You guys don’t understand how much I love this series, everything about it is perfect the actors the pacing the plot it’s all so good I feel like I can vividly picture it all in my head 5/5
Apple Podcasts5jada onyeUnited States23 days ago - Love the story just not the entitlement
Love the powers and everything like that. Reminds me of xmen in a way. I just thought Damien and mark are very toxic and could give people the wrong ideas. Also the entitlement issues of most of the characters really is scary. There’s so many people like this in real life and it almost sensationalizing it in this podcast which is what’s scary. Not everyone needs to know everything about everyone.

I felt the plot kinda skewed more towards superhero stuff than the mental health aspects as time went on. Still an amazingly solid heartfelt story.
