Powerful story that weaves suspenseful horror adventure and deeply moving depiction of a person struggling with severe mental health and extreme isolation. Will appeal to any fans of horror and sci-fi dramas like The White Vault, Steal the Stars and The Waystation. Really hoping for a season 2!
Station Blue is just striking. The storytelling and acting are so raw. I felt so much and couldn't look away. I didn't want to look away, even as the story tore at my heart. It's so well done.
So, I want to start off with the bad. The sound editing needs work. I literally have the volume all the way up, and can barely hear the character’s dialogue. With a show that is mostly one character talking, that’s a big thing to fix. Also, some of the setting/action is hard to conceptualize because the sound is confusing without a baseline knowledge of the set-up/environmental layout. All that said, the podcast deserves the five stars. The story captures the listener right away, and builds a story background for the character as the episodes play out. The season ends with a lot more questions than answer, but that just serves to invest us (the listeners) into the show even more. The action moved very fast at the end, and there is a real human connection to the main character. I can’t wait until the next seasons.
I got some good jump scares out of this. The character had really just made every bad decision but I really want to know how everything turns out if anyone comes out to the Station. Good show the character a little pathetic but he was supposed to be. Still rooted for him. I highly recommend this one if you are into podcast horror. It’s really well done.
I feel like I was promised horror and ended up with a VERY QUIET monologue about a guy who has made every bad decision he could have. I feel like it would have been more interesting (to me, atleast) if he had spent more time in the present instead of bemoaning the past. It's hard to listen to a podcast where you're wishing the main character would just shut up. I got to ep 9 and I can't go on.
