The Line audio drama

The strongest thing about this show is the plot, the plot twists, and the music. This is definitely a product of its time and I’m sure if they made it with today’s resources it’d be much better. It’s 100% a rated R NSFW story that is not for everybody and some of the writing/jokes would be considered insensitive today. As someone else said, it’s so bad it’s good. Some things I was very pleasantly surprised by: I actually reeeally liked the plot twists, this is very sex positive even compared to 2022’s audio dramas, and SO MANY queer lead/supporting lead characters that were COOL and INTERESTING and just *existed*.

Keep all politics to yourself.

OMG! I binged the whole thing in about a week (which is fast for me). The acting is pretty good, the overall plot is interesting and everything else is so bad, it’s good. I couldn’t decide what to rate something like this. I can’t give it a bad rating because I, somehow, enjoyed it but don’t go into thinking that you’re about to have an amazing audio adventure. The characters are incredibly dumb. They take SO long to learn the simplest lessons. Lessons that they really should have already known. The editing is rough and, at times, kinda painful. The sex is laughable and seems to pop up out of nowhere (pun not intended). The cursing is way over the top and the plot is difficult to follow. I still don’t know who “the 7” were nor why they were there. And still, with all of that going against it and more, I couldn’t stop listening. I wouldn’t put this anywhere near the top of your list of need to hear podcasts, however, if you’re running out of good ones and have a bit of time to kill, give it a listen, you could take something out of it.

Due to recent ethical concerns I’ll no longer be listening to Pendant shows/podcasts as of February 4.
