Borrasca (2020 Podcast Series) User Reviews

Needs to be a series!

This is so amazingly good! I've never heard a better podcast. I've binged it for a couple days now and I'm still not done. Can't stop. Actors are amazing and I can see it all even though it's just audio. Everyone needs to hear this!

It grips you from the start and tells such an intense and horrifying story. First you think it's some kind of myth or something but then it turns out reality is even scarier than a myth. The main characters are so good and so relatable. And so believable. I was hooked from the first episode and was never able to stop listening.

I hope a streaming service picks it up and makes a series!

First heard of this tale on The NoSleep Podcast. To SEE it & not be my imagination was EPIC.

Better than average, but falls short of good

The first season was promising, before the mystery of Borrasca is revealed. The child actors were very talented, and the format flipping between Cole present day and past was well done.

But honestly, season 2 falls off steeply for me. Cole's voice acting is at times very stilted, like the actor is talking through clenched teeth.

The incidental banter between Sam and Kimber is as annoying as, well, the name "Kimber."

And honestly, the mental gymnastics you have to go through to explain the conspiracy, from a logistical standpoint... It's just too much. Alien abduction would be easier to explain.

I'm not saying it's not worth listening to, but be prepared for season 2 to draaaag.
