Great episode. Excited to find out how the series is wrapped up in #5.

5 Stars Audio Drama Production & Cast, 3 Story = 4 Stars
Season 4 concludes 'We're Alive: A Story of Survival'. I kept my fingers crossed since season 3. I knew that if I wanted answers to my questions, they would appear in the last half of the series. Events kept piling up on top of each other in waves that grew stronger with each pass. It was a wild bronco ride that threw you for a spin and left you sprawled on your butt.
The build up was great. The answers? Eh. For a story that's already in left field, it seemed like the writers jumped to a different plane and waved jauntily from a completely different perspective. They're not bad. I thought some of them were a bit odd. I'll leave it at that.
The final battles were exciting and a mass of confusion. I'm not sure if the results were intentional but the story was not as coherent during this part. The one time I wished it was a visual production for that one bit than an audio drama.
The characters are what made this series interesting and kept me engaged to the very end. I wish some of the plot points were tied up better than they were, but they did try to tie up all the relevant parts and not leave the reader hanging.
You can listen to the whole story for free. There's a playlist of the whole podcast on Spotify and certain podcast apps. I sincerely enjoyed the story and hope there will be more audio dramas.

This was a very good ending to a mediocre series.

Emotional torture for me.

What a wonderful series. I feel bad in some ways, because I'm sure people will want to compare this to The Walking Dead, but that does it a disservice. This really is something different and if you like The Walking Dead, comics or tv show, then you should give this a chance.
This final chapter was an emotional roller coaster. During one of the chapter I was even shedding tears, which just doesn't happen very much with me, but I was moved. All the characters are great and fully realized. They all have unique personalities. You will grow to love some and be annoyed by others, but all are acted well.
I was also very satisfied with the ending. Zombie stories are tricky to get a good ending on and I think this nails it. Especially since I found out a while ago that Kirkman isn't ever going to tell us how randomly one day everyone who dies is just turning into zombies in his Walking Dead universe. I think that is a cop out and I felt very pleased with how that all played out in this story.
In short, this is great and worth a listen.

And with a single rifle shot it ended...
One of the very best podcast fiction stories I have ever listened to; awesome sound production (especially the guns), great vocal actors creating believable characters, fantastic storylines and best of all, it was free!!
Thanks for the ride K.C. Wayland and his team....

The book definitely overextended its welcome, a lot of characters stagnated for most of the book while a few plotlines were in focus. It was still a pleasant experience, but I definitely had to force myself to finish it out of a desire to see all plotlines resolved. The author knows how to finish a story though, the ending was satisfying, for the most part.

This series was sooo good. But I will say that it is very much alike The Walking Dead, so much so that some fans would be upset; however I can't be since this had a lot of twist and turns and the action was sooooo amazing! Can't wait until Lockdown comes out!

This was an Audio Drama, one of the very best I've listened to. Very good quality, good sound effects, great voice acting.
Some shocking events that had me gripping the armrest.
I really enjoyed it.
Great job guys!

FINALLY, characters die. Through previous seasons, characters seem to have an inhuman ability to survive everything...anything.

I know trying to find a different spin on the zombie tale is difficult. And I give credit to We're Alive for being set apart from the rest in their delivery or live action audiobooks. But the origin of the outbreak as well as the deeper dive into the tattooed man and his monsters really didn't sit well with me. I thought I could go with it as things started to emerge in the other seasons, but everything really came to a head in this season and it just didn't gel with me. So while I still love all the characters and their struggle to survive in this post apocolyptic world, I really did not like the whole deep dive into ancient symbols and alien(?) protection that this one guy just happened to figure out and thus caused extra havoc on the people of L.A. It was all way too far fetched. And a bit disappointing as a wrap up to this series.

Stopped at Chapter 38 Part 3 after a long break between my last listen. The argument between Saul and his pregnant girlfriend is what broke me. These characters worried about the wrong things and had arguments that had no meaning to anyone. I'm not sure how people could continue to be so clueless in a zombie apocalypse.

Starting couple of episodes were very emotional due to angel’s death reveal to all the mc. Later, it went dull a bit, for few episodes. But, didn’t expect them to kill-off Datu, Lizzy and Saul. I felt, I got lot info about Robert and his plans in last season. I wanted it to be slowly explored in other seasons.
But, I throughly enjoyed all seasons. Thrilled to hear next spin-offs and sequel.

Had to give all the seasons 5 stars. We're Alive is such a masterpiece. Amazing job to everyone who made this possible. I still have lots of questions but I bet K.C. Wayland has plenty more tricks up his sleeve. We will be patiently waiting for any upcoming projects from his team.

Nice ending to the story, I really enjoyed the audio series. The actors were top notch and I didn't feel it was over done in anyway. The story ended with us losing some friends and foes but also hope for the future of the group that we had!

I LOVE We’re Alive!!! This was one of the first podcasts and still remains one of the best. The sound, the story, the intensity - it’s all there. Fun and a good chunk of content to light up your commute

The stakes are as high as ever on season 4 and, when all is said and done, you feel a hole in your chest. It's been a hell of a ride.

WOW What an ENDING! HOLY COW. SO FULL of suspense and many questions answered and loose ties brought up. THIS is the best audio drama production out there. I highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND this ENTIRE SERIES. WOW. I'VE been on one hell of a ride. What a great story i love the characters the actors are great tue sound effects supeb the writing just wow. I hope they hurry up on thw spinoffs I'm having Saul withdrawals lol... this audio was so powerful I actually CRIED and also LAUGHED SMILED SCREAMED CHEERED GOT FRUSTRATED. etc. such a wide range of emotions coursed through me stemming from MY EARS and vivid imagination. Such an awesome story I'm finding myself in a what do i do NOW? All 4 books have consumed my life this week. I had ti KNOW what happened and listening all day everyday straight to find out. My headphones are now an extention of my own self from having had them in my ears constantly to listen in on Mike Saul Angel Lizzy Riley Pegs Tonya Hope Dahtu Puck etc lives. OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION. may have to relisten to the entire thing to get me fix of them. satisfying ending but did not want it to end.

Epic! Engrossing! Fantastic! A story that was worth the weekly wait as a podcast and even better now that it can be listened to in it's entirety.
The sound effects are awesome and spot on, the voice actors perfect for their roles, the relationships that form are what keep the listener coming back as addiction and anticipation set in with each episode. There are humorsous situations, dramatic situations. Happy moments and sad ones. At times I laughed and others I cried. I hated to see an end to the story after listening since it's beginning, but was also satisfied with the conclusion. It's one of those stories that I will go back to years from now and listen to again because I enjoyed it so very much the first time.
One of the best podcast dramas out there. K.C. Wayland is a writing Master! Let me know the next time you put something out there. I'm in!
