A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
This is one of those shows where I have to be careful when listening in public because it makes me burst out laughing aloud. Genuinely funny, predictable in the best way, jnthat the characters feel very much themselves; and yet surprising in the best way, in that there's always something new to learn about their stories and the setting. Though a comedy throughout, there are some episodes that are so movingly sincere they had me almost in tears. I've listened at home, on walks, on my lunch break at work, and wherever I take it the show brings a welcome levity (or catharsis) to however my day is going. Thank you to everyone on the production team for one of my favorite shows, hands down!
(P.S. my favorite character is Dr. Edgware. I'm a former EMT and while he, like every character, is something of a caricature of themselves, it struck a great balance of ridiculous and relatable. Don't worry, I get a little more sleep these days!)

This show is outstanding. The characters are everything! Funny, charming, kooky, intelligent, charlatanesque, dramatic, and so worth the listen. The sound scapes are great too. I wish there was more!

Saying “I love this podcast” honestly doesn’t even begin to cover it. This show is hilarious, witty, chaotic in the best way, and so incredibly entertaining. Huge applause to the creators and actors — they absolutely knocked it out of the park.

I’ve listened to this series no less than three times through. It’s hilarious, intelligent and unique. One of my favorite comfort shows.
