This show was so intriguing and darkly humorous! The characters have such good chemistry, and I would die for Beatrix! I can’t wait to unravel the mystery of the situation that our main characters find themselves in! I would say however that later seasons are struggling to pick up the improvised...Read full review »

I know I only gave it 4 stars, but this is a truly amazing podcast. The casts dedication makes it so that I often forget it’s not scripted, and I’ve listened to many improv shows before. The only thing that is slowing down the excitement for me (and it may just be that I haven’t listened...Read full review »

This show has been one the best parts of my college career and now that it’s at an end, I’m happy to see this show keep going! I started listening when I first got into college and it was always such a joy to laugh along to the gang’s antics, especially after a long day of working or studying....Read full review »

She is absolutely brilliant in season 3. She carries this thing. Have to say Sean Howard is the star of Seasons 1 and 2 as Bob but Kristi takes it to another level near the end of 2 ad for sure in 3. I do like the story’s unfolding history. Addictive if you can make it through the overacting in...Read full review »

Listen to the early seasons for masterful and entertaining adlib performances that still advanced an enjoyable storyline. Missing Beatrix in the latest season.

Looking back on my life, I have zero regrets about how I spend my free time; everyone involved with this show will look back someday & wish they could have the time they spent doing this & want that time back…

I love this FUNNY and ENTERTAINING Story! The first episode had me laughing OUT LOUD in my bed at midnight. “BEATRIX” is one of the Funniest Characters that I’ve come across in my thousands of hours of listening to Audio Dramas/Podcasts. Each Character has their own idiosyncrasies that are...Read full review »

I’m not usually a fan of improve shows. Too many of them are just cracking themselves up, meander too far from anything resembling a story, need a ton of editing to pick out the shot moments of comedy in a ponderous show or are just there to push the other characters into outlandish situations....Read full review »

This show reminds me of Red Dwarf in a lot of ways. Each character is vastly different from the next and equally entertaining. I considered this type of comedy a diamond in the rough, but I assure you not everybody is going to laugh. That’s why I think this is going to be a cult classic; you...Read full review »

It's so good it's like watching a movie it's so well acted. I've listened to it many times and its great every time. By the way there is a pretty big cliffhanger at the end of season 4 where it's currently at. Im still waiting for season five. But overall its so entertaining...Read full review »

Very funny and easy to listen to. Great actors, especially Beatrix. The production does just enough to make me see it all. Lovable idiots doing terraforming things. Two quickly dissolving thumbs up!

I frickin’ love, love, LOVE this show. The flip between their different iterations - just brilliant. I hope they are able to continue! Also, I want to be a character- even if its a death rattle.
AngelDeath via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/22
I’m on episode three of the first series, which is a little early to leave a review for me. This is my first time listening to an improvised series so I’m not used to it (star detracted 🙁). The pauses between words while the actors think up what they’re going to say always gives a sense of...Read full review »

Honestly this is just sort of moronic. I get this is improvised but there is not anything interesting or loose plot to hold it together. Add to it loads of commercials and weak acting, I just can’t get into it and all. A much better space theme improv is Mission to Zyxx.
Me x 7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/22
I LOVE the fact that this show is fully improvised each episode. It makes for such good comedy later on when they accidentally get themselves into weird stories and plot lines and then have to figure out how to correct it later. I also love the outtakes after the episodes!!!! Can’t wait for more!
JennyJJac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/22
It’s very entertaining and is very professionally performed but be prepared for the storyline to meander and fall apart as they seem to change their minds about the backstory with every new season. Individually the episodes are fun but each leaves more frustrating and unanswered questions than...Read full review »
Countryguy32 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/21
I think my favorite part of the reviews are the ones that assume there’s a script, when they say right off the bat there is not. It’s remarkably coherent for a long running improv show, more of a patch the plot hole game that just keeps spiraling out of control.
Glitchrider via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/21
This is a funny show. But the voice of Beatrix is annoying. Very annoying. Her laugh is annoying and that high pitch nasal pitch is extremely annoying along with the awkwardness but with that said she’s also endearing in a heart warming way.
GracoTrunner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/21
Civilized is addictive and hilarious! Love all of the characters and how it’s wound around in ways that are surprising. Love it all! 🥰
74Silver via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/03/21
Goofy, silly, with unpredictable laughs and unique plots, it makes me smile. I’m in season 2 now. Hope it stays good
Mr. BGIVEHCOF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/21
Come for the improvisational dark comedy. Stay for the talented voice actors and immersive sound design. Pro tip-start at S1Ep1.
Autumn Flew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/21
This show is really great, and I love the actors and everything, but I’m a little confused by this “reiteration” thing. Does that mean that the characters come back to life? And I feel like there’s a little too much left out with my mystery part from episode to episode. Tiny bit confused, but I’m...Read full review »

At first, I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this series at all. I stayed for the kicks and giggles, since it was good, light-hearted fun to listen. Then … (now around episode 5) I got hooked on the subplot. The little tantalizing tidbits that are dropped subtly throughout the episodes are very...Read full review »

The adds are more intertaining then the show! Love them
SAMMUFG via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/21
Not funny, it’s trying... waaaaay too hard.
Sumotsunami via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/21
There are a LOT of ads for how short the show segments are, which are enjoyable and do have a story they’re following. I’m going to follow up on this show in a couple months as I hope there is something they can change in their ad reads. I’m no pro, I don’t pay these wonderful VAs so I hope this...Read full review »

Now into Season 3 of this improvised sci-fi and have enjoyed the characters’ progression, nice voice acting and theme music. Talented improvisers who interact with other so well, Really enjoy the show.

And when I thought it couldn’t get crazier, I discovered @CivilizedPod Most of the time I have no idea what’s going on but it’s killingly funny!
Bozz&Quark via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/20/21
Immature writing, mediocre voice acting. I don’t know how this Podcast made it past 1 episode.
JTK Awesome via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/21
OH my god. I LOVE this podcast. I just finished all 3 seasons, and I love this so much. I love the humor, the interaction between the characters, and the story is so thrilling! There are a lot of commercials, but the rest of the podcast more than makes up for it. I’ve been looking for another...Read full review »

Ham
Takes the ham in being ridiculous. A verbal nod to mystery science theatre and all that goes with it.
Ash in Melbourne via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/03/21
I listen while I’m working and although I started to enjoy this podcast all the commercials have me spending too much time skipping commercials. They are also pretty short, for the actual podcast maybe 15-10 minutes plus or minus because commercials before middle and end.
Dented subie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/21
Started off funny with slap stick one off stories, but the humor wore off and now in a 20 min episode the first 5 were commercials, interrupted the story half way through to have the main characters drop a forced plug that doesn’t fit in the story, and then we can wrap up the end with another...Read full review »
Jack3469643 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/21
This is 2 stars because, well, I don't think I listened long enough to rate it one. I only made it halfway through the second episode. All of the comedy thus far it appears was designed for a 7 year old. If you want a serious space podcast, look at Wolf 359. I recommend passing this one by.Read full review »

Super funny and easy to get sucked into

I just want to hug this show & squeeze it forever & ever, I love it that much !!! It’s like a funny, silly, hug that reminds you of being a kid again & I want to bottle it & drink it every day forever. Subscribe now please !!
A. R. OLIVIERI via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/20
I’m a big fan of Sci-Fi podcasts but not so much of comedy. But Civilized is an exception. I think Sci-Fi comedy is growing on me...thanks to the show. Oh, and Beatrix is the best. Don’t kill her off...at least not for good.
Eclick254 via Apple Podcasts · Kenya · 07/29/20
The idea of an improvisational podcast drama is new to me, but it really works. Just keep recording... just keep recording...
Onequestion0110 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/20
Love this podcast! Even before you ran the promotions about iTunes reviews and Beatrix wanting validation, she was my favorite. I started listening two days ago while mowing the lawn and I have just now made it to the last episode they have out currently.
Jo Ann Ruth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/20
Love this podcast especially Beatrix. So funny.
SombraK9 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/25/20
There’s a bit more after the credits that makes this a lot more sense! This seems to be quick fire humour done incredibly well. The performers sound like they’re having a blast and it comes through. I love it more and more.
