Limetown - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Formatted like investigative reporting, season 1 is a mystery/thriller with a reporter unraveling the mystery of a town that suddenly became a ghost town 10 years previously. The characters presented in the interviews are interesting and acted well, and the way the mystery builds over the course of the first season is engaging. Has some great twists and character moments; the first season's better than the second, which is partially a let down because it continues to build on rather than resolve the cliffhanger from the first season. I don't have a lot of hope that the overall story is going to be concluded.

This one introduced me to the concept of Audio Dramas, and from beginning to end- kept me riveted. I cannot recommend this podcast enough. If you want a truly well-thought out and well-made podcast, Limetown is for you. But little warning: It falls under the thriller/scary category. If you don't like scary things, this isn't the one for you.

I have to start this by saying, I 100% need to relisten to the second season because I became completely lost. Despite this, the series was absolutely amazing.
The plot/storyline had me completely invested the entire time, even leading me to finish the first season in one sitting! In addition to the superb plot, the casting and voices were AMAZING. I’m so impressed by this podcast’s voices. I’ve found that with drama podcasts like these, the voice acting is very often not the greatest, but this exceeded my expectations. I would 100% recommend this to anyone seeking a high stakes mystery thriller, but make sure you’re paying attention, it’s easy to get lost in the plot’s complexities.

So, so creative and compelling. This is absolutely incredible!! If you love serial, you will love this. First season is one of the best things I’ve ever heard!! I am completely blown away with the creativity in this show! I was totally sucked in. (I do agree with others that the ending/2nd season was a little unsatisfying... but honestly that kind of feels like the vein of the show, and the overall show was totally worth a little dissatisfaction at the end) highly recommend!!!

I agree with the criticism of season 2. First of all, this should be categorized under sci-fi, and second of all, this didn’t just have an unsatisfactory ending- it didn’t have AN ending. It just… stopped. I’d take a bad, unsatisfactory ending over no conclusion to the story or character trajectory at all. Season 1 was enough to make me listen to season 2, but if you appreciate good story-telling, you’ll be left unimpressed.

They need to say up front that this is a work of fiction, although it’s pretty obvious after about 15 minutes into the first episode. As a work of fiction (mystery/horror/whatever) it’s pretty silly. I stopped listening when it involved communicating telepathically with the pig. It’s also pretty obvious that the podcast is a vehicle used to hawk the author’s new book Don’t waste your time unless you enjoy this sort of tripe.
