Interesting Feminist Sci-Fi

“Starts off with a horror-mystery vibe, but settles into sci-fi mystery by the end of the first season. The story has a good balance between revealing information and leaving enough clues and questions to keep the listener invested. The plot gets complex at points but is easy to follow. Handles themes of personal agency while grappling with fear of fate and inevitability. Intergenerational connections of solidarity and trauma [between primarily cis women] and concern for future generations play significant roles in the narrative. Female solidarity is highlighted not only in the intergenerational aspect, but in the friendship(s) Helen forms, Sierra's wife's unflinching support, and Z's relationship with her AI. The character development is lovely and the actors convey emotion and embody their characters' strengths and fears well. Despite having only three main actors with a couple supporting roles, the cast feels larger; I especially loved how Helen did voices for her friends. The exploration of the 'ghosts' and their nature and interaction with the world is interesting.
I was worried for several episodes that the story was veering towards bio-essentialism despite its critiques of eugenics because much of the story hinges on mostly cis women having a certain ability, but there are some brief mentions of trans women and nonbinary people having the ability and its cause not being as straightforward as at first glance. Still, I would have liked to see more exploration of that nuance in such a feminist-leaning story.”Read full review »

“Just found this AD, so I’m only 3 episodes in but I LOVE it! The concept, a haunted location followed in three very different timelines, by three very different women, is such a great idea! The voice acting is all great, and the production design is top notch. Looking forward to more of this!”

“I have never known so quickly that I was about to binge a podcast all in one go. The multiple engaging storylines, creepy ambience, and writing that doesn’t lean on inaction or incompetence from the main characters to drag the plot along make this really special, and I can’t wait for the next...”Read full review »
