The superpowers don’t get brought up until the 5th episode at this point you lose interest in what’s going on. The FMC is portrayed as this damsel in distress at the benefit of her sadistic friends. Overall I liked the idea but it fell flat, one dimensional characters and slow story line even though the podcast is short.
