“Super slow moving, very grim psychological SciFi thriller. There’s a bit of an unconvincing optimistic touch thrown on top, but nearly every other moment is a slow grinding description of layers and layers of threats, suffering, and violence. Lots of self harm, genocide, etc. Lots of discussion of racial issues early on, and this gets an extra star for bringing a Black writer onto the project. But there are also lots of holes in plot and character development. The audio work is interesting for playing with distance from mic to distinguish internal and external dialog, and lots of other 3D sound elements. So try headphones or something for at least some of it ... as far as I know the sound design is consistently done throughout, except a short song. There’s also droning repetitive background music throughout that takes the place of what I assume would be atmospheric sound design. That makes this feel super sleepy. Episodes are long, but not a lot happens, and much of the important action takes place at the very ends of the episodes, so playing it back to catch details (after you wake up and realize something important just happened) becomes complicated. There are also “in universe” style ads that really do not go with the rest of the podcast tone-wise, and are super long. The writers tried to tie them in, but it all just doesn’t work for me. Otherwise the voice acting is good. Some of the inner monologues are compelling. It just didn’t come together for me.”

“The soundscape for this made me imagine a scene of...actors standing in a studio reading line’s from a script.
For minimum wage.
Instead of working on this mess, perhaps they could have finished Darkest Night?”

“This is so great! Can’t wait to see where it’s going. I heard on Creepy and had to come right over. It seems like it’s majority an African American cast and I love that! & then to find out it’s Logan from Dear White People. I’m in love, love to see my people doing great. We need more podcasts...”Read full review »
