Customer Reviews
Powerful and Honest
This show is intimate, personal, and forces you to reckon with the human element of humanity among the stars. Seren is a colonist, alone with an AI, in a ship hurtling through space.
The quality of the sound design and acting are lovely, and immediately draw you into the space. It feels claustrophobic, and you can feel Seren's frustration and desperation as the story goes on.
If you're looking for a solid, well-done sci-fi audio drama with a story to tell, check this out.
Moving, Deep, Entertaining
This is a beautifully crafted sci-fi drama about loneliness, loss, and the desire to belong. We follow Seren, who has been banished from her planet as she is transported through space to an unknown future. Nerys performs the title role with grace and great depth, she really knows how pack an emotional wallop. The storytelling is compelling and the structure is expertly done. Bravo, brava, bravi, brave! I am very impressed with this creator and this show.
Love!
I cant wait to see what happens with Seren!! This is wonderfully done. Gives me a bit of “Girl In Space” vibes, which I absolutely love. Its well done and draws you in immediately. Love!!!
