Summary
Idris Elba and Sabrina Elba present sci-fi mystery thriller Halfway, an Audible Original.
Starring Patricia Allison as Florence, Lenny Henry as Cole, Arinzé Kene as Mark, and George Mackay as Oliver.
Leading the field of artificial intelligence, Halfway, a subsidiary of Soul-Tech, provides customers with the opportunity to digitally upload their minds so that in the eventuality of their death, loved ones will be able to communicate with an AI simulation and gain closure. But at what cost?
A year after her brother Mark’s death, Florence is still consumed by grief. And though her parents encourage her not to dwell on the past, Florence decides to visit Halfway and speak to the simulation of Mark that was created not long before his passing. But instead of putting her mind at ease, speaking with the replica of her brother only unleashes destabilising questions and opens old wounds. Why are Mark’s uploaded memories different from Florence’s? Why are the circumstances surrounding Mark’s death becoming less clear? And what does Halfway have to hide?
Also starring Chizzy Akudolu as Delores, Jeremy Ang Jones as James, Jude Akuwudike as Omar, Sharon D Clarke as Afua, Aurora Dawson-Hunte as Shanice, Kevin N Golding as Jackson, Penny Layden as Anne, Hattie Morahan as Karen, Nneka Okoye as Megan and Grace Saif as Amissha.

Brilliant performance, ok story
Really enjoyed the performance by the actors and actresses in this, just felt the back half of the story was abit rushed and ending was not finished properly.
I guess this has been done to enable a sequel but I feel the title would have benefited from being abit longer to bolster the back half of story properly

Not sure how this ended - quite confusing
Started really well and then left a unclear conclusion - a little disappointing. Promising but left me a little confused

Wow great story
There is enough going on to keep you gripped and I really do hope there is a part two. This story is very thought provoking and is not too far fetched that it could become a reality in the future.

Engaging
Got my interest from start. 100% engaged from start to finish. The sound production added that extra dimension.

Good storyline
The constant eating, kissing and breathing sounds throughout the story is annoying. Maybe it’s because it’s a performance rather than an actual story. Other than this it was a good storyline.

Exciting edge of the seat
What a brilliant (and truly frightening) concept, everything about it gets 100 (if I could). Kept me hooked with both storyline and performances. All the actors were fantastic. More like this.
My only negative point is that it inevitably had to end.
