    Good but not the same - the narration is missing!!

    I really enjoyed the first season. The narration, the music, the graphics. It was all so good!! This episode was really interesting but without Aaron Mahnke's narration it's just not the same! That's what made Lore so special. It wasn't just the acting. It's the explanation, background and context that was giving to the viewers. The writing on the screen can't replace that. I will continue to watch the second season but I think they made a huge mistake when they dropped the narration, which is probably why the show got canceled. Such a shame! It's such a missed opportunity! Lore really is a unique and interesting show, especially for horror fans. Maybe Prime Video can bring it back one day for a third season? I really hope so!! :(

    What happened?

    I really enjoyed Season 1, both the narration and the music. Now they've dumped the narration and they're playing hard rock under a story set in the 1820s. Really throws me out of the era and that light creepy underscoring from season 1 really worked!

    Not like season one

    I'm a big fan of the podcast and of season one and everything else Aaron does. But this episode just did not hold my interest at all . I don't even know if the topic of this episode could be considered "lore". It didn't feel like a lore episode. Actually worried about this season now .

    Nice

    First episode of the second season that identifies a colossal change of the series that in my opinion impoverishes it a lot, apart from this, however, the episode is very beautiful and valid and entertains a lot.

    I disagree with removal of Narration.

    Aron's Narration brought to show more than just drama, it was like a watching history happen. The haunting music in season one gave a more "how do I say it, a lore like feeling". Now the same data is displayed as text in the show.. I would have loved the narration. But many don't like it.. I can see why, they want to be there in midst of lore rather than being told about it.. I still like this Show and series, Just miss some of the Narration..
