After the tragic loss of their father, the Locke family move into his childhood home. A house full of mystery uncovers many secrets and truths unveiling the past, a house full of magic brings them together. Helping three lost souls come to grips with the past whilst consulting the future.
One thing I loved was how subtly disabled characters were present.
Despite whispering keys being in residence they have no effect on the Locke's grounds keeper Rufus Whaldon, for whom they have no powers.
Sharing a love for action figures he and Bodie quickly become friends and along with his adoptive Mother Ellie they plan a way to defeat Dodge.
I talk alot but how important it is to cast authentic actors in the correct roles. Locke and Key's castings team did an amazing job at this Rufus's actor Coby bird also has autism and is a strong disability rights activist.
As is Eric Graise a amputee whose character Logan Calloway,
When questioned about wearing shorts whilst snow is falling. Logan responds with "Do my legs look cold to you"
Other sub plots covered in Locke and Key include. Nina's alcohol addiction which she again begins struggling with,Tyler shows signs of what could become an addiction problem. Also Loss,grief and PTSD along with teenage mental health especially within Kenzie's arc as she ventures back into her own head to bury her fear.
There's such a strong sense of family, there's moments where you think a Locke will spiral out of control. By leaning on each other they get through.
I hope you enjoyed this blog, I have struggled to complete this blog so I'm hoping it makes sense and explains well without giving anything away.
Thank you for reading.
