This ranges from small details like rooms having salt-sprinklers instead of water, and how it does not shy away from examining how children are exploited as workers within this universe, particularly alongside class issues. The world-building is carefully considered – the audience is guided through the world without any clunky exposition, and the show takes time to examine the effects a long-term ghost epidemic would have on the world. Lockwood & Co manages to avoid many of the typical YA fantasy show cliches.

The world-building is carefully considered – the audience is guided through the world without any clunky exposition Away from the control of unhelpful adults, the group begins to take on a number of cases to varying degrees of success. The series follows Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes) who, after an unfortunate encounter in her Northern hometown, moves to London and joins the Lockwood & Co agency, run by the charming but enigmatic Antony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman) and his friend George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati). Agencies of children are formed to spend their nights hunting these ghosts with rapiers and flares while they search for each ghost’s source to contain and destroy. Based on the book series by Jonathan Stroud, Netflix’s Lockwood & Co introduces the audience to an England 50 years into a deadly ghost epidemic known as ‘The Problem’, but the only people capable of seeing (and thus fighting) these ghosts are children.
