Headphones are highly recommended for this immersive, psychological, sci-fi thriller! John Boyega (STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS) stars as Jack Locke, a mysterious conman with a vendetta who infiltrates NextCorp, a Silicon Valley body-hacking startup run by enigmatic CEO Max Fuller, played by Emmy winner Darren Criss (AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE). Nextcorp has secretly been developing a revolutionary new mind app that promises to amplify the human brain in incredible ways. "Shut-Eye," promises to change the world by eliminating its users’ need to sleep, but when participants of the human trials begin dying off, the program is shut down. Max starts testing the product on himself, unleashing a dormant and dangerous alter ego. As Jack goes toe to toe with Max and his fractured psyche, he finds himself on the run for his life in a race to stop a dark plot seeking to radically advance humankind to its next stage of evolution.

This was such an addictive show. I started listening at the gym and would put off showering to keep the story going. Storyline was super engaging and the sound editing was great- it gets quiet in spots so it’s hard to listen when there’s a lot of background noise but this was a fun ride!
Ghostgirl118 · Feb 2024
There was one plot hole - maybe more of a credulity hole - that nagged me all the way through: In this day and age, you can’t get hired at a 7-11 without being thoroughly vetted. So, the idea that a hustler like Jack could good-con his way into one of the world’s foremost biotech firms and think “they” didn’t know or wouldn’t find out his real identity just isn’t believable.
So, for that one nagging factor, listening to every episode, I found myself annoyed, thinking, “The storytelling is great! The pacing is fantastic. But I know - everyone must know - that at some point this going to climax with ‘them’ revealing that they knew all along who Jack was and why he applied for a job at Nextcorp in the first place.
Or maybe I’m just a curmudgeon. Credulity hole or not, it was a great bit of storytelling. And the actors all voiced their characters to perfection. I could feel their emotions.
Hope a second season is forthcoming!

I loved this one! It was nice to hear a diverse group as well as the sound quality and actors were probably the best of many podcasts i listen to! Between this one and Mordeo i don’t know which absolutely love more ! I am so appreciative of the production quality! Hoping for a second season! ❤️

Very entertaining, well written and excellently performed and executed. It seems so difficult to find a well-made fiction podcast, so I am very pleased, and grateful for all who made this show.
My only complaint is that there isn’t more available yet, so I guess that’s probably a compliment! I will be looking forward to the next season!

Story was good until the ending, which was honestly disappointing. I don’t know if they plan on making a second season, but they sent really mixed signals between the ending of the show and the epilogue. Felt like my time was wasted. Otherwise well produced and acted.
