"...the skillful part of this podcast is within its two centralized characters’ bond development, collation, and relationship-forming. The starting cadence for this ten-part show sets off impressively up until about the midway point. IMO, It’s from this juncture that the plotline feels as if it’s trying too hard to fill in a contextual backstory. El’s husband’s backstory was a pleasant segway into her past but strangely felt like it was included as a time filler exercise. It has a weird dark sense of humor that fits perfectly within its supernatural thriller landscape. Both actors equally deliver awesome performances."
