Customer Reviews
Great Dramady Podcast!
Absolutely everything about this podcast is excellent: the story, the actors, the music. It couldn't be more entertaining! Just terrific production!
Excellent production
Top notch comedic and dramatic voice acting, with a satisfying array of characters, with various accents like posh British, Irish, and in season 2, German. Also excellent music, at times atmospheric and creepy and then carnival jingles.
I like the comedy of this show as it arises naturally from the character dynamics, and doesn’t feel forced. The characters are a hoot in themselves, such as the one older lady who had the hots for a young guy.
The mystery especially in season 1 is thrilling and even skin crawling, as the murders keep rising and gets closer to the protagonists.
The season 2 mystery didnt have as strong a finale, as one character’s background wasn’t really developed enough to foreshadow the ending. And another character from season 1 was hinted at returning but it did not happen. Perhaps there are loose ends for season 3.
Even so, I was thoroughly entertained by the voice acting. The German accent can be hilarious and isn’t that common in stories beyond WWII ones. I liked the change of pace.
While I don’t think of season 2 as a slum dunk, it still is very well produced and fun to listen to, if you don’t want a heavy mystery. All the voice actors sound like they’re having fun, and that makes all the difference.
Grew on me
Trousers Meowsers! This one was kind of a slow burn for me. The premise was… Interesting and that was what originally drew me in. At first, I don’t know, I struggled to get into it. I’m giving this five stars but realistically, I probably say it’s 4.5-4.7, I do enjoy the humor in the wit of it. The voice actors are great. I’ve even enjoyed recognizing and hearing them on other things like Midnight Burger (which is about a 10 out of 5 IMO). I haven’t dove into the Magenta podcasts yet, but I do plan to. They seem very witty. Not my absolute fave, but definitely in my top 20.
