The Hidden People - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The finale made it worth EVERY SINGLE SECOND. If you think it’s slow in the beginning, I beg you to finish. It gets better with every episode. The twists, reveals, foreshadowing, all masterfully crafted and laid out perfectly. I even cried at that one episode in season 3 🥹 But the finale had me on the edge of my seat and I had goosebumps all over. Amazing writing, incredible story, beautiful character development, absolute 10/10.

Truly one of the best out there. Several awesome plot twists through seasons 1 and 2 (I'm on 3 now) - including the identity of the at-times cringy narrator. (There. Is. A. Reason!!) The writing is satisfyingly complicated, funny, emotional, and tight - things always loop back to where they started. No loose ends. It's really, really good.

Honestly it just got better as a I continued listening! This podcast had me hooked like no other audio drama I have listened to. I loved the characters and how they developed throughout the story. I’m sad it’s over now, and wish there was another season! Don’t want to say goodbye 🥺 if you aren’t sure, keep listening past the first half of season 1, it does pay off.

There's some great moments in here, specifically early on when you're guessing what's going on. The pacing gets worse as the series progresses, at least from the perspective of someone wanting more horror/drama than romances. The unreliable narrator aspect is interesting, but I did find it a bit frustrating in here with how often things happened "off screen" to kill any tension the story had.

I’m in shock at how abysmally amateurish this show is. It’s as if a group of college friends decided to put together a drama, but none of them had any training or experience. Acting is on par with community theater, with actors reading the scripts rather than being the characters. The effects applied to the narrator’s voice are juvenile. Dialogue is dreadful. Don’t waste your time with this show.

I love the idea, and I listened to most of the first season hoping I could get past the overwrought narration and godawful theme song. But I can’t, so I’m done. The narrator pulls me out of the story every time he speaks, because his hyper dramatic delivery is so annoying.
