Reviews

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maybe the best Dr. Who audio drama I've yet heard. Utterly brilliant.

[Derelict Space Sheep · Rating 5 out of 5]

A story that is challenging in its complexity (intriguingly rather than dishearteningly so) and mischievous in its characterisation, with artful twists and generally just a very clever execution. Fountain brings a creativity that Big Finish would do well to embrace more often.

[Rick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not one of the strongest episodes in the series, but still quite good. This is certainly one of those stories they would probably only work, or at least works best, as an audio-drama. So at least in that sense, it’s perfect. But it relies just a bit too heavily on the notion that the audience doesn’t see what is happening to progress the plot.

I thought this was a fun adventure with River Song.

[Gabriel Mero · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting story and a great start to a new season of River adventures.

[Charles Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Timey-wimey fun.

[Marcel Driel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. Fantastic concept and great execution. Acting was really good, it was full of dark humor and had a bittersweet ending. I’m loving the diaries so far!

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so dark and such a great concept. Cannot wait to see how this series develops further. What a brilliant story.

[Steven · Rating 3 out of 5]

Intriguing story of a world where people pay to choose their own manner of death but where not everything is what it seems.
