  • 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.

Pretty Good

Performances and Story were good but I found it a bit drawn out - still worth a listen though

Wish I hadn’t spent time on this

The story just didn’t really go anywhere. The performance was fine I just found myself annoyed with the characters and their voices at times. It had such a high star rating I assumed it would be a good listen and finished it but never could really enjoy it.

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.

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.

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.

Just OK

Kept falling asleep. Sound effects were time consuming and a distraction. Glad it is over.
