Overhyped
I can’t believe I actually finished this. On apple podcasts this is one show with two seasons but on Spotify it’s two separate series where Life/After is described as being the sequel to The Message. It doesn’t matter in which order you listen to them though. I kept seeing people recommending both so much so I went in expecting to be blown away. I hated both. They’re both dull with many nonsensical elements. The Message was better by a very small fraction and Life/After is definitely one of the worst audio drama/podcast I’ve ever heard. I think the only reason people hype these up is bc of the super duper shocking twisty ending. The characters were all so extremely unlikeable. There’s none I relate to or feel empathy for. There were no redeeming qualities. It didn’t start out as a drag and then get better. I kept waiting but it just never happened. They both sucked from beginning to end. Two stars is probably overrated. There’s way better audio dramas out there. No need fo waste any time on either one of these.

Poor structure and pacing, flat characters and dialogue, strange glib comments from the narrator, not suspenseful in the least. My advice is to slow down and give the audience a sense of person and place, and to let the plot build from there. I love the audio drama Renaissance, but compared to...Read full review »
