Fast cuts & witty dialogue with fabulous music and artful scoring throughout. In case you ever wonder the reach - it found me down in South Georgia. ♥️ Luvs it
Ps what food is “zaincrew” ?
So mad it’s over.
This is definitely worth the listen. I have seen many Goldies, I’ve even been her before. This is such a beautifully told story, definitely craving more from this. Great job.
Beautifully Told
Such a beautifully told story. I can’t even describe it. It’s about SO MANY things! I’m dying for a season 2.
