“It’s a good premise but that’s where it ends. As others have pointed out, the acting is high school drama level. The writing is even worse. A podcast needs great dialogue and descriptive writing, this has neither. Much of the dialogue consists of grunts, groans, and when sentences are actually strung together they’re rife with platitudes and bad jokes. The characters are poorly written with actions and motives that are outright unbelievable and at odds with the story. And lastly, the sound design is grating on the nerves. I’m constantly lowering the volume to avoid being deafened by sirens and turning up the volume to hear whispered dialogue. And those innumerable sirens, do they really need to be there? Maybe they think it helps create a realistic world, but nothing about this podcast is realistic so why attempt realism if it only serves to annoy the audience? I forced my way to episode 8 in hopes it would get better, but it only gets worse.”
