United States2 months ago - Avoid.
Every character has extreme drama and trauma. Formulaic all told from the same lens. Every character essentially the same. Listened to first 4 seasons and a couple episodes into 5. With my job I easily crush podcasts. I gave this one plenty of opportunity so you don’t have to. Unless you like soap operas. Then by all means enjoy.
Apple Podcasts1emXmFUnited States3 months ago - Annoying therapist
The concept is great but the therapist talks and behaves in annoying and unprofessional ways that a real skilled therapist wouldn't: offering concrete advice, chastising, condescending, making promises that she wouldn't know whether she could keep... shame!
Apple Podcasts3Mui TsunUnited Kingdom5 months ago - One of the best
This is one of my all-time favourite audio drama projects, thank you guys for making this! Amazing story, great voice acting, everything ties together in the plot and there are no weird loose ends (even over 8 seasons - impressive!), great sound quality with no unnecessary/distacting sounds or music - truly everything in this show is done so well. Thank you guys!
