Customer Reviews
Interesting premise, poor execution
Clearly lots of planning has gone into this and the writing is actually quite good. But it’s very much let down by the acting. Pretty much every cast member sounds exactly as though they are reading from a script - and it sounds terribly unnatural and really takes you out of the story.
It’s too bad because the production quality isn’t bad, good music and decent sound effects. I listened to all 6 in the hopes the acting would improve, but it didn’t. If they do another season, I really hope they address this because it’ll really improve the believability of the story.
