Poorly Written & Insufferable

“Just finished this series. Not sure why I subjected myself to its entirety. The premise is one you’ve seen in dozens of horror flicks, and though the path is well-trodden, it’s not the setup I take issue with. The execution is completely predictable, and things just sort of inexplicably happen - the writers didn’t even spend the time to establish any sort of weak contrivance to motivate the story along. The voice acting is perfectly fine, but the sound design is sparse, making most of the series feel rather ungrounded. The dialogue itself is some of the worst I’ve heard. Nearly every other line is a tiresome pop-culture quip, which solidifies both the characters and their writers as some of the most annoying people of all time. Characters literally say things like “erm, that was awkward,” and “he’s right behind me, isn’t he?” which I found really obnoxious. There’s also this peculiar dynamic where every character in the show, regardless of age, demographic, etc. makes out-of-place comments embodying gen-z/millennial neoliberal politics. I couldn’t care less what the politics of the show are, but the comments don’t feel true to its setting or characters. Just about the only likable one of the bunch is the sheriff, but she sees little air time. I spent most of the listen-through hoping the two protagonists would shut up. The ending is sloppy and nonsensical. The last two episodes feel hastily pulled together and completely unsatisfying. Overall, there’s little here to redeem its faults. I’d say, skip this one.”

“I loved Bridgewater from Grim & Mild and I’m so happy to see another audio drama series from them. The quality of audio and storytelling keeps you in the edge of your seat wanting more. I recommend anything from the Grim & Mild podcast collection.”

“Overall I enjoy the podcast- I don’t understand the Gordon dislike, he’s fine. The main character is a bit shrill and some of the dialogue is a bit… sitcom-y one liners and little jokes that i could do without bc it’s meaningless banter. Like 5-6 lines to convey something that could be conveyed...”Read full review »
