Customer Reviews
Poetic and enthralling
The first episode of the second season is one of the most visceral audio experiences I've heard. Fome solitude to uncertainty, this show builds tension through well-executed emotional vulberability--everything from the writing to the acting to the music is essential in conveing Chaika's fragile emotional state, and the poems of the day are such a clever way to add additional emotinal context. Can't wait for the rest of season 2!
