“I’m still trying to wrap my head around this show. I’m writing this review after episode 7, and it feels as though the show is also still trying to decide what it is. The opening few episodes, featuring found audio with a great story within a story device, promised an exploration of a mysterious town where everyone vanished. The show, however, winds up being three supernatural investigators locked in a haunted house. The main mystery gets forgotten in favor of jump scares. After seven episodes, I struggle to find any forward momentum to the story. It’s also unclear when the show takes place, as every character speaks in antiquated 1920s dialect but they reference modern technology (e.g. earbuds). There’s also some confusion in the first few episodes as a few voice actors cover multiple parts. I was really hoping that this series would offer a great ongoing mystery (ala The Magnus Archives, who brought this show to my attention) but it’s mainly been a show about a haunted house and not a vanishing town.”

“This is a new show but it’s already got its hooks in me! The voice acting is wonderful and the writing is second to none! Can’t went to explore the mysteries of Cold Sparrow!”
