Reviews

[Victor Rodriguez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Digno y emotivo final para esta segunda temporada de Classic Audio Adventures. La tripulación del Liberator encuentra a Dayna criogenizada (muy hábil, así no "habla" en todo el capítulo) y con ella un antiguo complejo científico, a su madre y toda una enrevesada trama de traiciones y dobles juegos con la Federación que recogen perfectamente el espíritu sombrío y liante de la serie original de TV. Aunque en su totalidad no es tan buena como la primera, es una gran temporada.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 / 5)
Morality, Manipulation, and the Cost of Survival

In the Blake’s 7 universe, truth is never simple—and honesty can be just another weapon.

Truth and Lies embraces that moral complexity fully.

If you like character-driven audio dramas with ethical tension and sharp dialogue, this is a strong entry. The audio format works beautifully here: performances are strong, pacing is tight, and the emotional stakes feel real even without visual spectacle.

The story leans into the series’ signature moral ambiguity, forcing characters to weigh survival against principle. It’s dark, thoughtful, and engaging in the way only Blake’s 7 can be.

Even if you’re not deeply familiar with the series, the plot remains accessible and compelling.

One I’m glad I picked up—and would happily recommend.

Enjoying the full cast Blake's 7 audios - it's like being back watching the TV series. Grant makes a good addition to the crew.
