“I am a big fan of Stephen King. On this story somehow I knew it! Henry was going to be the killer.”

“Is a good and interest story (like all of Stephen king’s stuff). I like it overall, despite some weak parts in the dialogue/acting in the main 2 women especially, but overall it wasn’t a big hang up. The biggest downside is that the ads are crazy. There are probably 6-9 minutes of ads per podcast...”Read full review »

“I can’t hear certain parts of the story because the background music is sooo loud! There doesn’t need to be music in the background of so many scenes.”

“For the love of God and everything that is holy, how much of a 28 minute episode needs to be devoted to ads??? And twice for some ads in one episode break? If I have to listen to Blippy and Meeks’s Road Trip advertisements TWICE in one break, I’ll have to ditch the whole show. I can read the...”Read full review »

“‘Strawberry Spring’? A better title would’ve been ‘Cheesy Cringe’.
Terrible “acting” by the 2 valley girls (Rachel & Ann) and the lead guy - master of the pregnant pause. “I thought I would……come see you…” “How could I ever…..make it up to you…”.
Etc and on and on. Awful.”

“I’ve heard Stephen King is a phenomenal author but this just isn’t good. It isn’t a unique or captivating plot. The characters aren’t interesting. Maybe it’s just this adaptation. I lost interest before chapter 3. And I don’t usually mind ads but the amount of them here is crazy excessive.”

“SK is my favourite author, but I’ve only made it halfway through the first episode and it’s ALL exposition for the listener’s benefit. Characters talking about things to other characters that they already know or should already know but they need to let the audience know and it’s done in a way...”Read full review »

“Good listen while on a long car ride but like other reviews, the time jumps were hard to follow. King’s dialogue was a bit cheesy and i guessed the killer 3 episodes in. Overall was a good listen.”

“I want to give this a better review but with big names on this it seems there should’ve been better audio. Some of the characters sound like they’re in tubes when they talk…? And the voice fry with most of the female actors doesn’t jive with the timeframe of the 70s. Ending was predictable...”Read full review »

“I was not charmed by the main VA performances and guessed the twist very early on. I thought perhaps it was a trick to mislead you and another twist, but no. I listened at the request of a friend who thought I'd love it, as a King fan. This is definitely not way King writes stories or...”Read full review »

“I pushed through but it was a struggle. The sound mixing is really bad – hard to understand what people are saying, terrible, audio effects. Acting very mixed, and ultimately, the story was not that compelling and kind of predictable.”

“I’m a Steven King fan and this story was a pretty good adaptation of his work. The time jumps were very confusing at times which led to a good amount of predictability. By episode three it’s pretty obvious what’s going on.”

“Strawberry Spring is one of King’s most wickedly effective short stories. This is an adaptation of that story, stretched out to its limit. Perhaps it would have been easier if I hadn’t known the short story’s ending, but even so: the protagonist is your usual plucky reporter/teacher, who is so...”Read full review »

“It reminds me of “The Californians” on SNL. Vocal fry galore, except not funny just annoying. I guess it’s better than a poorly executed New England accent? Unfortunately, the most prominent fry comes from the Ann character. That breathy fry does not convince me it’s 1968-1976.”

“I love Stephen King and I liked the adaptation. I can get behind Hedlund’s narrative style. Ventimiglia and Marino tried their best to breathe life into this drama, but Guardiola and Sweeney killed it. Their apathetic, monotone voices just make it impossible to be as good as it could have been.”

“I’d be really into it and then the commercials would butt in and get me very confused because after them it would be another story line at times. At some points I couldn’t hear what they were saying because of the music, and the ending just seemed so rushed compared to it all. I loved all of it,...”Read full review »

“Main dude sounds like an emotionless attempt at a noir detective cliche. Main girl sounds like a heavily medicated modern day teen. And these are supposed to be serious investigative journalists?
