Starts off with a horror-mystery vibe, but settles into sci-fi mystery by the end of the first season. The story has a good balance between revealing information and leaving enough clues and questions to keep the listener invested. The plot gets complex at points but is easy to follow. Handles themes of personal agency while grappling with fear of fate and inevitability. Intergenerational connections of solidarity and trauma [between primarily cis women] and concern for future generations play significant roles in the narrative. Female solidarity is highlighted not only in the intergenerational aspect, but in the friendship(s) Helen forms, Sierra's wife's unflinching support, and Z's relationship with her AI. The character development is lovely and the actors convey emotion and embody their characters' strengths and fears well. Despite having only three main actors with a couple supporting roles, the cast feels larger; I especially loved how Helen did voices for her friends. The exploration of the 'ghosts' and their nature and interaction with the world is interesting.
I was worried for several episodes that the story was veering towards bio-essentialism despite its critiques of eugenics because much of the story hinges on mostly cis women having a certain ability, but there are some brief mentions of trans women and nonbinary people having the ability and its cause not being as straightforward as at first glance. Still, I would have liked to see more exploration of that nuance in such a feminist-leaning story.

The quality of the voice acting and sound design is great. Objectively, I think the writing is too. Sadly I couldn’t really get into the story, but I’m not a huge sci-fi/alternate universe lover so I’m not totally surprised by this. I made it into the last season, but gave up before finishing. If anyone out there is like me and more drawn into horror/creepy podcasts over sci-fi, definitely look into SPINES which is by the same person that did Mirrors. I LOVED that one.

This podcast went in a direction I wasn’t expecting, but I ended up really loving it. Not to mention the wonderful characters, artfully interwoven narratives and riveting storyline.

I’ve gone down the sci-fi audio drama rabbit hole this summer - listened to 20+ podcasts and this is in my top 5. Gripping and moving. Thank you to the creators!
