Customer Reviews
Gripping!!
As an avid fan of apocalyptic/post apocalyptic fiction, this was a gem!! Great plot, wonderful voice characterizations and (mostly) believable interactions. I never liked audiobooks because I found them slow and the narration annoying …but an immersive podcast? I’m hooked!
Wokeness over storytelling.
The writers let woke left wing messaging get in the way of what could have been an interesting story. But what do you expect these days.
Suddenly became unrealistic
I’m on the episode of the trial. I was entertained up to this point but realism and believability just fell off the cliff for me. That trial scene/writing is NOT very realistic. Smh.
I’m really not sure if I’m going to listen any more, probably not.
