Netflix subscribers cannot get enough of a fantasy horror series that has them hooked from episode one.

You really are spoilt for choice on the popular streaming platform when it comes to fantasy.

But one series that a lot of Netflix subscribers are loving right now is Locke & Key.

With three seasons on the streamer, fans have a lot of content to watch.

So, what exactly is Locke & Key about?

Well, an official synopsis for the series reads: "After their father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the three Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father's death."

The series stars the likes of Connor Jessup, Emilia Jones, Darby Stanchfield, Jackson Robert Scott and Laysla De Oliveira.

Locke & Key is the current talk of the town on Facebook's 'Netflix Bangers', as one user asked fellow Netflix subscribers what their thoughts on the series are.

"It's a really good show and keeps you entertained throughout..must watch!" one person penned.

"Great watch, it's also in my opinion fine to watch with teens. A new kind of semi haunted house with magic/entities," a second added while a third remarked: "Brilliant, think I'll watch it from the start again."

However, not everyone is a fan, with a fellow Netflix Bangers user commenting: "Watched a few episodes of it and just couldn’t get into it. Since the main characters are children, it felt very G rated to me."

Locke & Key sits at a respectable 68 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes from its three seasons.

As for them individually, season one has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 65 percent, while season three has an ever lower score of 55.

It's season two of the fantasy horror that fans and critics love, sitting at an impressive 85 percent score on the review site.

Regarding season two, Chelsie Derman, from The Young Folks, wrote: "Some shows out there you may like but not love because the content misses a special quality, a special charm. Locke and Key Season 2 has that special charm, with enough entrancing magic to lure you in."

While IGN's Rafael Motamayor penned: "The second season of Locke & Key starts off darker and more focused than its predecessor, with more horror imagery and a terrifying villain, while still finding time for a poignant story of memories and growing up."
