  • Summary

  • It’s not the end of the world…it’s much worse than that.

    When the world was supposed to end everyone did things they never normally would…none more so than Siobhan, who wakes up on her floor, hungover, dumped by her no-good boyfriend and with a strange man in her bed…who turns out to be more than a little bit dead.

    A comedy thriller that features snappy dialogue, a crunching soundtrack and immersive sound design all set on a university campus that is filled with cold corpses, weird suspects, and the occasional wild hippo. A whodunnit that turns into 'a what the hell did I do?' and ends up asking 'who am I?'

    A Whistledown Production.  

    Starring Sooz Kempner, Tuwaine Barrett, Juliet Aubrey and Laurely Lefkow. Based on an original idea by series producer Lance Dann and written by Adam Barnard and Sonia Jalaly, with sound design by Simon James, music by Orlando Harrison, and the executive producer was Anishka Sharma.

Entertaining

Entertaining, silly, fun genre-bending chaos with great acting by an ensemble cast.

A guaranteed apocalyptic event only temporarily disables communications & electronic tech across the globe, instead of incinerating the earth as expected.

This is the story of one what happened among one small-ish group of people, and their tangly web of other connections in the days following the apocalypse that didn’t happen.

A combo of Murder-mystery
+ Dark comedy
+ Post-quasi-apocalyptic thriller

Complete with temporary amnesia, scientists, doomsday cults, artists, romantic relationship complications & confusions, friends, family, and much more.

Love British Humor

Great production and funny satire! All the characters were good. I especially like Tuwaine Barret as Martin.

enjoyed the story (speculative-like IMO) and i really enjoyed the audio format

i think this worked well as podcast episodes. i think i just liked the story more than other people because it's a silly or weird concept that appeals to me. i liked the audio production quality and all the extra stuff they added in addition to the words

Meh.

The writing was uninspired. The characters were contrived and unlikable. I listened to the end in hopes my mind would be changed, but it disappointed.

Okay, I guess.

The whole thing was bizarre and not in a fun way. I wish I could explain it better but honestly it fell flat.
