8/10
Good episode but how accurate is it really?

I enjoyed this episode. The acting, costumes and atmosphere were all great. My issue here is that Lore is supposed to be based on actual people and events. While Elizabeth Bathory was indeed a real person and she is labeled by Guinness World Records as the most prolific female murderer, tales that she bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her youth, were generally recorded years after her death, and are considered unreliable. We simply don't know how many girls she tortured and killed or why she did it.

Also, I still miss the narration from the first season. It's just not the same without Aaron Mahnke's narration. He gave the viewers valuable information that cannot be replaced by a few lines on the screen.
