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.
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.
Fast-paced and really well-written! This show has made me think in a number of different ways, and that’s a good thing. I highly recommend this podcast!
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.
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.
Season 1 was an edge of your seat, thought provoking thrill ride. Season 2 was hot garbage. That is not an exaggeration. the plot was slow and plodding, it destroyed well laid plot lines from season 1 with no meaningful payoff or replacement, and indulged in deconstructing central season 1 characters for obvious power fantasy self-inserts. I would say the writers need to go back to school, but there’s only so much education can do. Listen to the first season, then write/imagine your own resolution to the plot. Trust me, you can’t do worse.
