Listen, book!Lockwood who is so repressed that it just translates to beaming smiles has a special place in my heart, but at the same time I cannot stress how much I appreciate the live action series for showing us unbelievably exhausted Lockwood whoās so obviously scared that Lucy and George will eventually leave (willingly or otherwise) but still has the gall to push them away. My boy was barely pulling it together. And ofc he would be so tired that the bags under his eyes are so prominent because weāre outside of Lucyās POV now. Lucy whoās always had rose-colored glasses when it comes to him.
Speaking of Lucy, I really do love how she calls him out. Sheās so aggressive with her love. Itās like sheās demanding that George and her will love and care for him and thereās absolutely nothing Lockwood can do about it so he just better shut up and take it. Peak found family right there.
How that scene where Lockwood comes to apologize to Lucy in the kitchen had so much āhusband in the doghouseā vibes, and how ultimately what Lucy is really mad about is just her wanting Lockwood to value his life more. And for Lockwood to outright admit that yeah he was a bit suicidal but itās a bit like he found a new reason for living because of Lucy and George, again I say PEAK FOUND FAMILY, this is my jam. The ease of which Lucy being Lucy calms him down. (Ugh, again the domesticity of choosing egg cups). He canāt stand when sheās mad at him and he learns about apologizing properly this time around, but when she wordlessly forgives him, you can see on his face how he could fall so quickly and deeply in love with her. Thatās one thing I love so much about the live action series. While the book showed us more of Lucyās feelings for Lockwood, I actually think the series highlights Lockwoodās feelings more in that if I hadnāt read the books beforehand, I could have easily seen it as Lockwood falling first. His abandonment issues are so prominent in the series and while they play it with humor with Fittes and Kipps, you can just see that desperation behind the lighthearted tone, and for Lucy to say that she chooses Lockwood and George anywayā¦.!
This is basically an excuse to ramble about the little things they add in the series that I love so much, which works because weāre not restricted to Lucyās POV, in no particular order:
How Flo can immediately see how Lockwood feels about Lucy because of the effect she has on him. Prior to that statement, sheād only met Lucy once before, but that brief meeting told her everything she needed to know. She probably knew Lockwood in the aftermath of his familyās death, so for her to see Lockwood just buttering someoneās else toast for them and being all domestic and smiley, treating another person like a family member especially considering how guarded he is, she must have thought (and rightly so) that meeting Lucy made him have an appetite for life again.
We actually get to see Fittesā and Lockwoodās side of the fight! And it was awesome. āIām Anthony bloody Lockwood.ā I can no longer remember if that line was in the book or not but idc I love it.
George and Lucyās scene was in the book, but the acting in the series just really sold it for me. How Lucyās heart just broke hearing George talk about himself, especially everything he said then were feelings Iām sure sheās also had about herself. I seriously loved that last episode. George and Lucy were adorable. Again I say, found family ftw.
The rise of the Flo x George ship! āYou, me, and herons!ā Again I say, adorable.
There are some elements that work better in book format, but in many ways the tv series really did elevate this beloved book series. It was a wonderful, wonderful adaptation. As a reader, I couldnāt be more satisfied. As a shipper, I couldnāt be more ecstatic.
