Lore

It's not as captivating without Mahnke's narration. Will not be finishing this season.

Recently re-watched "Un-boxed" from the first season. Still my favorite. Creepy story about Robert the doll woven through the story of the Island of the Dolls, a very strange Russian doll collector and even touched on Reborns. Fascinating So far in Season 2, I fell asleep during Burke and Hare (master grave robbers/salesmen.) Even Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley, couldn't keep me awake. I got bored with Elizabeth Bathory even though I know her chilling story...I wasn't chilled. No more Lore for me

I didn't love his narration but to me it is necessary in something like this. The removal of it is a bad choice. I wasn't bored at all in the entirety of S1 but halfway through the first episode of S2 and it's just not interesting. This show should be documentary-like, not just short films. If this is the way they want to do the show, that's fine, but I'm not going to keep watching.

I really loved the first season the way it was made was different to usual programmes on TV or streaming. I couldn't wait for the second season. When I watched it, it was like a completely different programme I did watch it all very quickly as I did season one, however I prefer the original format it gives much more back story. Highlight of season two was Elizabeth Bathory it was really well portrayed and is a really creepy story I enjoyed this episode more than all the others on season two. Would love to see another season with a mix of the two formats maybe.

I loved Season 1, despite the narration, which I found to be in stark contrast to the tone of the heart of the show. When I moved on to Season 2, I am finding it was an important part! It is now sorely lacking due to the lack of narration and important lead-in and backstory, but I am most disappointed in the abundance of very poor accent imitations by characters, poorer acting, and overacting. I know I'm in the minority wanting the narration back, but now to me it's like watching a poorly made late-night movie with no name actors. I'm truly saddened by the changes.
