What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This show is SO GOOD. The quality, the sounds, the plot, the characters- it's all amazing. But. The ending was super abrupt... I feel left with questions, and the way their relationship ends up, does not make sense. Regardless, it was worth it. I hope they can add to this show, or start a new season. I would certainly listen to it.

Mahendra Prabhu · May 2024

This is one of the smartest, most gripping, and entertaining podcasts I’ve EVER listened to. I do agree with a lot of these reviews that I want MORE from the ending, but the ride is amazing! If the creators are reading this, PLEASE write another season to give us that closure we want, pllllllease!

KandisBoone · Jan 2024

I relisten to this one a lot. I love the format of it and the acting and writing are excellent. My only complaint is that there isn’t more! And now that streaming services are starting to adapt podcasts to shows, this one definitely needs that.

AhhRealMonstr · Sep 2023

Absolutely incredible and genuinely scary to listen to alone. Loved it and such great pacing, never lost my interest. Sudden ending without anything being wrapped up killed me thoigh!

Shannon7291 · Jun 2023

If it had a proper ending. This is a case of the journey being more exciting than the destination. The finale was a massive cop out, with more questions being asked and none answered. Lots of suspense and plot all for nothing.

Ladylilliann · Nov 2023

This is the 3rd show I’ve seen by these people that are absolute MASTERPIECES at the start but then abruptly ends in a way that doesn’t even try to make sense. Is it that you guys can’t secure funding throughout so you’re forced into wrapping up?? That would make sense if there was some effort but it’s almost comical how bad these endings get. I honestly don’t want to watch anything else from them just bc I refuse to get wrapped up in another amazing story just to be let down this hard again
