Customer Reviews
It’s good.
First season is worth a skip. Second season starts out awesome, but halfway through it turns into this substandard police drama with AI thrown in. Not my cup of tea personally. Was perfectly content exploring the dynamic of the protagonist and the existence of his AI ghost wife. I found most of the supporting characters quite dull and one-dimensional. But I still enjoyed the first half of the second season and the overall acting enough to warrant a 4-star. There were even some moments where the series played with psychological horror elements. These scenes were a joy to listen to and genuinely creepy. You’ll know them when they come up. Let’s just say you’ll never hear stuttering the same way again.
Take a drink every time Ross gets interrupted by somebody. I’m not responsible for your liver.
Season 1 eh/season 2 good
Season 1 is just very bland and it feels like a stretch to pair these two up. Life After was a great idea but lost it’s way in the middle and later chapters. Still good, cool idea and worth the adventure but wish it was cleaner.
