the fuck netflix tag

Lockwood & Co fans 🤝 Shadow and Bone fans

I watched the first episode of The Night Agent while I was painting my nails this evening and it is like, THEE most trope-y thing of "woman nearly dies over something she's accidentally tied up in and has no idea what's going on, but a calm and collected under pressure dude helps her through it and even though she's been warned not to trust anyone, she's decided to trust him because otherwise she's alone".

But consider this, I LOVE this trope and I am already strapped in, on board, ready to eat this up.

Like, oh you're gonna be absolutely in control over the phone and talk this lady through where to hide and keep checking in to make sure she's okay? You're gonna keep her safe when people jump out to attack you? You're gonna try and keep her calm while people are shooting at you and gently bandage her minor wound afterwards? You're gonna stay because she asked you to? Because it makes her feel safe? All in the first episode?!?! Sign me TF up. I can't wait until we get to the point where HE gets injured trying to save her and she has to help bandage HIS wounds. Top tier tropes for sure. Love this for me. Sorry I watched The Bourne Identity 700 times as a teen as if it's my fault that movie is a banger.

no, you don’t but he will look after you anyway

I agree with everything that was said and have nothing to add😅. NETFLIX I NEED SEASON 2

If you have ever thought about watching Lockwood & Co. on Netflix, even in passing, please do so! Right now! This is your sign, it's the perfect time!

I apologize for being the asshole who cross-tags, I swear it's not normally me. But hear me out, I mean this with my chest: if you're someone who enjoys the YA genre whatsoever - especially when it comes to ~a group of young people~ banding together to ~fight off supernatural threats~ - then Lockwood & Co is perfect for you! (see I'm doing you a favor, just trust me😂)

It's about ✨the unique characters, the found family, the mysteries, the worldbuilding, the slowburn, the vintage/modern aesthetic, the soundtrack, the cluttered kitchen coziness, the cinematography, the attention to detail, the layers and nuanced storytelling!!!✨ It's literally the most captivating YA-led show I've ever seen, and I'm a big fan of Stranger Things and Shadow & Bone.

It's the character work in Lockwood & Co that makes it stand out from the rest. The main trio fills the hole in my heart. They're so unique and flawed and SHAPED, and the way they interact/work together is like crack for your soul. It's ridiculous how addicting their dynamic is.

Let's see what Twitter has to say...

This show heavily features themes of finding a family and a reason to live & die because of the home you've found with each other. I promise that you will fall in love with these precious, broken kids as quickly as I did.

Brief character descriptions under the cut, cause you're already this far, so why not?

This is Lucy Carlyle! She is wildly talented, takes no shit, and has suffered a lot in her past but holds so, so much capacity for loving others. She is sassy, practical, empathetic, and grounding.

This is Anthony Lockwood, aka tumblr babygirl who uses a facade of confident swagger to mask the well of pain he harbors underneath. He is charismatic, ambitious, reckless, and soft hearted.

And this is George Karim. He is the MOST precious bean who is a brilliant researcher, though struggles sometimes with feeling out-of-step. He is sarcastic, excitable, unashamed, and dedicated.

At the end of the day - all I can say is sorry for the brief invasion into your tag, but also THANK YOU for your consideration in reading this, and thanks in advance for checking out Lockwood & Co 😉💖✨ I cannot emphasize enough how much you won't regret it!

Headcanon that Tara's backstory is for real basically the backstory she gave the psychic guy Rand in The Future Job, but it goes a little more like this: Tara worked for the FBI but when she got diagnosed with a brain tumor they fired her and she had to come up with the money to pay for brain surgery somehow so she turned her training to the other side of the law. This is why she agrees to help the team and why Sophie asked her in the first place and it's also why she's so set on getting paid (she's never going to be that desperate ever again and if she gave up her law-abiding-ness for crime it's most definitely going to pay).

Just started reading it and love it already 💙

I need an Eliot hug right now.

I need Hardison to put his hand on my shoulder and give it a reassuring squeeze and a silly joke.

I need Parker to threaten bodily harm and have everyone chastise her for it.

I need a day with Sophie drinking tea.

I need a night sitting next to Nate as he listens to my problem.

I need a day where I play video games with Breanna and Harry.

I just- I need a day where it doesn't feel like I'm getting fired for doing my job.
