Money Money Money
I’m never sure how to rate these big budget shows. On the one hand, I’m eager for proper money to reach fiction podcasting, on the other hand I rarely feel like the bigger producers are committed to their audio projects. This one? You can almost hear the money rattling through the production like a slot machine paying out a jackpot. Thematically and actually. But, as is so often the case with bigger budget audio, the plot is so full of absurdities it overpowers any audience buy-in. And who knows if this show will ever release a S2. And static & interference & clipping & other grungy audio techniques are fabulous devices for covering up poor recording quality and different recording room tones that are so often the realities lower-budget shows have to sound design around. But somehow big budget shows can’t resist overusing them to the point of illegibility and ear pain. Most of the acting here is better than the material. Some of the sound design is really, really cool. The “setting” & framing of phone phishing is ... appropriate for audio! The plot? Oof.

It’s just so good. I love everything Gimlet, but I was just getting into it and it’s over. Please make more. 💛💛💕

I really do not like the main character. She acts so entitled that after only the second, I felt she deserves whatever is happening.
