“Story’s great, sounds are sometimes too loud or too soft but it’s not too bad overall honestly. One thing annoying is that there’s quite literally like 12 minutes of ads each episode, it’s nuts!
And to the guy who can’t imagine how they actually make the sounds for the woman struggling through...”Read full review »

“Edge of your seat storytelling. Very well scripted and acted. Biggest complaint is that nearly half of the show is commercials and music”

“Season 1 was a really well produced show. The story is really interesting, and the actors are great. 5 stars for season 1.
Season 2 is tough, though. Amazing story, that part is a 5 all the way. But the sound editing (or mixing, whatever you call it) was really difficult. The sound effects and...”Read full review »

“I don’t even write reviews but this was bad. I couldn’t really hear the story. Whoever thought “more load noises and space noises and less context” I hope you are doing well in your pursuit of a different career.”

“So there really still are people with money who think that we need to deliver the sound of torturing women in mental institutions straight to people’s ears. As entertainment. In 2018. This is vile and so is iHeartRadio for publishing it. And so are all the advertisers.”

“First season was amazing, both in story and sound design, but they sort of lost their way on 2nd season.
The story and dialogue of the 2nd season are fantastic, when you can clearly hear it. The universe of the Control Group is wonderful on a conceptual level. Dialogue is usually quite good and...”Read full review »

“The dialogue was alway “covered” by background noise like radio, tv, sirens, secondary conversation. Trying to hear the dialogue was an effort at times. The story was interesting and had a nice twist at the end.”

“Stop putting ads in every 10m. And they arent just 30 seconds ads, they are about 2-3mins long.

“This was a very disturbing podcast.
As horrendous as these patients were treated, this is an ultra-sanitized depiction of the mismanagement, experimentation, barbaric and inhumane treatment that was going on in those hospitals in the early to mid 20th century. Very sad. Thankfully the standard...”Read full review »

This story could actually happen, and who’s to say it’s not.

“If these scientists exist still in 2020, I hope they're given the exact same treatment they elect for others. Sickening to imagine this nightmare, especially when its linked to the gov't. This "research" is completely unnecessary in our world. If you support, or get off on this...”Read full review »

“Think mad scientist + the creepy guy from hunchback of notredame + good ‘ole boys club and you’ve got a couple of the main characters figured out. This is NOT just a cool brain experiment with weird testing sort of story, rather it relies heavily on how sex is used for power, greed, lust, and...”Read full review »
