Really weird choice to make the actors be literally always sobbing. I’m assuming it wasn’t the actors fault unless they all coincidentally chose to overact in the exact same way, plus it wasn’t so much bad acting as it was just unrealistic, so I’m blaming production. Two years out at sea running from literally everything and surviving from rain water and fishing you’d think it’d be a pretty obvious choice to make the characters more aloof/numb/stoic, used to doing what’s necessary to survive, anything more realistic than having an emotional sobbing meltdown every minute of the day (not to mention the high pitch of the whining from all three of them being pretty hard on the ears). Just seemed like someone needed to remind them that there are ways to act anxious/ terrified without sounding like your literally in tears all the time. It was very distracting to say the least, definitely takes you out of the story which could have been a lot spookier /more tense had they made the characters act a bit more realistically. Hoping it gets better in the second season.

While decently produced, the non stop dread and crying and sobbing is just too tedious. I listed to all of it but had to fast forward through many sections. My goodness the crying nonstop from the mother and daughter are never ending.

And the plot is fantastic. Deserves 5 stars and puts all other podcasts to shame!

From start to finish this has been the best audio drama I have ever heard. I can not wait for more and see where the story will lead us. Each character is believable and relatable. I’ve laughed and definitely cried my eyes out more than once, but that’s what makes it so good, you can feel what each character is feeling. You want to fight with them.

This tense audio drama follows the Cooper family as they attempt to survive on a small sailboat in a post-apocalyptic world. One unique feature of this drama is that every episode is told from a different family member’s perspective. The show is appropriately tense, well-written, and expertly produced.

This podcast is written so beautifully. It’s an edge of your seat thriller that must be listen to! Love it!

This is so good! Gripping and edge of your seat action, with sensitive writing and top notch acting. Loving it.
