Season 1 Review: It all comes together spookily well, with Lore resembling nothing more than six late-night trips to the campfire for some splendidly spun creep-out stories. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Murder shoudln't be "fun" to watch, yet Lore is strangely engrossing. [19/26 Oct 2018, p.89]

Season 1 Review: The show sometimes relies too much on the power of its actors to bring home the reality of its horror, and this doesn’t always work--but when it does, it works very well. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This series wants to be informative. It can entertain with its information, but the audience has no investment in what’s going on beyond curiosity, and live-action scenes take you out of what’s happening more than it endears audiences to the real people. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The majority of each episode consists of uninspired reenactments full of expository dialogue explaining the thought process behind decisions like digging up your dead daughter and turning her ashes into a tonic for your ailing son to drink. The idea of otherwise reasonable people doing irrational things out of fear is certainly an intriguing one. But surely there must be better ways to convey that than inert dialogue scenes.

Season 1 Review: As a visual series, it is stuck between the bulky, stiff material plane and the ethereal, failing to successfully transform into something at least as powerful, if not stronger, than what it already is. Read full review

Season 1 Review: When Amazon’s Lore allows Mr. Mahnke to just tell a story, it’s pretty compelling. But when the show dives into dramatic re-creations of stories, Lore generally falters. Read full review

Season 1 was the best horror show I ever watched. With Aaron Mahnke giving the narration and explaining about everything, it was informative and thrilling to watch. I was left asking for more. I had never been so intrigued by things that happened in real life.

Season 2, on the other hand,Season 1 was the best horror show I ever watched. With Aaron Mahnke giving the narration and explaining about everything, it was informative and thrilling to watch. I was left asking for more. I had never been so intrigued by things that happened in real life.

Season 2, on the other hand, is just any overrated horror show. No narration, no information, no origin explanation of popular horror stories. It even glorified the superstitions instead of explaining them, something which Season 1 was clearly against. It didn't even seem like both these seasons are of the same show. It's like the makers of Season 2 hadn't even watched the Season 1 of their own show.… Expand
