    Lore Season 2 Changes Jarring and Disappointing

    I am beginning to think that the biggest mistake artists or producers can make is to listen to fans and let them influence creative decisions. As fans, we have no idea what we want. We are fickle and even worse, prone to complaining and nitpicking about everything - the more we like something, it seems the more likely we are to do this.

    I am beginning to think that the biggest mistake artists or producers can make is to listen to fans and let them influence creative decisions. As fans, we have no idea what we want. We are fickle and even worse, prone to complaining and nitpicking about everything - the more we like something, it seems the more likely we are to do this. It might be human nature. That said, here are some complaints about Lore Season 2.

    You know that horrible feeling you get when a favourite TV show or film series changes the actor playing a character you like? I didn't think that I would feel something similar to this with Lore...and yet that's exactly the way it feels to watch season 2.

    I really enjoyed the first season of Lore for three major reasons. First it was really great to see a top quality podcast get a television adaptation. Second, it was a real pleasure to see that Mahnke was so directly involved and to have his voice be a stylistic link between the different mediums. Third, the animation added a haunting dynamic to the show. If I had to add a fourth reason, it would be Robert Patrick.

    The second season, despite focusing on what I think are more compelling and interesting stories from the podcast and from history, feels like it is missing what made it unique and interesting. You notice the lack of variety the narration and animation gave to each episode. The re-enactments also become somehow cheapened now that they have to carry entire episodes alone...like melodramatic short TV movies. The acting, scene decorating and music are all still effective, but I found myself looking at it all a lot more critically with its new dramatic aspirations.

    I really hope that if they produce more seasons of the show they bring back the original style...otherwise I will probably stick to the podcast and recommend that others do the same.    … Expand

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