"Tautly written and well-acted by its small cast, the podcast combines shades of The X-Files and the HBO psychotherapy drama In Treatment, plus the youthful characters of a WB drama like Roswell or Smallville, into one compulsively listenable tale. It’s modern in its ideas but a throwback in its execution, a testament to the simple power of good storytelling that makes it an excellent pastime for, say, a holiday road trip home. The Bright Sessions reminds us that all any story really needs are compelling characters and a interesting tale told well."
