“I was really excited about this new story set in the Bridgewater universe, but it was disappointing in several ways. The very limited tie-in to Bridgewater was the most frustrating - was definitely hoping for more there. The story was very difficult to follow and hard to picture because of the lack of description. It was often hard to follow who the characters were and who was speaking - like listening to a TV show without being able to see what’s going on. (Radio dramas are supposed to fill in those gaps.) I felt like a lot of time was wasted on the romance without actually moving the plot along. There was also some of “the rest of the world dislikes Americans” self-loathing, as well as modern vernacular such as “colonizers” used by an older character who wouldn’t be using that terminology. And yeah, I don’t speak Spanish so I missed some of the story. (Do the writers know that many people speak Spanish because of colonization as well?) They only seem to have a problem with “white,” English-speaking colonizers. If you want to do a production in Spanish go for it! But if it’s an English production, don’t throw in a ton of another language (any language) without translation.”
