“If you're thinking of listening, here are some important (and unimportant) things to consider that I got out of listening to season one and some of season two.
Important things (small spoilers):
-The show is very slow to start. The first 9-10 episodes are just character building with strange events in the background. After episode 11, though, it's like a different show: magic, monsters, battles. It completely transforms from this slow, mystery show to a big action-fantasy thing. I wish it got to the exciting stuff sooner.
-If you're bored by the first two episodes, you could probably skip ahead to episode 9 and just go from there. This will give you a better idea of what the show really is--especially after 11. If you like it, go back and listen to the early ones you skipped to get to know the characters.
-Things in season two are even more fantasy, with alternate dimensions, body-switching, and bigger monsters. It reminds me of one of those ensemble superhero shows like Stranger Things (but with adults).
-There is a narrator. He isn't too annoying, like he doesn't just talk through all the movements, and he doesn't say much except in the first episode. If you refuse to listen to narrators at all, well, maybe skip this show.
-Contains adult language and quite a lot of violence. Nothing too sexual. Best for adults but suitable for teens.
Unimportant things:
-Almost every review complains about the theme songs. Each season has a different one. They're not great, but I've never looked for new music by listening to fiction podcasts. It's like saying a book has a great story but giving it a bad goodreads review because you don't like the color of the cover. Mostly I just skip over the song.”Read full review »

“**SPOILER ALERT** The first 10 or so episodes were interesting, but then they just went overboard with the witches and half-breeds and the gravely voices. Every time the Black Anise character would speak, I would lose interest in the episode. It went from reality-based to pure fantasy in about 2...”Read full review »
