Review of The Black Tapes - So Good

So Good

☆

“I just listened to this entire show in four days, which is pretty fast for me, and I am blown away. Alex Reagan and Dr. Strand have a Mulder and Scully vibe that works so well, and I love Alex’s friendship with her fellow producer Nic. One of the highlights of Season 2 was how Alex’s life was directly affected by the stressful investigations and how it changed her relationships as she buckled under the stress. I never thought I’d have cause to shout out the ads in a podcast, but here I am. It took a while for them to get really playful with them, but by season 3, they’re really creative and funny. I head-canon that Alex and Nic write the funniest ads their sponsers will let them get away with. The Me Undies ad was truly legendary 😂 The mystery does get a little convoluted starting in season 2, and it gets harder to follow. The way the various interviews get broken up according to the conversation’s threads can makes it hard to keep up with the clues that are being dropped. I really hope we get a second half to season 3! In terms of emotional resolution, I feel alright with the end of season 3, but I really want to see some of these mysteries get wrapped up. If nothing else, I would love some more resolution to Strand’s relationship with his wife and daughter. Emotionally, those still feel like they’re big parts of who he is as a character, and I can’t imagine the story moving forward without addressing them.”
