What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Look, I *love* Tanis and all the PNWS shows. I listen to all of them about once a year. It’s immersive, full of mystery, great sound design. But I think Terry Miles has a serious case of the George RR Martins. As far as I’m aware, he’s got plans for at least one more season and yet! Other podcasts (they’re good, hard to be mad about them)! Two books! Plans, at one point anyways, for a Black Tapes show! Allllll these other projects and four years later, still no season six! Still hoping to venture back into those mysterious woods near Seattle…

I think it might be the chill opening song that’s giving me those comfort vibes, because it’s definitely not the content of the episodes. There’s so much to like here. The acting is fantastic and I love the creepy premise. Worth a listen for the first season alone. Bring on season 6!

CAMP06 · Oct 2023

I have been searching for a while for a good book or something that sent me spiraling into questions and a need to know more. I very recently stumbled into this and thought, eh, I’ll give it a try, and this is exactly what I wanted. I usually spend a day to binge a season, then take some time to go down the rabbit hole looking up references from the show before I go to the next season. Intriguing, interesting and different

flyleeleefly · Jan 2023

I just finished season 3 and I’ve enjoyed Tanis for the most part so far. The story is interesting and there have been some good twists and turns this far. However, I get a little frustrated by the dialogue at times, especially characters’ tendencies to say another characters name if that character doesn’t respond to a question in .5 seconds. This happens multiple times in every episode and the therapy sessions are especially cringey because of it. This isn’t unique to a particular character or to Tanis, as it’s common in Rabbits, as well. One other complaint is characters doing extreme things for almost no reason at all. For example, one character pretends to be someone else, but has no real reason for doing so. They’re only pretending to be them in name and haven’t changed anything else about their identity, and they don’t have a solid rationale for doing so. I wish that some twists weren’t there for just shock value. It makes the buildup extremely disappointing.

I listened to the first two episodes and was intrigued by the premise. Then i got to episode 3 and they used the real-life death of Elisa Lam as a plot point. She was an *actual person* who tragically died less than a decade ago. “Explaining” her death using a fictional conspiracy theory is in such poor taste.

KevCo24 · Jan 2022

The negative reviews on here are 100 percent accurate. Except for MK and Jeff, the voice acting is dull, the main character, Nick, really does repeat everything that someone tells him and loves to use a phrase “well that sounds (add adjective here) whenever someone gives him a bit of information. Season 1 was good, it got me hooked but after seasons 2 it felt like this story was going losing direction and would drag on. Season 3 confirmed that. I gave up after that.
