Popular Reviews of Still Lives

This is a very different post-apocalyptic show - mysterious, distanced and intimate at the same time. Every character has secrets and their current life seems somehow shallow. It´s interesting how the things, that are NOT said, plays into the story of the untold.It goes without saying that change is coming.I´m really looking forward to see where this goes.

I would have to spoil the ending to explain why nothing about this show makes sense. You can read my spoiler review on the last episode page. For here, I'll just say, nothing that the Scientist says to the cook about the device, nothing about all the handwringing about how it's dangerous or useless, actually applies once the reveal happens. And once the reveal happens, everything is fine and dandy and the Scientist has done a 180 flip. It's the Lost effect, where the writers hold out a mystery box but they jam in an ending that doesn't match it. Not only is this exploitative of the audience, it ends up making a presumably scientifically literate Scientist look like an irrational technophobe, who isn't able to keep from conflating technology with evil.

This podcast has always felt Big to me, in a quiet sort of way. I love the way the story unfolds, and unlike a previous reviewer I think the ending makes perfect sense in context of the story. I wish there were more post-apocalypse stories that felt like this one.The soundscaping is also wonderful.

I absolutely loved this series. Please make a season two!
