What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Brilliantly produced, and a first class stable of actors, bring this almost-instantly addictive science fiction mini-series to life. The last two episodes had me in tears. The acting will impress even the Gods 😢... making this a heartbreaking, memorable triumph. One of the 10 Best science fiction podcasts ever made, in my own personal opinion.

I instantly fell in love with this podcast within the first 5 minutes or so. The perfectly natural banter, the sound design, the writing?? I ended up listening to the entire thing in one night and I was so enthralled that I couldn't put it down. I've relistened like 4 times since then, it's seriously one of my favorite medias of all time.

One of those you can't put down. Great sound, believable actors and story. Quickly became attached to the whole crew. Corporate greed and space miners forced to look out for each other- as no-one else will. Hope this writer made other podcasts

AND STRESSFUL. BUT MOSTLY INCREDIBLE. I listened all in one sitting at work and had to FIGHT not to get my emotions all over everything. Top notch writing and presentation, with so much to keep you hanging on every word right up until the very last second of the show. I wish I had found it sooner and I’m recommending it to everyone I know!!! Crew of the Hyacinth my beloveds 🥺🥺🥺😭

Good characters. Well acted. The plot and cadence is somewhat off. The biggest problem is the constant bickering. They sacrificed good drama and suspense for ill placed attempts at humor.
