’ after watching new show Lockwood and Co
NEFTLIX fans have been left “too scared to sleep” after watching new show Lockwood and Co.
Initial reviews on Twitter branded it “top-tier scary” just weeks after its release on the streaming platform.
One particular scene sending shivers down fans’ spines is a haunting procession of chanting ghost monks.
Netflix viewer Fran confessed: “Episode 3 really had me pooping my pants. Nasty nightmares I had.”
Simona on Twitter echoed: “Warning! Ep.3 is FREAKING CREEPY and scary. But so good. Don’t give up.”
Set in Britain, Lockwood & Co is about a supernatural detective agency fighting an epidemic of ghosts that kill humans by touching them.
Dashing hero Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman), along with his friends George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati) and Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes) band together to fight the ghosts, whose touch brings death, all the while competing with other supernatural agencies.
Lockwood & co is based on the book series written by Jonathan Stroud.
It was released on Netflix last month, and one another viewer raved: “Just started lockwood & co. and ill be sending every single person who recommended me this show a therapy bill for not warning me how scary it is IM SO BAD WITH GHOSTS.”
Despite amazing reviews, Lockwood & Co has suffered a low viewership – leaving its loyal fans worried it might be cancelled.
Another person expressed on Twitter: “Okay, #LockwoodandCo is utterly fabulous. So entertaining. Trying not to get too attached, Netflix has canceled too many fantasy shows already.”
And one more ranted: “I hate that you can’t just enjoy a great new series like #LockwoodandCo on Netflix because you also have to worry that it will likely be canceled after that one season.”
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Lately, fantasy-themed shows have been getting the boot on Netflix.
Back in January, the show Titans was booted off the streaming platform, coming to an end after its fourth season.
HBO Max confirmed the news along with the announcement it is also cancelling another DC Universe show, Doom Patrol.
