    WTF happened to this show??
    This used to be an amazing format with interesting stories. Yeah, the production value wasn't all that great, but at least the stories were interesting. For season two, it's like they spent so much time on the graphics and overblown production, they forgot to make the stories interesting. I don't know how they chose these particular tales, but they have destroyed what made the original version of the show so creepy. And that was the fact that the stories themselves were real and relatable, and they left room for your interpretation of the facts. Leaving the conclusion to our imaginations was one of the things that made it so chilling and clever. Season two makes no room for the viewers. It lays it all out for you and ends each story with a conclusion. And I hate that.

    I really miss the old version and Mahnke's narration, too. He wasn't the best voice in the business, but he was personable. His narration drew you in and felt more intimate than just watching another crappy horror anthology. It's what made Lore unique.

    These episodes have just gotten more absurd as I've progressed through the season. And not once have I been creeped out by any of this. One of the things I felt was the most chilling about the first season was that it didn't focus on paranormal events or supernatural ideation; it focused on the horrors mankind is capable of and presented documented facts to back up each story. That was what was so scary... that humans can be so twisted and evil. This season is all about finding the weirdest, most common campfire tales and over-producing them by throwing on conjecture and fancy, then trying to sell it to the audience as plausible and real. I swear to god, when I watched the clock episode, I was actually swearing at the screen over how stupid it was.

    I don't know why or how Lore lost its way... but I hope it comes back to us next season.
