	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Dull re-enactments leach the horror from real stories."	NEU
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The pleasure of a podcast comes in listening, and 'Lore' is at its best at its most podcast-esque, when [Aaron] Mahnke is speaking, his delivery yet dry and neutral."	POS
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"There's nothing really supernatural about 'Lore', and such is its charm (...) The obscure, arcane historical nuggets Mr. Mahnke scatters throughout are also fascinating."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"'Lore' is a very successful podcast, but its televised adaptation does very little to earn the new medium."	NEU
United States	Bryan Bishop The Verge	"'Lore' is disturbing, but it’s also thoughtful and revealing. In that sense, it proves the worth of scary stories and folklore"	POS
United States	David Griffin IGN	"It’s difficult to not get sucked into the world of 'Lore' (...) It is a wonderful piece of entertainment for horror fans and casual viewers alike"	POS
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"The majority of each episode consists of uninspired reenactments full of expository dialogue"	NEG
