A Mostly Solid Stab at New Weird

“I’m a huge, huge fan of New Weird, and this kind of thing is right up my alley. For anyone who’s considering listening and wants a sense of what to expect stylistically, think David Lynch’s Lost Highway. You have to be willing to put in some work, and if you’re not ready for it, I could easily see it being jarring and confusing. This is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but for the most part it was mine.
Why “for the most part”? There were two issues for me that brought my rating down: First, I think the voice acting and dialogue for some of the characters needed work. It wasn’t a huge deal, but was occasionally distracting. By itself, that might not have affected the rating, but more significantly, I went from feeling creeped out and anxious at the end of the penultimate episode (which is a good thing!) to feeling really pretty disappointed by almost the entire final episode. It was going so well, I didn’t expect the ending to fall flat for me like that.
If you’re into New Weird, surrealism, experimental art, and media that exists in that kind of space, I’d say it’s worth a listen. The ending might feel more satisfying to you than it did to me, and the rest of the episodes were pretty engaging.”

“The David Lynch of Audio Dramas, but with a touch more style and narrative drive. I am enthralled. Cannot wait for season two!!!”

“For fans of The Deep Vault & Archive 81, but who wanted it to be more David Lynch and less coherent storytelling. If you loved the Twin Peaks revival, this is definitely for you. I found it to be mediocre and disjointed at the start, and it only got worse as it went on.”
