Worth a try
I’m picky about sci-fi audio dramas, but this one won me over with its tight script, fast-paced plot, and always stellar sound design and score. At first I feared the character work was too economical, but a few episodes in we get to know and care about the cast. Alexine, the tightly controlled scientist protagonist, combines idealism and ruthlessness in an interesting way, and Nico, the messy revolutionary, makes a good foil for her, though I especially liked his sidekicks, Nova and Sai. The sci-fi & political ideas at play (the harm of political polarization, attitudes toward disability, and old-fashioned conspiracy theories) feel relevant and engaging without being too ham-fisted. Above all, the writing is tight, so much so that I almost wish it had wrapped up with 8 episodes (as it teases us it will) without throwing in the last-minute cliffhanger. But I will gladly listen to season 2!
