- Why I love TMA
The Magnus archives has changed the way I view horror and is by far my favorite piece of fiction in that genre. I was so hooked the whole way through and now whenever I see a scary movie or video I’m always grouping it into the entity’s because for me, it is a useful way to think about fear. A zombie movie; gosh that’s so corruption and hunt. A video about cave diving; I’m feeling so buried right now.

Just discovered it and am loving the show. Top notch acting and sound design. Doing my best to space out my listening so I don’t burn through the archive but not entirely successful

Voice acting? 10/10. Writing? 10/10. Worldbuilding? 10/10. This is one of the best pieces of media I have ever consumed. I would definitely recommend.

I started listening to this a few months ago at my friend's suggestion and by god was she right. This is one of the best series I've ever experienced. It has such incredible writing and sound design, allowing you to experience older episodes with your new lens of the future and still gain some new incite on those older moments. I've been trying to indoctrinate as many of my friends as possible since experiencing peak. I'm looking forward to starting up protocol once my finals are finished :)
