Gripping

I was left wanting more . A very good story that ended in a way that left me thinking of lots of different scenarios. I can't wait for a follow-up, it would be good to see this story on screen

What a fantastic, truly immersive experience...

Ha. That... That was... That was freaking awesome. Daisy Ridley is a gift to this world. Saying that, I found myself absolutely in love with all the characters, the way they were voiced over. The respective performance blew me away.
What a gripping, exiting experience... Ill be listening to this again.

Left me on the edge of my seat

I was impressed by this podcast. Split into 10 episodes, it was fascinating and gripping to learn more about the mystery that unravelled throughout. The podcast was made even better by the sound effects which really immersed you into the world. As someone who lives in Singapore, I thoroughly enjoyed the effort put into Zoetrope. I appreciated the use of everyday such as inclusion of languages such as Mandarin, Cantonese and Malay. The announcements on the train and features of local areas were surprising to me and made it even more realistic.

The cast was phenomenal and the story was unlike anything I'd ever listened too. I only wish that it would be turned into book-form as I would love to have a physical copy of it. Daisy Ridley and the rest of the cast did an incredible job of narration and immersing listeners into this murder-mystery. I loved the side plots and plot twists which made it all the more exciting.

Wicked

I didn't know what to expect but it kept me locked in all the way to the end. A brilliant production that's really wet my appetite for more.
Thank you

Very enjoyable programme

Enjoyed the sound design and acting, Daisy gives a very good performance as do the rest of the cast. The story is very entertaining but I think it may have dipped a little here and there and the ending left me wondering what would happen following on, as I felt it tied up enough but yet left a few things unresolved. That said, would recommend and definitely worth the investment. Hope to see further releases in future.

Twisty modern thriller

Great contemporary sound design, terrific voice acting and intriguing, non-linear narrative. Episodes in bite sized chunks keep the pace quick and engaging.

Quality

A good story, although with a quite predictable ending. Very well performed by the whole cast, especially the lead, played by Daisy Ridley.

Had to listen in one day! Couldn’t stop!

First and foremost, don’t listen to leftover SW haters trying to deter you from this. Daisy gives a masterful and complicated performance, as well as the rest of the cast. This was an exciting thriller that takes some dark turns and kept me entertained from start to finish. I loved it and would love if this audio received a second story. This brought me to audible. Thanks to all involved and thank you Daisy!
