Oakbridge - A Sci-Fi Mystery Audio Drama

Interesting bit of 80s creature thriller nostalgia. Only complaint I had was that I had a hard time telling the adult male chars apart at times. Still a good story. Well done all!

I hate shows (and writers) that don’t take the time to do their homework and get their facts straight. For example, in an early episode, a character gets on the P.A. system and sounds a Code Red alarm for something that escaped from their laboratory. The “code” system is pretty standardized, and a Code Red signifies a fire! That’s just one of many details that should never have made it into these episodes. As a result, the believability factor drops way down. The other big problem is the producers cast at least one girl to play a boy in the cast, and it’s painfully obvious, and it doesn’t work. It’s beyond cringe. Oakbridge needs better writers with better stories, an in-house Fact Checker, and the correct gender actors playing the characters. I can’t believe it’s been picked up for a second season.

So far this pod is like a CW tv drama that is a compilation of cliches. Hardboiled cop from the city who moves back to a small town but then violence happens, small town mayor who is worried about the big festival and commerce, separating parents, angsty teens, a government facility that is more than it seems…

Recycled story, mediocre acting (sounds like they read it once and called it good). Don’t have any new criticisms to add from other negative reciews. Just watch stranger things. Nuff said.
