End of the Loop

This show has gotten better and better as the story has unfolded. Actually surprising where it has headed, which is truly unique among the genre, even the really good ones. I have been consistently surprised in the best way. I hope that he can keep it up and that the story stays strong and finishes well. There have been so many audio fiction podcasts that were really impressive and entertaining and then for some reason they all seem to either just stop with no end at all, never to return, or flop the most disappointing, often nonsensical, ending onto an otherwise excellent show. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed. So far it feels like this will be the standout! Yay! 🤞➰🎬🙏🫣💯🤔

I make myself wait until there are at least a few new episodes out, so I can binge them. ‘Cause the show so good that a single episode isn’t enough!

I wanted to love this as the plot is quite compelling and fresh. While the concept is engaging, End of the Loop misses the mark when it comes to execution. Personally, it’s disappointing as time slips, loops and travel are one of my favorite tropes in fiction. The narrator’s incessant (and very obvious) questions begin to feel grating by ep 2. The same questions are asked, then repeated over and over again…”what does this mean?”, “what are they hiding?”, etc. Additionally, the narrator feels he must remind us every 5 mins or so, that he knows everyone’s next move and that he or they have “done this before”. Of course they have…it’s a flipping time loop! Unfortunately, this redundancy becomes not only annoying, but distracting. Ironically, I often felt as though I was in some sort of repetitive (and maddening) time loop throughout each episode - and I doubt that was the intended effect. Lots of promise, but sadly, comes up short on its delivery.

The stories good, but the constant repetitive loop about the loop every episode over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (let us know when it’s annoying) over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and…………..

Sweet Jesus, we understood in two minutes that you broke the time loop. The entire first episode should have been five minutes long at most.
