A Noble Fiction
Both entertaining and thought provoking. Timely and timeless.
I can’t recommend this highly enough.
Binge this!
The attention to detail in the construction of this world is fantastic! Frank has such a clear sense of the time/place of this show and the result is an incredibly captivating and powerful production. The actor performances are just perfect and we loved getting lost in this world! -The Call of the Void Team
