Just finished season 2 and I’m liking it overall. It has good voice acting and storytelling. The pacing is quite strong. I like the concept of interconnected smaller stories, since each season is its own story, and so far it’s pulling it off well. However. Characters often make leaps of logic or...Read full review »

However season 4 and 5 exists only to provide snippets into the story and to collect ad revenue. Beware, commercials and asking for patrons make up a good amount of those “episodes”. I am giving 4 over my gut of 3 stars as it is a good story but falls flat, hopefully it will return to add to the...Read full review »

It’s a SciFi clone story exploring individualism via characters who show us their whole heart. Likability, charm. That’s what draws me in. It’s also a slow burn mystery, where resolutions feel perpetually postponed. And lots of very bad things happen. Who is getting the worst of it? Why? There...Read full review »

WOWZA 🙌❤️

Like all podcasts that start out the creator makes the mistake of thinking folks need to hear him ramble on. We love the show, not YOU! Great show, season 2 starts a bit slow and plods along compared to season one but.... it’s worth it to push through.

I really loved Season 1, but eventually I had no tolerance for the ads. The same 3.5 minute cutesy ad wasn’t so cutesy when it was every week, then there were ads for other podcasts, promotion of their patreon account, and call-outs to individual donors. In a 10-15 (occasionally 20) minute...Read full review »

Fantastic writing, excellent voice acting. I’m not usually a sci-fi fan because I hate hate heavy-handed exposition. But the writing cleverly skirts that issue plus provides compelling personality and growth for each of the characters. I also love the short, tight episodes and that each season...Read full review »

Only on episode two but enjoying every element of this podcast. The acting and sound effects make me feel like I am there. The storyline is intriguing and unique. The character’s personalities are distinct and witty.

Just stopping in to say I’m excited to see remastered versions go live. I already loved the show the first time around and didn’t need an excuse to listen to it for the… sixth time… but here we are!
Tedimus Prime via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/20
We turned it on & we couldn’t tune out. Between the action sequences, executed with deft narration and sfx, and the long con character build. We didn’t stop at season one.
Shrouded Lover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/20
What a great story I loved it
Cmebcrazy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/20
This is the first podcast I’ve listened to that was so good I’ve chosen to review it. I’ve just finished the first season and I’m so impressed. This is an excellent story with clearly defined characters and it’s perfectly paced, quite gripping and so cinematic (in my head). I can imagine it...Read full review »

The story idea is great but script writing is awful. It’s painful at times and has nearly stopped me listening a few times. With some collaboration with an actual script writer this could be excellent.
Pauliejarvo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/25/19
I just finished listening to this and I can’t wait for more!
Ak.Fr via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/17/19
Really enjoyed the story. Actors are believable and so are the sound effects. Looking forward to moving on to season 2&3

Got to episode 7 before I finally gave up on it. Maybe it gets better? Hopefully. It’s certainly not.by episode 7.

I really enjoyed this series and binged it in a few days. The storyline was really interesting and captivating. I felt fully immersed. The voice acting was top notch. I’ve listened to one too many podcasts where the actors sounded like they were only reading, which can be grating. I loved all of...Read full review »

I love this, the characters, the world-building and the story are all brilliantly done. Well worth listening to!!

IceRiceHelen via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/17/19
I love this series and how it transforms from space Lord of the Flies to a cooler version of the Star Wars Republic Commando Extended universe, before they retconned it. Excited to see where it goes next!

Ali Hylton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/19
This show is gripping, well acted and well plotted. I love these types of podcasts, large cast fiction audio dramas. Many of them are decent, most are amateur at best. The Orphans is one of the best. It and “The Phenomenon” are on par with each other and sit just below “We’re Alive” as far as...Read full review »

Each new season expands the universe and introduces the listener to new yet familiar characters. Excellent show that will keep you coming back for more.
fbeemcee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/18
This show is great quality from top to bottom. The acting, writing, production, and sound design are all fantastic. The story is a gripping sci-fi drama that starts small and unfolds into a wider, darker universe. I can't recommend this show enough.Read full review »

A real top notch show with intrigue, suspense and comedy If you’re into scfi this is a drama for you!

Lazy writing that uses women’s pain to advance men’s stories
profampersand via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/18
I like the multiple narrators in this show, which allow us to see the world and have the experiences through different perspectives!

Just found The Orphans. Great production values, great voice acting and fantastic and intriguing storyline. Love Geoffrey’s sassy-ness.
cjnet24 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/07/18
Aside from being a fascinating story that features excellently executed variations on scifi as a genre in each season, The Orphans is in a class all its own when it cones to production values. This is a show you’ll not only want to listen to, but listen to closely with headphones on, just so you...Read full review »

One of the greatest audio-dramas I have ever listened. Totally worth giving it a try.
