Love the intensity

Not sure why this is utterly overlooked on audible and completely unrated as of 3/15/2021 but I fell in love with this disturbing audio tale.

Season one good, season two not so much

Season one was good and I listened to the whole season in about two days. Season two was terrible the story didn’t coalesce well with season one. Going to remove Limetown from the library and think what could have been.

Underrated SF thriller!

Great story, superb production values, and a talented cast. Very much worth a listen.

Podcasts seem to be an ideal format for science fiction. The format itself brings a kind of “War of the Worlds” pseudo-realism to the story. This story is especially well told as a podcast.

Yes, there are some adds. It was easy to hit the 30 seconds forward button to skip past them, though that would be a real hassle while driving. Most of them are low-key ads for a mental health service.

Excellent all around

An exceptional production with a story that was very well written and crafted. I can't recommend this enough.

Compelling storyline and some great characters!

I have to admit the level of naivety on the part of the journalist/main character in the first season was mystifying and a bit cringy. Fortunately it didn't detract from the overall mystery and engaging storyline. The "fixer" in The following season was a much more enjoyable strong, smart and dynamic character. She certainly added to the intrigue. Highly recommend!

too many ads!

I stopped listening, way too many ads and the advertisement for mental help that plays over and over is ridiculous.

Way too many ads

I really wanted to like this podcast but only 10 minutes in it feels like over 60% of that time was spent listening to ads rather than the story. No thanks.
