I don’t usually listen to this genre but I am loving this. Love the stories the styles and actors voices. Brilliant

Too much background music
Got fed up trying to listen to the story through the distracting background music. The distraction causes the story to ramble and I can’t decide what to focus on. Shame as I like the idea.

Who Killed Aldridge Kemp?
As brilliant a quirky English show as you would ever hope you find. Binged over the weekend and loved every bit. So glad Mrs Boon featured more this time around.
Great sequel.
Really hope there’s a third series for Clara & Co.

Why the BBC commissioned this incoherent drivel I just don’t know. The normally excellent BBC podcasts like Cryptoqueen and coming Storm are lessened by this rambling mess. Avoid far better available.

Splinter Cell
Loved this series. Just like playing the game. I wish they’d bring it back. Great sound quality. If you loved the game, you’ll love this special series.

Waste of time!
I don’t ever remember abandoning a thriller action mystery type fiction podcast before. I persevered but just couldn’t manage this one. Bad script and even worse sound mix.

Really good
Omfg I cannot believe there is a STRAIGHT character in The System. It adds nothing to the plot. I wish they’d stop shoving this far right nonsense down our throats.
See what it sounds like the other way round?
Inclusion is nothing bad. Just because a podcast has LGBTQ+ representation doesn’t mean you must avoid it like the plague.
Thanks BBC, I love these. The shortness of the dramas stop them from being dragged out and boring. I like Who Is Aldrich Kemp? and the Examplar series plays with sound really well. The one about the missing house wasn’t really my cup of tea (see how I didn’t throw a strop?) but the rest are good.
English Rose can be a bit distressing at times but it all works out in the end
[I mean no harm against anyone who is straight. I respect everyone no matter their sexuality or gender. I do have a thing against homophobes though 😡]

Disappointed
What’s the point of making these available on the Apple podcast app when none of them play?
Even the ones from last month say they are unavailable. Disappointed because the write up looked interesting.

Woke/ again
Update, third time lucky I thought, started exemplar, 5 mins in the girl says “I live with my girlfriend “ wt f is it with all you millennials at the bbc, I can see you all in your committees only agreeing to dramas that pass the woke pc test, pathetic, this is after the literally last three dramas I tried listening to that must be woke even if it dosnt fit the story, you do know don’t you all this sh17 is pervading our schools and we have unprecedented mental health issues with our kids, re you can be what you want to be even non gender, just F off!
1st review

Love these stories
Fabulous collection ♥️

Who is Aldrich Kemp?
The Prisoner meets The Avengers meets Modesty Blaise with a hint of the Psychedelic Spy. I want more.

Exciting thriller
I loved this story of polarised siblings upbringing journeying through a “Jason Bourne’ storyline with a couple of great twists. Thank you for the production - loved it.

Siege
I gave up on this one after 2 episodes. Every cliche South London accent the BBC can find, I just didn’t gel with the story. Other stories in this strand have been pretty good, just couldn’t like this one, sorry.

Steelheads
An interesting idea, hampered by a poor script and laboured acting.

Listen to this!!
I really enjoyed “the system” & “the house that vanished” I’m just getting onto the 3rd season. So far so good!

Strung out too long
An interesting story with a fairly predictable end strung out too long. It would have made a good one hour program.

Fantastic series
Having travelled to Tory Island, I can understand how Neville fell in love with it. I can also see how things would have became very difficult for an outsider trying to get answers.
I loved this series, so well put together, what an interesting story. Well worth a listen.

Excellent drama series
Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! At the end of my seat whole time!!!

Addictive!
Excellent, original drama series. From start to finish, I couldn’t stop listening and ended up listening to the whole series in one session.

Unique, gripping story line.
It’s not often you come across a completely novel story line, this is a breath of fresh air. It’s a ‘stand out of the crowd’ immersive drama with great acting. Really enjoying it, unique and interesting take on the times we live in.

Absolutely gripping!
This is so so good!! So clever, and absorbing. I'm totally addicted. Brilliant writing, performance, and whole production.
