My word, have focused POVs gone out of fashion? This is all over the place.

I think I’ve put my finger on what’s bothering me about Dark Heights, why the pacing feels so off: I’m used to a single episode of Serial Box being longer and consequently covering more ground. It’s making it feel slow, but the episodes are maybe 60% as long as I expect so really I’ve just listened to less - so of course it hasn’t got very far. If I think of myself as only 4-5 eps in, it feels way better

I’ve got mixed feelings about this. It’s intriguing and eerie, and I like Tess, but it still hasn’t sucked me in. So far it’s all noises off and shadows on the wall, hints of world building but the plot remains obscure.
