A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I debated between rating this podcast 4 or 5 stars because I wouldn’t necessarily call it exceptional but it was an enjoyable listen and every aspect of it was done very well. The characters felt grounded and the writing was realistic enough that every reaction from the characters felt understandable and justified. I do think the ending was maybe a bit rushed, I liked the concept of it but I think a little bit more lead up would have benefited the pacing and made it feel more satisfying. Overall I’d give it somewhere between a 4 and 4.5 stars but I like to round up for these reviews to help out the creators. A fun listen if you need something that you don’t have to invest too much into but holds your attention the whole way through.
This show has amazing production value, and really keeps you hooked. The pacing, dialogue, and storyline are great and I was very invested
This is one of my favorites, if not my actual favorite podcast. I just finished my fourth time through it, and I am still impressed with the writing and production on this show. I still hope we will get a second season at some point, but the one season holds up fine on it’s own. The unanswered questions still swirl around in my head from time to time, and I go back and listen again to see if there was anything I missed. There are only a few podcasts I will consume a second time. This one is definitely worth a first time to anyone who is into this genre.
The acting was really on point and the sound effects sounded realistic. Great story; kept me riveted. I feel that the ending kinda sucked, but still a really good audio drama!
Compelling premise, excellent sound design, but the two principal actors sound as if they’re delivering every line sarcastically and become annoying in a hurry. As the dramatic (HA!) tension ramps up, the plot developments become absurd and downright laughable. The climax is predictable and the continued question of “are you recording this?” brings the entire reality of the series into question. It’s a Herculean task to suspend your disbelief and get drawn into the world this show tries to create. A failure on every level.
