Stop being too hard on yourself :
Ty, who is arguably the main character, struggles not just with who he is, but also with his father’s legacy. Rendall’s death haunts him with flashbacks and nightmares, and with others often comparing him with Ty. Regrets and guilt consume his thoughts and he has difficulty in putting the past behind him. It only leads to problems in his life and confusion in realising his purpose. It teaches us an important lesson that It’s good to contemplate and introspect but being too hard on oneself and carrying the weight of past regrets only creates self doubt and misery and hinders one’s growth.

Always be careful of who you trust:
Sometimes in life, the biggest betrayal can come from the people we hold so dear, which is a sad and a very relatable realization. The way the main antagonist of the show, Dodge, worms his way into the family’s trust, pretending to be a friend, without letting them know that he has a much older history with the family and Keyhouse itself teaches us this important lesson - never to trust anyone blindly.

Learn to bounce back from tragedies :
Life can be full of ups and downs and tragedies are inevitable. In the show, Bode faces more reality than perhaps someone that young should have to. But what we learn from this youngest, most energetic, adventurous and inquisitive character is his ability to bounce back from tragedy way faster than the grown-ups. Despite all the horrors and adversities, he still enjoys the pleasures of play. Troubles and misfortunes are a part of life, it’s how fast you recover and bounce back from them is what really matters.
