I am halfway through and love listening to this masterful podcast series while working at my computer!

I listen to podcasts to fall asleep. Made that mistake with this one. Got too invested, ended up losing 4 hours of sleep listening to it.

It took a couple of episodes but man this was one of most atmospheric story podcasts I ever listed to. Fully recommended

Characters are so whiny. Wasn’t rooting for any of them, actually the opposite!

Everything about this show is amazing. I can’t recommend enough to someone searching for an immersive well-written sci-fi audio drama. I really hope to see more scripted fiction like Solar! Also would love to see this adapted into a feature film/tv show!

Loved it, heard 2 episodes one day and binged the rest the next day 👍😀

The show is incredibl. The highlight of the show is Jenny. She’s smart, charismatic, and 🔥🔥🔥

The production of this was amazing, cast, audio experience, the story, all of it was just brilliant. Just about perfect in every way ! I was hooked from the start and am gutted to have actually reached the end! Thank you to all involved!

Definitely one of the best podcasts in existence. I’m talking sound quality, voice acting, storyline..everything.
JaneBerlinH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
I really love the story but I hate how it kinda left off on a Cliff hanger almost 5 or 6 moths a go and present day there still Is not a season 2, it is so sad the story is so good and interesting.
jajsodjahejdoshsjxksjshdjd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/23
Hooked from the beginning as the story unfolds and you learn more and more with every thoughtful and detailed episode. Amazing. Please let there be a season 2!

I just couldn’t get past how awful and distracting the computer voice is to get back into it after a break.
penelope42 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/23
Stephanie Beatriz is incredible in this drama. It pulls on so many levels and I truly recommend this show to anyone. A wonderful production that really leaves you wanting to know more. I hope there will be a season two.

Only got about 10 minutes in and just couldn’t listen anymore. Almost every voice was overly dramatic and didn’t flow at all. If you want something worthwhile I recommend Dark Woods or Impact Winter - both are intense and believable.

I found myself moved by this story—didn’t know that a podcast could be so stimulating on so many levels. Acting, writing, sound design, thought provoking … thank you!
Ontario Neighbour via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/08/23
It’s really intense, it’s about rivalry between two companies I think.or smt. It was really interesting some characters are dodgy ngl. Out of all the voice actors my favourite were Eli and Ren voice since I find their voice sooo beautiful and intriguing to listen to

Wow
This was such a beautiful podcast, really felt like I was there
jeiisbwvscd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/23
My name is Allie and five minutes into this podcast I can’t stand how annoying and unintelligent the AI Allie is sounding! 😂 great story otherwise, just ignore Allie.
AliceVivvy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/22
Amazing performances, beautiful sound design. Made me just as teary-eyed as everyone else said. If you love sci-if stories you won’t go wrong here.
SwordsandWolves via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/22
I don’t listen to fiction podcasts and I am not a Sci-Fi aficionado but being familiar with the creator’s work for over twenty years, I was surprised at some of the familiar elements and turns of phrase, as well as overall theme. Most of all I was shocked when I BURST into tears at the end. Slow...Read full review »

I’ve been diving deep into listening to tonssss of scripted fiction podcasts. Out of the couple dozen+ I’ve listened to the past couple months, this is hands down the best one I’ve ever experienced. 10/10. I can’t imagine anything else could top this. Script, cast/acting, sound design, production...Read full review »

A bit slow in the start but a nice story, with excellent sound design and good voice actors. Also I really appreciate the style of ads, they are actually pleasant to listen to and not generic.
Novice_Idiot via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 11/21/22
I binge listened over a wekend and with no shame, admit I cried in the last episode. I haven't been this enraptured since TANIS and Wolf359. If you love space-themed podcast with a little supernatural and true character development, you will love this.Read full review »

The drinking sounds are very unnecessary. The drama, performances and story are great! The slurping and slapping of the coffee and are not great. Nobody likes to hear others do that, especially when it’s directly in the ear. Personal rant over.
JPD73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/22
Ugh! So good. Was on the edge of my seat 95% of the time. Strong performances by true actors. I believed every second. I could see it in my theatre of the mind. WOULD RECOMMEND! Is there an more left after season one? I’m a bit underwhelmed with all the b-roll and interviews. Let us know so I...Read full review »

I don’t write reviews, but Solar’s worth it. For those finding it hard to follow, it’s important to listen to the date/time Ali announced before the scenes, it’s pretty clear once that’s established. Anyway, I keep looking for similar podcasts - ie great script, well acted and fantastically...Read full review »

This is written well. Emotional, great "bad guys", done well to make you want to keep listening. I don't write reviews. This was good enough I wrote one.Read full review »

Easily one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. Highly recommend this story. Very immersive and great acting. Give it a try!
Thefishizer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/22
Jamal’s character kind sucks. Not the actor but the writing. It’s hard to say without spoilers. It’s not realistic…if it could be such a thing. He’s trained pilot top of top and he has freak out and break down over and over again whaaa whaaas whaaa lol everytbing is amazing. The one thing kinda...Read full review »

It’s a good story line but it’s very confusing with the back and forth from past to present day setting. It was difficult to follow the story and was lost quite a bit but finally finished entire story.
Ferd 21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/22
Great story. Characters are amazing and it will make you wish there was more.
Alii Kealoha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/22
This has been such an adventure! Well done to all who worked on this project, I recommend it to all!
Wellfire via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 08/06/22
Finally a podcast drama with an appropriate and satisfying ending. Must listen.
Sianandhenry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/22
Well written , with a great cast. Best podcast drama ever. Listening for 3rd time
einsteinsbrain via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/22
So so good . One of the best audio dramas I have heard . Voice acting is phenomenal . Sound design puts you on the ship . Story line is captivating .
clooneythescourge via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/22
Very badly written. Every character speaks like a typewriter. The non-english inserts don't add timbre nor subjectivity, they're just itchy. The very worst: The "AI"character: As far as semantics go, in the show's context, they can do better than mere "excel"sheets,...Read full review »

Amazing series. Amazing acting. Amazing content. Highly recommended.
Accountingslayr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/22
A well done podcast with what should be an interesting story. But after listening to several episodes I'm finding it difficult to keep track of what is going on. Narrative switches from before to after the 'solar event' frequently. Maybe if it were more consistent in the timeline, it...Read full review »

I liked it the first time I heard it when it was called Vast Horizon. This is what happens when you employ professional actors; they show up for the pay check. What a let down to hear a talented actor like Helen Hunt just phone in her performance and somehow receive top billing in the credits. Go...Read full review »

So many good reviews I pushed on to the end but wish I didn’t wast my time. It’s all done very well except for the story it’s self.
Jillill via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/22
This is extremely well produced. All the actors are fantastic and the story is compelling and paced well between action, back story and character-building. I’ve just finished the series and now I’m going back for a second listen.
mitchy_mitchy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/21/22
It’s all I hear and after the 3rd time it’s extremely annoying. Plus that name don’t even go together. Luckily she changed her name towards the end of episode one
Cooks509 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/22
So beautifully written and produced. The particular attention to sound puts the listener into the centre of the action. The actors give honest, thoughtful performances that compel us to listen. Thank you for the integrity of the work.
Katt De Purrr via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/19/22
Wow! Incredible production. Top notch acting, great writing, fascinating story. Hoping for more to this story!
Chromefactory12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/22
I came to podcasts late-ish (Serial S1 was about a year old). It was the scrappy underdog medium of audio - you could find almost hidden groups of amateur enthusiasts making documentaries and audio dramas to rival BBC Radio productions. I loved the David and Goliath aspect, self funded teams...Read full review »

Voice acting, sound crew, characters and overall story concept are all interesting enough. Clearly the actors are very talented. Storytelling conceit is fun. I’m a sucker for good found audio and non-linear storytelling. But yikes do they drone on and on in some scenes trying to be all grand...Read full review »

Fantastic voice cast and good storyline. HIGHLY recommend!

Stephanie is the reason I began listening to podcasts and she definitely does not disappoint in this one; none of the cast do!! The audio effects are so well crafted it makes you feel like you’re watching a show!! So action packed, full of laughs, twists and turns and so many surprises!! Gives...Read full review »
