Like conductors of a symphony, Tonia Ransom and Jen Zink deliver masterstrokes that vibrate with dark and frightening intensity. "AFFLICTED" is utterly gripping, unapologetically brutal and nightmarishly powerful in every conceivable way. It is a show that feels like nothing else out there today. Every episode is filled with the haunting grandeur of Lovecraftian-like cosmic horror and madness, from a certain book bound in human flesh, to its Southern folklore setting. It is that rare type of show that feels like thousands of hours were invested into each and every single minute recorded, in order to make the world feel tangible and alive, to make these characters and moments feel just the same. A show that is so brilliantly crafted that we, the audience, can't help but feel like we're there, a part of it all. From the writing, sound design, diverse cast and crew, along with the supurb acting, "AFFLICTED" is a masterpiece of horror and storytelling.

★★★☆☆

I’m interested in what’s going on, but honestly the character dialogue and personalities just feel really stiff. It’s diverse, but awkward.
Like I’m glad there’s a bilingual doctor, but they may want to take more cues from the actress in this case since sometimes the writing sounds like a Spanish class video.
But I’m interested in the history they tease and I like the direction of the story. What’s the story of Abigail? How bad is this curse going to get? What are going to be the consequences of the actions of the ignorant?

★★★☆☆

This was actually entertaining. If you go into it with an open mind it naturally pulls you in. The zombie thing has been done many times, but the plot is still interesting. The distinct, diverse character voices made it easy to tell who’s talking, and the actors for August, Sheriff Bob, Hank, and Rhonda were very good. The rest were either a little over the top or couldn’t quite get into character fully. Many sounded like they were reading directly from a script. I think a bit more character development would’ve pulled us into the story even more. I didn’t know much about anyone, so it was hard to feel emotionally connected to them. And while the background effects were awesome, I’d probably tweak them down while the characters are talking so we can hear them a little better. Otherwise, bravo. Looking forward to seeing how this podcast continues to evolve.

★★★★☆

The writing, the acting, the sound design, it was all very good. But every so often there would be difficult to follow leaps in the narrative that made me feel like I missed something and a few voice actors sounded similar enough that I would get confused from time to time.

This was definitely good enough for me to want a season two, but I hope that because it’s an audio drama, they spend more time establishing characters first and talk us through any big changes, making sure any action is in the sound or dialogue

I thought they did a great job balancing the human story of the town with their mythos. They were establishing of this book that will no doubt appearing further seasons.

★☆☆☆☆

The premise is misleading and there’s so much going on without proper introductions to many of the characters that it becomes confusing and frustrating.

The Maria character is wholly unlikeable, I don’t know if that’s down to the writing or the actor, but I spent the entire series rooting for Rhonda to kill her.

The only episode I truly enjoyed was the historical, diary entry episode. If this had been about this family and their practice I would have thoroughly enjoyed it. But it wasn’t and I didn’t.

★★☆☆☆

There were a couple horribly executed accents. Too much assumed knowledge regarding “hoo doo”. The audio mixing is way off in parts, people crying or screaming and actual conversations going on but no way to hear them unless you want the crier to blow out your ear drums. Probably my biggest annoyance was the bad accent on a couple characters, I’d just cringe with every sentence.
