Lore

Recently re-watched "Un-boxed" from the first season. Still my favorite. Creepy story about Robert the doll woven through the story of the Island of the Dolls, a very strange Russian doll collector and even touched on Reborns. Fascinating So far in Season 2, I fell asleep during Burke and Hare (master grave robbers/salesmen.) Even Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley, couldn't keep me awake. I got bored with Elizabeth Bathory even though I know her chilling story...I wasn't chilled. No more Lore for me

The show is based off of a podcast that has many followers and fans. The creator of the podcast narrated season 1 which was a nice carryover that fans enjoyed. People seemed to complain and they took him out of season 2. While the second season is well made and the stories great, but the lack of the origanal narrator is disappointing. It's just a generic dramatization now. They kept the title only, it's not the same show.

If you've ever listened to the Lore podcast, it has a certain flow to it. The stories are told so well that you can picture the events in your head. Part thriller + part history lesson = AWESOME Podcast. And that is how the first season of the Lore series on Amazon went. It was like seeing the podcast. In season two you immediately notice that something has changed, and not for the better. Prime took what was a great little weekly show and tried to make movies out of it. BIG MISTAKE. They made it boring and ridiculously SLOOOOW.

Watch the first few episodes of season one and the one of season two and you'll what I'm talking about. I still love the podcast and hope that someone just lets Aaron tell his own stories, in his own way - like a 'ripley's believe it or not' hourly show centered around man's creepy and often disturbing history.

I really loved the first season the way it was made was different to usual programmes on TV or streaming. I couldn't wait for the second season. When I watched it, it was like a completely different programme I did watch it all very quickly as I did season one, however I prefer the original format it gives much more back story. Highlight of season two was Elizabeth Bathory it was really well portrayed and is a really creepy story I enjoyed this episode more than all the others on season two. Would love to see another season with a mix of the two formats maybe.

What happend to narrator? Couldn't even get into watching going to try other episodes. I was so excited to watch season 2. I'm just bummed out that it's totally different! Please go back to season 1 format that was a whole lot more entertaining this just makes it like every other show...
