NEFTLIX fans have been left “too scared to sleep” and “s*****g their pants” after watching new show Lockwood and Co.
Initial reviews on Twitter branded it “top tier scary” just weeks after its release on the streaming platform.
Lockwood & Co was released in January and has been terrifying early viewers on Netflix
The spine-tingling series is about an epidemic of ghosts in Britain
One particular scene sending shivers through fans is of a haunting procession of chanting ghost monks.
Netflix viewer Fran confessed: “Episode 3 really had me pooping my pants.”
Simona on Twitter echoed: “Warning! Ep.3 is FREAKING CREEPY and scary. But so good. Don’t give up.”
Set in Britain, Lockwood & Co is about a supernatural detective agency fighting an epidemic of ghosts that kill humans by touching them.
Dashing hero Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman), and his friends George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati) and the psychic Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes) band together to fight ghosts, whose touch brings death, all the while trying to stay independent of other adult-run supernatural agencies.
Lockwood & co is based on the six book series written by Jonathan Stroud.
It was released on Netflix last month and one viewer said: “Just started lockwood & co. and ill be sending every single person who recommended me this show a therapy bill for not warning me how scary it is IM SO BAD WITH GHOSTS”
Another said: “I just finished watching Lockwood & Co. and now I don’t know if I still can sleep tonight.”
Despite rave reviews Lockwood & Co has suffered a low viewership on Neftlix, leaving its loyal fans worried it might be cancelled.
Another person expressed on Twitter: “Okay, #LockwoodandCo is utterly fabulous. So entertaining. Trying not to get too attached, Netflix has canceled too many fantasy shows already.”
And one more ranted: “I hate that you can’t just enjoy a great new series like #LockwoodandCo on Netflix because you also have to worry that it will likely be canceled after that one season.”
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Lately, fantasy-themed shows, like Lockwood & Co, have gotten the boot on Netflix.
Back in January, the show Titans was booted off the streaming platform, coming to an end after its fourth season.
It is a production of HBO Max in the US and airs on Netflix internationally.
Its current season has been divided into two parts but will now be coming to an end after being dumped from the streaming service.
HBO Max confirmed the news along with the announcement it is also cancelling another DC Universe show, Doom Patrol.
