Customer Reviews
Binge-Worthy
This show has amazing production value, and really keeps you hooked. The pacing, dialogue, and storyline are great and I was very invested
Sound effects are really annoying
A pretty decent podcast, but the sound effects are really cheesy and annoying at best and outright headache inducing at worst. I fell asleep to this podcast tonight and was woken up by the absolute worst background music/sounds effects, which went on for a solid 5 minutes straight. It was the episode where Mark disappears and Tamara is playing back audio to try and figure out what happened to him. Other than that, this podcast is pleasantly entertaining.
Repeat Listener
This is one of my favorites, if not my actual favorite podcast. I just finished my fourth time through it, and I am still impressed with the writing and production on this show. I still hope we will get a second season at some point, but the one season holds up fine on it’s own. The unanswered questions still swirl around in my head from time to time, and I go back and listen again to see if there was anything I missed. There are only a few podcasts I will consume a second time. This one is definitely worth a first time to anyone who is into this genre.
