Above the Rest with Soundscapes, Story, and Acting!
I am a firm believer that going the extra mile with soundscapes *completely* makes or breaks a fiction podcast. There’s simply no comparing those of this caliber that spend the time to detail the sound of a knife cutting canvas or what a storm sounds like to navigate, or background noises like machinery and recognizable gadgets characters are talking over… and my favorite: very distinctly differentiating the narrator’s inner thoughts from what they are actually saying out loud to other characters. That last one makes so many other podcasts confusing because it’s hardly ever done right.
I enjoyed the acting SO much, too. Actors are all really believable and I am high-fiving the production and direction staff here! *Everyone* did amazing - inflection and emotion are clearly conveyed but not overly “stagey”. Superb! Storyline is awesome, too! Well done. One of the best in YEARS. Top five fiction, up there with Leviathan Chronicles. 🙌 Loved this!
First Season was Great!!
Loved the first season!! Second season’s fake romance was completely uncalled for!! Why couldn’t they stick to the story line…..uhhh ruined it
Solid story!
