Happy Valentine’s Day! Are you planning on doing anything fun this weekend?
It’s the second Friday of the month so that means it’s time for my Glossies Made Me Do It post, where I talk about what magazines have inspired me lately. If you have your own post, link up below!
Glossies: February 17 issue of People Magazine
I love People magazine. Yes, there’s plenty of celebrity news, but it’s also full of reviews, everyday people, and more. In the February 17 issue, one of their recommendations for the week is the new Netflix show Locke and Key. I’m a huge fan of the Locke and Key graphic novels by Joe Hill, and while I’d already seen the show was premiering, People magazine gave me a push to check out the first episode.
Glossies Made Me Watch It: Locke and Key
I’ve only watched the first episode so far, which is almost an hour long. There are a total of ten episodes, so I hope to do an overall review once I’ve watched the whole season. However, I have to say that the first episode was really good. It sucks you in right away and it definitely doesn’t leave you hanging for any action or mystery. There’s plenty of that to go around, and I’m so curious to see how the rest of the episodes continue the story.
It’s been awhile since I’ve read the graphic novels, so I can’t really compare the two, but it feels fairly close to the books. Besides that, it was partly written for the screen by Joe Hill, the actual author of the graphic novels so that’s a plus!! I think the actors are fantastic, especially the three that play the Locke children: Jackson Robert Scott (Bode), Emilia Jones (Kinsey), and Connor Jessup (Tyler). Jackson Robert Scott actually played Georgie in the remake of the movie IT, so he’s well-versed in the world of the King men (Stephen King is the father of Joe Hill).
Have you watched any of Locke and Key yet? What about the graphic novels? I can’t wait to continue the show, and again, I’ll be sure to share my full thoughts then!

I haven’t heard of it!
I saw the preview for this & didnt even know what its about. I’ve saved it though
I am so behind on all things entertainment, I hadn’t heard of this! It sounds like it’s pretty good though! I should really pick up a People and read it, lol!
I LOVED the first season!! I think they did a lovely job adapting the comics. I do wish it was darker, but I get why they left it a little lighter to reach a broader audience. I can’t wait to see the next season! 🙂
I’ve seen the previews but haven’t watched it yet. I hope to maybe this weekend.
Karen @ For What It’s worth
I enjoy People Magazine and I love binging on Netflix! I haven’t seen Locke and Key, so I’ll have to check it out!
Wait, I didn’t even know about this! This is super cool, especially since I am always looking for new shows. Thank your for sharing this with us!
I saw a few of these earlier in the week my accident as others were watching them and I couldn’t help but catch what was going on. It’s not my kind if thing but it seemed like an interesting concept! the lady in the well creeped me out though.
LOCKE AND KEY is on my watch list. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the first episode!
I hadn’t heard of the series before I noticed it in my list of Netflix recommendations last night so I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far. It sounds good so I’ll probably check it out at some point.
I haven’t heard of these books, Lauren. Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son? Wowa, those should be awesome books. Also, love an adaptation that the author has created. This is one I’ll watch for on Netflix! Thanks for sharing your Glossies inspired post 🙂
I’ve been really curious about Locke and Key, but I’m worried it’ll be too spooky for my tastes! I look forward to reading your review once you’ve finished the first season. 🙂
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? ?
I’ve heard of this but had no idea what it was. I’ll have to check it out now.
I didn’t realize that it was graphic novels and I’m actually trying the TV show
I’ve seen some adverts for the series, but never knew about it being graphic novels first. Hope the rest of the series is wonderful! 🙂
I really want to give this tv show a try, just wondering if I should read the graphic novels first…
I love the graphic novels, and it might fill things in more, but I’ve been hearing the show does well adapting it!
I have not heard of this, but it looks entertaining!! I always like to read the books first, tho!

I’ve been seeing these trailers and have been growing more and more curious about it. I’ll keep an eye out for your rveiews.
I’ve never read the graphic novels, but have been curious about the tv show. I’ll have to give it a try.
I know graphic novels are so popular right now and my students loved them while I was still working. They did get reluctant readers reading!! But I struggled to know where to begin reading when there are several dialog bubbles in an image or frame. Guess that’s the old lady in me. I wrote my Glossies post but see the link has closed. Sorry I didn’t get it done sooner.
I watched the first episode a few weeks ago and I liked it but I wasn’t blown away. I haven’t watched any more of it. I think it’s a show I’ll have on standby when I can think of nothing else to watch because the premise is quite interesting! I kept calling that kid Georgie because of IT, haha. I hope you enjoy the rest of it, Lauren!
