What happend to narrator? Couldn't even get into watching going to try other episodes. I was so excited to watch season 2. I'm just bummed out that it's totally different! Please go back to season 1 format that was a whole lot more entertaining this just makes it like every other show...
It's not as captivating without Mahnke's narration. Will not be finishing this season.
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.
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
What happened to the narration? We miss it, that's what made it different and more than a plain old dramatization. Husband only made it halfway through one episode, and he refuses to watch the rest. I committed to 2 episodes but just NOT feeling it. Production value has gone way up, but at what expense? We loved the narration, the history, the animation and the music choices, all which now appear to be gone. Please bring back what fans loved!
