    Great Character Development
    I really enjoyed this series and hope that season 2 is really happening! I appreciated the detail put into the character development both individually as well as their inter personal relationships. Definitely recommend!

    Off-beat, funny and intriguing psychology based mystery
    Season 1 of The Imperfection sets up a larger mystery than the characters imagined, as the question of “Where is Dr Stadler?” leads to more questions about who they are and what their place in the world is. It’s a riveting show, and passes quickly because of the protagonists Charlie and Amber’s quick wit and funny takes on their own mental illness, which involves hallucinations… or does it? Season 1 is relatively short, and doesn’t have many ads except at the beginning of episodes. I’m hopeful about a season 2, given how this show has won acclaim, but in any event it’s a fun, off beat, and sometimes heartfelt show in itself… plus spiders!

    Absolutely Amazing!
    The initial story is fascinating and then turns into something truly epic. I loved the lighthearted sometimes funny moments the characters provide to what could have easily been a really serious story. The acting is perfect and the sound design - so well done! This is a must listen and I can’t wait until season 2!

    This show brings together script, acting, and great, moderately priced, casual seafood dining in a tightly spun web of adventure, romance, and ontological untethering.

    Astounding
    What a revelatory show! The writing takes advantages of all the limits and possibilities of an audio-based drama, and the cast is exceptional. One of the best shows I’ve heard.

  • OPJelloQueen
    Great from start to finish!
    I’m not suprised this podcast won an award. It is SO well acted, written, and edited. If you’re in the mood for a more dramatic Sci-Fi podcast, I would give this a shot.
  • Klucille
    For sure my favorite scripted

  • Professor Podcast Lover
    Great show
    Had me hooked from the first episode. Great plot and performances. Quirky, funny, and intriguing.
  • mom2ELM2
    Phenomenal podcast!
    I'm an avid audiobook/drama lover and seem to find myself completely out of material to consume. I've long ago burned through the well known shows and listened to the best ones multiple times, and haven't seen any new titles listed on reddit recommendations. Now the only way I know of to find stuff to listen to is to cross my fingers and blindly sift through the thousands of possible shows and hope to come across a couple hidden gems. This practice can be so disappointing, when the majority of these shows' descriptions sound so promising, but turn out to be total let downs. This show definitely qualifies as a hidden gem. It is funny, well acted, expertly produced and addictively entertaining. I think the first season might be over, but there are already 9 awesome episodes to whet your appetite. I really, really, really how they're planning on coming back with tons more episodes.

    Love this podcast!
    Funny and thrilling! This podcast takes the deep dive and asks the burning question “who’s paying for the fish”??!!! The writing is benchmark. Excellent podcast.
  • m.arctic

    Amazing
    This is such a fun, surrealistic adventure! The characters are lovable and the story is spooky with just enough comedy and levity; it’s storytelling at its finest. The music and production are top notch too! It’s a little treat each week. Well done all around! Arena for life!

    Funny
    I was so engrossed I missed my exit on the highway!
  • Danger2429
    Voice actors, sound effects, compelling story
    This isn’t a podcast, it’s an audio movie or radio theater. This is a welcome break from so many of the same podcast formats: loose interviews, overproduced magazine style stories, etc. Complete with sound effects and a full cast, the story stats with a focus on a protagonist and others in therapy for hallucinations. Are they real or imagined? As a listener, you can’t be sure…
  • Sally Mosgrove
    Unique, intriguing
    This story is engaging from the very beginning. A unique approach with a mystery that keeps you guessing. Love it!
  • audiofictionlover
