Good but flawed.
I just finished season 2 (10-3-20). I found this similar to Limetown or Darkest Night. The short stories of each episode are quite intriguing. If you don’t think too critically, it’s pretty decent. I found a few things that took me out of the experience. The pauses to play music at a “dun-dun-dun” moments cut the narration and went too long which broke immersion for me. And in some of the documents supposed to be police reports or such were too detailed as a report from the perspective of some one who just experienced trauma. However the descriptions of the scenes were well written and allowed you to visualize it all in your head, but a person in flight or flight mode would not usually recall such details. Once the religious aspect of demons or the similarities of Hydra to MK Ultra were brought in, it kinda lost me as well. That all being said, I gave a listen all the way through just to see if my expectations would be subverted and give it a chance to maybe steer away from those tropes. The parts that are good are good, the parts that are bad are noticeable. So I still give this podcast a high rating, because despite its flaws, I still wanted to listen. I look forward to see what season 3 will bring and how things get tied together.

I know sometimes there’s not much choice in sponsors, but as soon as I heard a “Better Health” ad, I turned it off. All credibility lost & won’t even grace it with a listen if that’s the kind of sponsors they bring on.

If you enjoy the formula of The Magnus Archives, you'll love this. There are some fantastic stand alone stories in here. Even if it doesn’t always quite work when the stories are woven together, it’s still a a great ride.Read full review »
