Brilliant, weird, funny

A wild and interesting story that keeps getting better, along with witty narration and a cool, original soundtrack.

Amazing ahahaha

Spoiler for episode 2 just FYI

Anyways so I can’t stop laughing at the second episode when Mike says he can’t just call up his friends and be like “hey guys I’m just brainstorming but I need to know the best way to remove my left arm at the shoulder…” because if I said that to my friends they would not find this bizarre at all and would casually go through the possibilities 😂 anyways immediately subscribed to patreon after that . Ok well bye now

Everything I didn't know I wanted in a piece of media

The story starts off strong and has just gotten more compelling over time. It's SO well-written with an incredibly human cast of characters. It's a labor of love, so full of heart, obviously thoughtfully crafted. The soundtrack is top notch and there's an absurdly impressive number of vocal tracks as well. The blend of horror elements, tension, and humor is executed in a way that keeps it feeling fresh and keeps me wanting more. I don't think I can praise this show enough. Do yourself a favor and listen to WOE.BEGONE.
