An excellent sci-if western for people who don’t like sci-go westerns

An amendment from my earlier-posted review: just finished the most recent episode. OH. MY. GOSH. I was legitimately on the edge of my seat, wide-eyed, mouth agape, as that episode unfolded. Words cannot describe just how unbelievable INTENSE that episode was - I legit felt myself tear up after it ended from just she sheer magnitude of what had taken place… not just the drama but the TRAUMA of it. Unbelievable, in the best way possible. This show continues to blow me away! Give it a listen - you will NOT regret it!

The first season was pretty good - a little tough to follow the three-narrator storytelling device at first, but the story was engaging, the characters were exciting, and the cliffhanger at the end was AWESOME. Season 2 is, arguably, 100X bigger and better than its preceding season. HOLY. COW. These first four episodes of S2 have been INTENSE, especially episode 4. Again - HOLY. COW. Can’t wait for each episode to drop each week! Keep up the great work!

Beyond Worth the Listen

Fantastic story. Well written characters. Beautiful blend of comedic and mind-bogglingly dramatic. Flushed out settings with some of the best audio design out there!

Fantastic imagery

Really taken aback by how clear the imagery tells the story, especially in episode 8. Excellent storytelling
