“TLDR; S1 is Amazing & the reason for the 5 star review. S2 is more of a 3/4 star from me, ‘cause I just didn’t really like most of the characters. ((5 stars are also for the fact that neither season has a long intro/outro, so listening to them back to back can be done without skipping!))

Season 1 was AMAZING. Following podcaster Nikki as she chronicles decoding an extra terrestrial message was SO interesting. A few things I liked about it—
1) It kept me on the edge of my seat. I was constantly trying to figure out what would happen next.
2) The premise?? The ideas & the science they introduced? SO interesting!
3) The characters!! I liked all of them, even if I did feel sometimes that we didn’t get enough time with them xD Nikki was particularly relatable—well. Until the end ;)
4) The twist/reveal at the end!! I had some suspicions around, um, episode 4 or 5? But, my suspicions were TOTALLY different from what actually happened. Well—I take that back. Not TOTALLY different. But different enough.
Anyway. The Message: Amazing, bingable, I might even just relisten it.
Season 2—well. I was very excited for the premise. The premise made me think of that one r/nosleep post, with the guys late girlfriend talking to him through Facebook? & I guess in a way, it kind of was like that. But—I had a few issues with it.
1) The agent’s girlfriend, Charlie? I just. Did not like her. I wanted to—I tried REALLY hard. But I just… couldn’t.
2) Speaking of characters, the only ones I actually liked were Octavia & Sasha. Oh, and Paul. Sasha was a very well written antagonist; Paul was just… a nice guy, once you get past the fact he’s a big member of the cult; and Octavia was just… perfect. Love her. Ross kept—irritating me, & Cutler seemed to have like… no empathy. She just seemed to embody a lot of the worst things about law enforcement.
3) The twist at the end. I wanted to be happy about it, to feel satisfied but—instead I was just kinda angry?
Anyway. It was still VERY interesting & I binged it in one night, so I’m not saying it’s necessarily a BAD season, but—I didn’t like it as much as season 1. TBH I’d like to see more from the aliens :eyes:”

“This is so bad. They do not let you know that it is fiction but it's pretty obvious a few minutes into the second episode. The acting is so horrible I couldn't get past 10 minutes in episode two. Good concept but pay your actors more money.”Read full review »
