More Critic Reviews for Lore Season 1 All Critics (23) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (8) Adapted for television from a popular podcast - the first time I've written those words; no doubt, not the last - Aaron Mahnke's Lore is worth a look. Oct 19, 2017 | Full Review… Justin Burke The Australian Top Critic Such effective audio storytelling already left its mark on the podcast world, and the Amazon adaptation doesn't elevate things at all. If anything, it's less effective because you can't watch it in your car or while out for a jog. Oct 13, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic If you like your terror TV served up with some dark and disturbing flourishes, "Lore" will leave you screaming for more. Feb 27, 2018 | Full Review… Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer Lore almost plays like an educational program - and that's what makes it so terrifying. Dec 19, 2017 | Full Review… Jade Budowski Decider The idea behind this anthology series is so good, it's a shame the result is this dull. Dec 29, 2017 | Full Review… Steve Murray ArtsATL An interesting but unspectacular addition to the horror genre, Lore, perhaps, works best in its original form. Oct 23, 2017 | Full Review… Devarsi Ghosh Scroll.in Cate Shortland's survival story is like a pastoral Come And See, capturing the refugee experience as a haunted memory through rich, impressionistic visuals. Nov 2, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Simon Crook Empire Magazine Top Critic For the most part, the stories never stand entirely on their own. They never stray far enough from Mahnke's steady narration to become an absorbing episode of television on their own. Oct 16, 2017 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant Adapting podcasts for TV is an admittedly new and difficult challenge, but hopefully the next show to attempt it takes advantage of the lack of precedent and tries something a little more novel. Oct 14, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Katie Rife AV Club Top Critic Lore is great viewing for people who like to mesmerize (or alienate) people at cocktail parties with sinister chatter about weird happenings, even if drags at some points.
