Not Quite Great
This is a cool and original take on vampires. Lots lf interesting things at play that keep me listening. The supporting characters are fantastic. What holds it back from being a great show is, ironically, the point-of-view character. I wish I were hearing this story from anyone other than Alfie. Even in season 1, he’s whiny, but circumstances are understandable. But as the plot goes on, he doubles down. There’s a lot of juicy, complex angst happening in the story, and Alfie is incapable of processing any of it like an adult. Instead he’s petty, immature, shallow, selfish and inarticulate. He throws tantrums instead of communicating his feelings. He doesn’t seem to understand other characters have their own feelings and baggage. There’s a well of potential, but listeners are stuck with Alfie’s Bad Takes. It really knocks the story down a peg, and it’s very frustrating.

The world building makes you feel like...Read full review »

If there’s anything going on around me, like driving or dishes, I have a very hard time hearing it, and sometimes just straight up can’t. This is an issue I’ve run into with other Rusty Quill shows,...Read full review »
