Cape Lock

I didn't like this one very much. The reporting duo worked together and the show kicks off well. At a certain point, the reporter Christina talks about "all the people she's lost along the way", yet only 1 person has died... And it's been only 4 days since she's started reporting. I might have these details wrong, but these rubbed me the wrong way while listening. It just felt weird and out of place. I have no problem with a reporter being totally invested in her work and I would have understood... more

First: I listened to this on a vacation a year ago so excuse me if I have some details wrong, I'll write everything as well as I remember it. This review also contains spoilers!

This podcast left me a little confused. It had all the right ingredients- a journalistic duo with an interesting dynamic, an intriguing mystery and a seemingly supernatural background but somehow I still couldn't fully get into it. I liked the nods to Limetown and the spooky atmosphere in the first episodes and I rememb... more

First off, the lead actors are awful. Their acting is reminiscent of someone doing reading something rather than saying it; there is little emotion or engagement with the material. When the reporter does display any emotion, it’s either an inappropriate, giggly mocking tone that makes no sense or a weak faux outrage. Further, that same character supposedly lives in a U.S. town, but pronounces “sorry” like a Canadian and mispronounces “Nevada.”

Additionally, there are continuity issues IN THE FI... more

The voice acting is so bad. I can normally withstand it for a good story but the plot is subpar at best. Just listen to Limetown. It’s the same thing but better.

A lot of things happen very quickly but few things are well explained.

Interesting premise, unfortunately the writing and acting is appalling.

Is this really it? Writers are great and the cast nails it. There is a real optimism within Christina Glass. If that’s the end...many will be left wanting more. I enjoyed the ride so far! Thanks for giving enjoyable entertainment to this essential worked on a few long rides.

The story could of been good. Fell apart really quick. Ending is bad and the main character shouldn’t speak. She just horrible actor and boring.

I'll be honest, I didn't know what to expect from this audio drama. At first I thought it was going to be another fictional piece of investigative journalism, however it turned into a lot more.

The story took a little while to get into, but I soon came to appreciate the willingness of Christina Glass' character. Although she seemed a bit impulsive at times, it was interesting to see how deep she went into her investigation of Cape Loco, even though it possibly cost her, her life.

I really want to like this podcast, it has limetown vibes and the mystery as initially presented is fascinating. But the podcast is plagued with poor pacing and reveals that don’t really feel significant. Additionally, the main character is frustratingly monotone regardless of context and doesn’t react at all to big reveals.

Interesting concept and that police chief is some talent! Give that guy a raise.

Saw this advertised on Reddit and decided to give it a listen since I LOVE the investigative mockumentary genre of podcast, and there aren’t that many. Great production quality, and the so far the universe seems mysterious but very believable as far as a character motivation, dialogue, etc (a perfect peeve of mine that the investigative mockumentary genre sometimes misses, pulling the listener out of the story). I think the first episode set up the premise of the show really well— a slow boil th... more

Very excited for this podcast!
