I love audio dramas and this one is excellent. The topic is very relevant and the voice acting stellar. I’m really looking forward to season 2.

I listened to this riveting podcast to hear the performance of my favorite actor CLANCY BROWN! Unfortunately Clancy turns out not to be the main villain. Honestly all the cast did an amazing job, I came to really like the character Phil while Damien held the story together. I felt like Miranda and Phil sounded too similar and it was hard to tell them apart. The story is very relevant and intriguing in our current days of AI. Still, I felt it somehow didn’t push far enough in the way of intellectual discussion. It kind of switched genres in the middle and went from Sci-Fi to Thriller. I don’t usually listen to podcasts, I’m an audiobook girl so I was pleasantly surprised with how gripping and suspenseful this was. It felt the same like watching a tv show. If you like Minority Report, 2001 or For All Mankind you might like this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Ad Lucem" is an outstanding masterpiece of science fiction, captivating from start to finish with its innovative ideas, rich world-building, and gripping storytelling. One of the most impressive aspects of Ad Lucem is its exploration of the ethical dilemmas that arise when technology blurs the lines between reality and human connection. This podcast provides a fresh perspective on the subject matter, leaving listeners with plenty to ponder long after the episode has ended. Highly recommended for all sci-fi enthusiasts!👍👍👍👍👍

This is a riveting story, but it needs to have a content warning included in each episode description. It deals with some very heavy content (SA, child endangerment, etc) that can be difficult for some people to unexpectedly listen to.
