Be warned, this ends with the story nowhere near finished. I assume a second season was planned but as this was released in 2022 I'm betting yet another great work is left unfinished due to lack of funding. Such a pity as it is we'll acted and immersive.
Really interesting storyline with great acting, immersive audio, and standout approach to story telling. I hope there is more to come! It was refreshing to find this 🏝️
These should all come with a warning when they’re left unfinished. A great start - characters & acting, but not looking good for future episodes since it’s been so long…
I was really enjoying this podcast. I would’ve rated it higher if it had been complete.
The story is pretty engaging. However, it is incomplete.
This is a great story. When do we get season 2?
I was enjoying this podcast but the ending of episode 6 was abrupt. I was sitting there wondering, is this really it? As it debuted last year I’m guessing that is the case. Too bad as it was a truly engaging series.
Please make another season, or 4! Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast and would love to listen to some more.
Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2! Season 2! season 2!
Just found this and it’s very well written and acted. Wish there were a season 2.
Very well written and made. Hopeful for season 2.
I’ll correct my review once the problem is fixed, but c’mon man! You’ve got a great story, then…nothing. Please help us get off the edge of our seats.
I need the rest of this story I’ve been waiting months
🤍💜🤍
When is this coming back? It has been amazing so far!
