“I really, really struggled with what to rate this audio drama. Because honestly, everything except the last ten minutes deserves well over 5 stars. I even enjoyed episode 5, a parody of true crime podcasts that was hit or miss for some people.
I was completely engaged in this podcast. The voice acting was phenomenal. The writing was sharp, and could turn from comedy to drama on a dime. I came to care deeply for the characters, most specifically Lydia and especially Jean. There were twists and turns and it was such an incredible portrayal of mental illness… until the last ten minutes.
The last 10 minutes are so confusing and strange, and seem to undo every message we have been given. It changed it from being about mental illness to something that seems more like sci-fi. My rating may change if QCode releases a second season that helps explain things, but given their track record for second seasons I’m not optimistic. I’m trying to pretend the last 10 minutes don’t exist because it’s sort of ruined the entire story for me, which is a shame because it was fantastic.”
