As soon as the Locke family shifts to a new home, kids Tyler (Connor Jessup), Kinsey (Emilia Jones) and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) unveil a mystery that the Locke family isn't ordinary. Uncle Duncan (Aaron Ashmore), who welcomes the trio along with their mother Nina (Darby Stanchfield), hasn't been to the Locke house either for a very long time. While the Lockes are trying hard to overcome the sudden death of father Rendell Locke (Bill Heck), they unlock some more secrets about their family. The Lockes move to a new place to overcome Rendell's demise, who was a counsellor in Tyler's school and was shot by Sam Lesser (Harrison Thomas).
House Locke is magical, and the town is filled with various rumours, including Rendell and his friends' sea-cave adventures. Yes, the series does have Celtic myths. A sea-creature, wizardry tidbits, and to top it all, a lot of spellwork to keep you hooked to the screen. Bode, the youngest of all, is at home while mum Nina is busy making the house a home, and the teen siblings are attending high school while dealing with teen issues. Bode discovers that the house is filled with keys to mysterious doors. Every key takes him an inch closer to a world of magic, which seems like the perfect bedtime story.
Yes, that's right. Every episode shows how playing around with things that you aren't aware of, especially without parental guidance, could be dangerous. Bode encounters some life-threatening incidents because of the Keys and its doors, and he is often warned by his teen siblings Kinsey and Tyler to stay away from the sorcery.
Seriously! Bode is truly brother goals! He is adorable, intelligent, extremely enthusiastic, and always alert and ready for whatever life is about to throw at him. From bringing Nina back to life, who enters the world of mirrors accidentally, to sticking with friend Rufus (Coby Bird) in bad times, Bode is the real hero. He is the first person to unveil the secret of the Locke house, and also meet Echo (Laysla De Oliveira), also the Well Lady (that's how Bode prefers to call her), who creates all the ruckus in the Locke family.
If you are in for a magical weekend, Locke and Key is surely worth binge-watching.
