Locke & Key (2020 - )

The adventures of a family that moves into the house where their deceased father grew up, a house that hides magical keys which make various possibilities real.

A fantasy series similar to the Narnia universe but much darker, which incorporates authentic teenage experiences at least up to a certain point. Its mythology is interesting enough to excuse some of the series weaker points and the big bad villain is well imagined and original. The characters are varied and charismatic, with the expected boldness and curiosity, or at least the right extenuating circumstances appropriate to the situation, making the series easy to follow without it becoming boring.
