My title really says it all. The shows premise is pretty simple. The episodes are detailed accounts of old folklore. It is part horror anthology, and part documentary miniseries. The host sounds young/inexperienced, but the stories are intriguing, and the acting and visuals are ok. Overall, it's very charming, and informative about why certain superstitions exist, and where they originated. At the beginning of every episode, the narrator gives an example of the superstition, and then tells a dastardly tale. He the bookends it at the end to inform how that tale applies to our modern day lore.
And then comes the 2nd season. It literally doesn't feel like the same show anymore. No intros about that particular superstition. No narration to keep you up to speed about the time period, and beliefs. No ending monologue to wrap it up. It's just a cinematic story of random stuff that may or may not have happened, with zero explanation. It The production values did go up slightly, so it visually looked a little prettier, but all of the soul of the series was just gone. I really have to assume that is why the 2nd season was it's last. My girlfriend just got hooked on this series, and I don't yet have the heart to tell her that it's going to fall off a cliff.
