Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 6.9 out of 10 from audiences and a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Castle Rock or American Horror Story, start here.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 40 minutes, about 8 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

This anthology series brings to life Aaron Mahnke's titular podcast and uncovers the real-life events that spawn our darkest nightmares. Blending reenactments, animation, archive and narration, Lore reveals how our horror legends – such as vampires, werewolves and body snatchers – are rooted in truth.
