trashley22 Had zero expectations when we started watching this, and overall liked it. Didn't mind the narrator, but we're into that kinda voiceover thing ala Mysteries at the Museum or Ancient Aliens, so didn't find it off putting like so many other reviewers. Liked the structure of the stories as they mislead before getting to the point. Some stories were just more engaging than others, but we absolutely loved Black Stockings and Unboxed. Loved them so much we've played them for friends at our house and didn't mind rewatching those episodes several times. We already knew the background on some stories so those were less interesting to us, but overall a very well put together show with interesting animations/graphics and solid re-enactments. It's not like your watching a movie, it's more like watching an hour of tv on the History channel... but we like that kinda stuff! We hope the second season has more stories we've never heard of.
frex-09322 I have always felt bad about my feelings about the Lore podcast. The content of early episodes was fascinating, but the writing and vocal delivery of the podcast was so bad I had to stop listening. To be clear: I am not talking about not liking the "natural" voice of the host. I am talking about the annoying rhetorical affections that the host refuses to let go of, despite the fact that many of his potential fans find them strange and off-putting. Weird pauses, "You see?", and "x has a way of doing y" are deeply unfortunate features of every episode of the podcast. The podcast creator, instead of learning from criticism from the public, doubles down arrogantly and attempts to boost his ratings by soliciting fans to write positive reviews via his Twitter account.And so it is with the television show. No. It is even worse. I watched the TV series in the hope that it would bring the great content of the podcast to the screen without the bad writing and excruciating vocal affectations. I was disappointed. It is almost as though the visuals of the TV show were designed to exacerbate the very worst aspects of what could potentially be a great podcast. But the creator has no interest in changing or improving, and this TV show suffers--and suffers greatly--as a result. It is not worth your time.
amyoung-15596 I love everything Lore related. Heck I got a Prime subscription just to watch this show. Aaron is a master storyteller weaving tales with only bits in common into a thread of stories that entrance and educate. He takes the gruesome truths of reality and the mystical aspects of folklore and now adds fun and compelling audio/visual. While I can somewhat understand the reviews that call the TV show jumbled and half-finished, I argue that the entire feel of Lore has an open ended, incomplete aesthetic. There is no nicely tied up endings to the stories of Lore, that's what keeps us coming back. And to be fair, what were you expecting visually from the TV show. If it were solely live action reenactments it would feel slightly campy like Paranormal Witness, A Haunting, etc, and if it were only creepy cartoons, it would not hold the same emotional feel that we Lore listeners are desperately craving by having the stories played out in front of us. I think mixing the mediums is a great way to incorporate both the intense emotion of reenactments and the fun playful personality of Aaron. I applaud everyone involved for a truly unique and spooky experience. I will have to keep my Prime subscription if more Lore TV is made.
aduvall-200-975821 Well done! Huge fan of the podcast. Very impressed with the actors and production of this Amazon show. Great job Aaron! The animations are well done and the stories are told in such a way that you feel part of them. Looking forward to season 2 as I finished it off in 2 nights. Sometimes I miss the days of waiting a week for the next episode.
