  • Snooze fest

    The concept was promising, but the execution was painfully redundant. The endless variations of “the story lives on” made it feel more like a spoken-word loop than a narrative. There were glimpses of the Flying Dutchman’s legend, but they were buried under repetitive platitudes. I put this on to listen to an engaging story, but instead almost fell asleep .
