“Top notch comedic and dramatic voice acting, with a satisfying array of characters, with various accents like posh British, Irish, and in season 2, German. Also excellent music, at times atmospheric and creepy and then carnival jingles.
I like the comedy of this show as it arises naturally from the character dynamics, and doesn’t feel forced. The characters are a hoot in themselves, such as the one older lady who had the hots for a young guy.
The mystery especially in season 1 is thrilling and even skin crawling, as the murders keep rising and gets closer to the protagonists.
The season 2 mystery didnt have as strong a finale, as one character’s background wasn’t really developed enough to foreshadow the ending. And another character from season 1 was hinted at returning but it did not happen. Perhaps there are loose ends for season 3.
Even so, I was thoroughly entertained by the voice acting. The German accent can be hilarious and isn’t that common in stories beyond WWII ones. I liked the change of pace.
While I don’t think of season 2 as a slum dunk, it still is very well produced and fun to listen to, if you don’t want a heavy mystery. All the voice actors sound like they’re having fun, and that makes all the difference.”
