Great show. Meh ending.

The production is great. The storyline is good and intriguing. All the actors did great. I’m not going to remove a star for it, the ending is not terrible, but it’s anticlimactic, forgettable, and I felt like they just didn’t know what to do with the storyline so it just kind of ends. It kind of makes me wonder what the purpose of the British friend was, he went to look for her, but nothing, literally nothing, it just ends. No explanation that I recall of how he got the tapes or how she could have gotten the tapes back “out of the road.” It might not be a plot hole since no explanation was even attempted, but it feels cheap. Again, it feels like the show was going full steam ahead and then just derailed in episode 10. Those might be harsh words for a 5 star review, but the first 9 episodes were among the best audio drama I have ever heard. Episode 10 isn’t terrible, but I feel like they producers were just tired of making it and called it quits.

uhliveone ,

what incredible show. i was quite literally on the edge of my seat (and scared!) throughout this series. this was well produced and well casted. Wishing for another season but it’s perfect as a capsule. love love love!
