Lore

The second season of "Lore" has noticeably shifted the focus. While the first season explored myths about the origins of all evil spirits (vampires, werewolves, and devil dolls), the second focused on historical legends and personalities. Bloody Bathory, Salem Witch, Prague Chimes (Orloy)... And not to say that the stories about them turned out to be wildly interesting, most of the information can be safely skipped if you know at least approximately what (about whom) it is about. Only one of the six stories turned out to be really interesting for me.

It would seem that if you take such pop stuff as Salem or Bathory, you have to at least give the author's view of history, something at least a little different from the generally accepted retellings of legends. But no, a dry retelling of well-known facts under a depressing video sequence. It was interesting with Orloy, because I didn't even know this story, but it's still terrible dryness.

But the story of Jack Parsons looks especially strange, forced and unnecessary. At least because there was already a good TV series about him this year ("Strange Angel"), in which his personality as a scientist, inventor, mystic and occultist, as well as curious views on the unknown, were revealed very decently. The Lore episode just took the very top, compressed it all into 40 minutes and gave out not even a semi-finished product, but some kind of insignificant stub.

This is really a creep series.

Oh, this desire of one person to own another as property, hiding behind superstitions and beliefs..

The season was very disappointing.
The series bribed with its documentary and artistic presentation, which was completely abandoned here. And the stories themselves were much more interesting.

I really feel sorry for Bridget:(
The series perfectly shows how stupid it is to believe old legends and fairy tales. Now, of course, people don't burn because of "witchcraft" and other things, but some still believe in exorcism and even perform rituals.
