Reviews for "Lucy Worsley explores the role of folklore and superstition in the witch trials"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with this documentary. I was expecting a well-researched and insightful exploration of the witch persecutions, but instead, I felt like Lucy Worsley barely scratched the surface. The episodes were too short and lacked depth, and it felt like she was constantly rushing through the material. Furthermore, I found her overly dramatic portrayal and exaggerated expressions quite off-putting. Overall, I would not recommend this series to anyone looking for a comprehensive and captivating exploration of the witch persecutions.
2. Emily - 3/5 - While I appreciate the effort put into this documentary series, I found it to be quite underwhelming. The content presented by Lucy Worsley lacked originality and depth. It felt like a rehash of information that has already been widely covered in other documentaries and books. Additionally, Worsley's presentation style was overly theatrical and at times distracting. I had high hopes for this series, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. There are definitely better documentaries out there on the topic of witch persecutions.
