“This show either tried too hard or not enough. That’s a line you might as well throw in to one of the million contrary statements in the never ending monologues.
This show feels like it was written by high schoolers for a play. The monologues are very average when compared to dinner theatre...”Read full review »

“I wanted to like this more, but Daisy talks like Nigel talks like …the other guy. Nick? How do they talk? Very rapid fire, flow-of-conscience, but also slightly stilted monologue. I kept wishing they each had their own style and voice like you would expect in the real world, but sadly they kept...”Read full review »

“I understand what the author was trying to do in this futuristic, dystopian story; however, a little more work was needed to portray that through the podcast, in my opinion. Interesting idea.”

“Started out with an interesting if not very cliché idea, but it devolves rapidly into the entitled people who ruined the world complaining endlessly about how much life sucks now that the world is ruined. Even the evil AI is an annoying, whiney b— I finally gave up halfway through episode seven,...”Read full review »

“Voice actors with grating voices endlessly drone on about how miserable they are, their jobs are, their bosses are, and on and on. The story is just a bunch of tired tropes, boring dystopian dribble, and is ridiculously repetitive. Sound design is ok, but a bit overdone. I barely made it thru 2...”Read full review »

“I've listened to 11 episodes and what I've heard should have been edited into three of the repetition was removed.
Note: If you want me to FF through commercials have Lazlo read them. I don't know how someone can be both shrill and nasal but he nails it.”Read full review »

“I absolutely loved this. Top-notch acting (esp. NigelDave — Paterson Joseph is immensely talented and the sound effects they applied gave me chills), gorgeous dialogue, amazing music, totally immersive soundscape, the plot had me on the edge of my seat…praying there's a season 2. Bravo!”Read full review »

“I’m at Episode 12 so far, and while I do like this podcast series, I REALLY want to love it. The voice actors, characters, sound design, themes, ideas, and even humor is all great…but I feel like Lazlow picked the wrong storytelling format. At first, I really didn’t mind the Hamlet-like...”Read full review »

“The anxiety and paranoid filled monologues of “is it watching?” “is someone watching” but never quite getting to “it” is repetitive, annoying and boring. Signed off after the 6th episode. Really wanted to leave after the 3rd, because they’re just going around in circles, but gave it a fair chance.”

“The monologuing style is particularly disadvantaged because the plot does not advance. You continually hear about the characters paranoia and they describe the past in vague terms, but it is barely shown. The narrators just pound you over the head with the desired takeaway, rather than leading...”Read full review »

“The story seems quite interesting but the style that has been chosen makes it so hard to listen to or follow what’s happening. Just a series of monologues, from varying levels of voice actors. Not a coherent story in any way.”

“Pros:
- Paterson Joseph’s performance as Nigeldave is incredible. So well done. So much FUN to listen to.
- Interesting premise
- Great sound design
Cons:
- The writing needs work - it doesn’t sound like people actually speak
- The story progresses really slowly. Really. Slowly.”

“I can’t tell the episodes apart because the plot doesn’t advance and they just say the same things over and over. But what made me stop listening is that none of the characters use contractions and I couldn’t handle the constant use of “did not” and “could not”.”

“I’m still vaguely curious about the overall plot, but 2 episodes in, this is just unlistenable. The long monologues that dominate the episodes are toe-curlingly cringe. The language is stilted and hits every cliche, and the content is trying so, so hard to be profound, it gets in the way of the...”Read full review »

“Rambling proselytizing. Some refer to science fiction as a sub-genre of speculative fiction. This fails to speculate anything we don’t already know and have had hammered into us over the last few years.
I apologize on behalf of the authors and production crew ( that voice! ) to the actors.”

I love the universe they’ve created here.

I’m giving 4 because of the originality and the universe. Otherwise it’s 3/5
