A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Holy cow….
This thing draws you in from the very first episode.
The author is a gifted storyteller. Her prose is fluid and effortless writing the way a natural dialogue would flow.
The storyline is gripping and compelling.
You know you’ve found a good podcast when the end of an episode sneaks up on you.
Highly recommended along with the other works from Observer Pictures

Logic is basically out the window in this fairly outrageous series that won’t have you asked “Whodunit” but WHY?!?!?! Character reactions, motivations and decision-making resemble nothing even close to real life and the action seems to take place in a world where law enforcement, communication red flags, news coverage and an understanding of the medical/therapeutic fields barely exist — but all are played with such seriousness that it’s incredibly fun to listen to. You may scratch your head multiple times— but you’ll laugh too. Irresistible.

Hands down couldn’t stop listening, I was hooked from the start and had anxiety about what would happen next at every single episode

As one who listen to this podcast during the Covid pandemic, the last thing I wanted to do was listen to a Nother apocalyptic or speculative fiction podcast. What a nice change. I truly appreciated the storyline and all of the work that went into this podcast; four seasons! I did find the characters a little entitled and whiny, particularly Porter but then that just means the suspension of disbelief was working really well. I would definitely listen to another podcast by this team and especially the creator of the podcast. Great job!
