“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 »

“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 »

“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 »
