Locke and Key Season 3 does a pretty decent job of wrapping up the overarching narrative in a clean and crisp fashion. Go to Full Review Erin Maxwell LA Weekly/Village Voice 12/23/2022
In the end, the curtain draws for the Netflix series in a milquetoast final outing that wraps up the story but offers repetitious conflicts in a labored effort to reach a conclusion. Go to Full Review Cheryl Eddy io9.com 09/14/2022
The Netflix fantasy series bowed out with a mostly satisfying final season. Go to Full Review James Field Pajiba 08/29/2022
Locke & Key remains a shining example of missed opportunities. Unable to settle on a tone and burdened with some of the most nonsensical writing since Charmed was a thing, it reaffirmed why the Kings’ stories are so much better on paper than screen.

At its heart, Locke & Key is supposed to be a dark tale of suspense-driven horror. And while the previous two seasons managed to capture that essence, the third season doesn’t. Instead, it rewards the Lockes with happy endings Go to Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) 08/16/2022
2.5/5
The final season of Locke and Key has some moments where the story is intriguing and even tense, but unfortunately, the show resolves all of the conflicts before they can become engaging, creating a very rushed pace. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gustavo M @RT27603774 Aug 20 The first two seasons where fine but third season was a masterpiece of terrible writing Awful developed characters, a mother figure as bad as the plot resolution, mostly stupid people making the worst choices that anyone could think of See more Jonathan T @JJBlade 05/08/2025 Fantastic show. Wish there was a season 4. See more Natnael B @RT74591843 06/19/2024 Annoying 18's villain i hated the villain even though i like kevin durand. Overall lost the first season magic, but still not bad as the reviews showed, the ending was good. See more Leo N @RT20931872 04/27/2024 Still kind of enjoyable but plot is a bit lame. See more Bob L @RT76975801 04/22/2024 By season 3, it's clear that this stupid family should be the last ones on Earth trusted with any if these keys. They just get stupider by the episode, not retaining any strategic knowledge or even savvy enough to install a home security system after a dozen break-ins. Instead, crank up the hormones and teen angst. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 01/06/2024 Season three of Locke & Key is a noticeable improvement over the messy second season, but it never fully recaptures the spark that made the first season so compelling. The story feels more focused, with clearer stakes and a stronger push toward finality, giving the characters more room to breathe and react with intention. Emotional beats land better, and the cast seems more confident, especially when dealing with loss, responsibility, and the consequences of earlier mistakes. That said, the damage from season two lingers. Some arcs feel rushed, and certain resolutions arrive too neatly, lacking the weight they should carry. While the ending provides closure and a sense of completion, it doesn’t deliver any truly standout or unforgettable moments. Season three works as a serviceable conclusion, but it feels restrained, closing the door quietly rather than slamming it shut with impact. See more Read all reviews
