“This is a really cool concept for a show! I have a complicated relationship with my own Dad Character, so it’s super interesting to hear someone else delving into that same baggage and unpacking it. There are elements of Jan’s story that I can relate to, and some that I really can’t, but the show brings it all together to holds my attention and make something I can enjoy.
Now the downside: it is WAY over-acted. I should call it Acting With A Capitol A because it’s like, drama school acting, drenching everything in thick emotion acting. The audio clips of past debriefs are fine, even when they’re very emotional, because they’re authentic. But the voiceovers that were clearly scripted and performed after the fact are ROUGH to listen to, full of dramatic pauses and choked little gasps and calculated sighs. It’s honestly distracting. Carson is much more subtle in her lines, but Jan, tone it down a notch or two! Your show’s emotion speaks for itself, you don’t have to pour it on every syllable of narration to get that across!”
