Customer Reviews
Good
Overall I enjoy the podcast- I don’t understand the Gordon dislike, he’s fine. The main character is a bit shrill and some of the dialogue is a bit… sitcom-y one liners and little jokes that i could do without bc it’s meaningless banter. Like 5-6 lines to convey something that could be conveyed in 1 -2 lines. But it’s fine. The setting is cool - Id like more description somehow and less banter but not sure how that could work in an audio drama without a narrator? Anyway it’s creative and clearly a lot of work went into it. I appreciate the bridge water crossover. I do agree with another reviewer that felt uncomfortable with the use of Native American myth. Coulda used something else….thats a bit dated and used and has some valid criticisms. But I’d definitely listen to another season or a cross over/ spin off. (Oh and if any producers are reading : the variation in voice is super helpful for a generation raised on tv and internet! The sheriff was instantly recognizable of course but other secondary characters like Avery’s parents took a second- especially since episodes are short and spread out. )
Boring and Annoying
As a Supernatural and Bridgewater fan, I had to try this because of Ruth Connell and Genevieve Padalecki - and, of course, Misha Collins. I really, really wanted to like it, but it’s no Bridgewater - the story is boring and the majority of the characters are unlikable. Sarah is shrill and annoying and I actually cringed every time I heard her voice. Some of the other characters also routinely switch from English to Spanish and no translation is provided - listeners are just supposed to know Spanish and if they don’t they just have to miss part of the story for being ignorant (according to the show’s creators). There’s also an emphasis on social justice that is SO heavy handed that it makes the “story” unpalatable for those who just want to relax without being preached to - it starts in the first two minutes and just keeps on being beaten into you. Basically, despite the beloved actors from Supernatural the other actors and The Message bring this show down and make it a huge disappointment. It’s not fun or enjoyable and it’s a genuine slog to get to the incredibly unsatisfying end.
