happened to Clara?

Sad Terry/Nic and the radio alliance gave up on this podcast. What happened to Alex? She gave up to? I loved this show. It was just getting good too. Strand showed Alex a closet with shelves upon shelves of black tapes. Nic bailed to make Tannis than rabbits which are great shows as is but those have also been abandoned it seems. We need more. I guess the well of creativity dried up for the radio alliance and PNWS. It’s a bummer

Such a good concept, but left hanging at the end!

This is one of the smartest, most gripping, and entertaining podcasts I’ve EVER listened to. I do agree with a lot of these reviews that I want MORE from the ending, but the ride is amazing! If the creators are reading this, PLEASE write another season to give us that closure we want, pllllllease!

No spoilers! I know the ending gets a lot of hate but I think it’s pretty implied what happened…I loved it.

If it had a proper ending. This is a case of the journey being more exciting than the destination. The finale was a massive cop out, with more questions being asked and none answered. Lots of suspense and plot all for nothing.

A must listen! I’ve relistened to this twice. I need a proper ending!!!!

This is a can't miss essential podcast that will change your life!!! Can we get one more season please!!!

We need a proper ending!!! I’ve listened to this over and over again. We just want to know what happens

I relisten to this one a lot. I love the format of it and the acting and writing are excellent. My only complaint is that there isn’t more! And now that streaming services are starting to adapt podcasts to shows, this one definitely needs that.

I couldn’t get past the bad voice acting. And young actors with young voices and young cadences pretending to be middle aged.

The host tricks you into listening to a sound that is supposedly going to invite demons into your life in the third episode. She says skip forward 10 seconds if you don’t want to listen to it. I skip forward 30 seconds and the sound is playing. Maybe that’s funny to the host and her team but it’s not funny to me. I will not be listening to another episode. Wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re into inviting demonic forces into the world. Good luck with that. No thanks

All of the people sound like they are reading from a script. They are too well spoken. I’m on 108 and I think I might be done.

Absolutely incredible and genuinely scary to listen to alone. Loved it and such great pacing, never lost my interest. Sudden ending without anything being wrapped up killed me thoigh!

This is the 3rd show I’ve seen by these people that are absolute MASTERPIECES at the start but then abruptly ends in a way that doesn’t even try to make sense. Is it that you guys can’t secure funding throughout so you’re forced into wrapping up?? That would make sense if there was some effort but it’s almost comical how bad these endings get. I honestly don’t want to watch anything else from them just bc I refuse to get wrapped up in another amazing story just to be let down this hard again

I have been listening for about 3-4 years and it is the best show in the world

Everything this production team does is incredible I really hope they put out a new show soon

Sorta good Didn’t really understand it but good try!

I listened to this show over two years ago and sometimes when I think about it, I can’t fall asleep. Story is 🤌 and you will get chills. Often.

A beautiful and amazing slow burn mystery. I wish I could write something as brilliant as this!

A great mastery

The realism approach and the writing make this really fun. The acting is not bad - sounds like a radio show which is what it’s emulating, pulls off the genre well.

I came upon this podcast a week ago. One week ago. And I’ve listened to the entire thing. I am so hooked into Alex and Richard's story! I love the thrill and the mix of science and supernatural. I NEED this story to continue, and I really hope it returns sooner rather than later!

The poor acting detracts from the fun, interesting and decently written stories

Great murder-mystery supernatural show and very Canadian 👌 I recommend 👊

At this point in the podcast, I’m pretty much lost and I’ve lost interest. I’m listening to the Worlds Collide episode and trying to make it through it until I’m interested again.

I started listening at the beginning and it just ended when they were going to the airport?? Is that it??

By far this is my favorite podcast. The story is creepy and intriguing and binge worthy. Yet… the ending, if you can even call it an ending was lacking. Please continue with another season!

So good 😢 Please come back 🥲

I’m enjoying the stories but the acting can be pretty bad. Sometimes that’s tough to get past but since it’s fiction I guess it’s not always gonna be totally believable. Overall great horror podcast and very creepy

When will we finally be getting a new season of the black tapes???

I really enjoyed this story and where it was heading. Great writing, super creepy, well executed, but the ending was garbage. They took us all the way there and started to tie up the loose ends and then ditched out on the ending. It wasn’t even a cliff hanger, it just ended. It was as if someone took a complete novel, tore the book in half, and threw the last half of it away. They owe it to this story to actually conclude it, not just ditch it.

The story is super interesting but I can’t get passed the bad acting so it reminds me over and over that it’s not actually happening. Their tone and responses aren’t what it would be in the moment if it was actually happening. Comes off very rehearsed.

I need to know what happens! Ya’ll made a teaser for a new season and I’m chomping at the bit to listen.

I’m honestly so impressed by the storytelling here. I’m glad I’m listening to it later, the cliff hangers would get me otherwise!

This was one of my first podcasts when I started my podcast game and I couldn’t stop listening. Every episode was so captivating and I’m really disappointed there aren’t any new seasons. I’ve re-listened the podcast because it was that good!

This show had me hooked. The story telling makes you get so immersed into what’s going on you start to forget it’s “TV for your ears”. Yes, I’m listening to Tannis now that this is finished. Great job!

This podcast was absolutely enthralling. Instead of reading, which is my typical go-to hobby, I spent my free time listening to this, and finished it all in 3.5 days. Up until Season 3 Episode 6, this was the perfect blend of intrigue, science, math, suspense, all in a well executed podcast. And then the last episode happened, leaving a door so wide open, with so many questions unanswered, that the creators could come back literally anytime. But no, we’re left with silence, an Easter egg hyping a return, then nothing. Absolutely atrocious way to end

Please start to make episodes again!! This is an amazing podcast, we need more like it!!!!

This was my first taste in podcasts that weren’t nonsensical. And I became a fan. Shout out to rabbits, and Tannis, and the last movie! All awesome! But my heart will always be with the black tapes!!!

Very engaging story. Sorry for when I get to the end. I am hooked and hope there is more coming soon.

So when my mom introduced me to this show I fell in love with it I really wonder how they wrote it so good but I was disappointed when they stopped making episodes so I took a star away ):

This is my all time favorite. Fell in love with the characters and the story. I’ve listened to it over and over so many times and still can’t get enough! Please please release some new material!!!!

This podcast really catches you. It is creepy and scary. I discovered it well into the first season so I have listened to the episodes back to back which is a great way to go. I have been looking for something like this for a long time! Addendum: I am so disappointed with the ending to this podcast. I have been reading other reviews and I have to agree that you just get the feeling that the writers had no idea how to end the story. There were so many loose ends. The journey was creepy and spooky but I am so disappointed with the end I am changing my rating fro 5 stars to 2. I am hesitant to get involved with this company again.

For years I’ve been checking for a new episode. I know it’s foolish, but I miss this podcast.

I just recently started listening to anything other than true crime or documentary type podcasts but this is fantastic. I have to keep reminding myself it’s fiction! I’m just on season 1 but am loving it.

I really liked this podcast in the beginning. So much so that I was listening every morning. What I dislike is the last episode, and the endless questions that remain after. Each episode before that had some method. The last one was just disappointing overall. I won’t give it 1 star, but a solid 3 works. If you like shows that can be tied up with a nice bow, don’t listen to this one. You’ll regret it.

Some of the earlier episodes and concepts are enjoyable (I still remember a couple of the horrors, like the tall shadow man and the upside down face). The first season and part of the second are good-decent, but it's clear the writers did not plan and had no idea where the story was going. Plot points keep getting added on without resolving the mystery, and the ending is one of those few endings that, for me, retroactively make some of the rest of the show worse. The ending is a cliffhanger; much of the mystery is unresolved, and not in a satisfying manner. Acting ranges from meh to decent, especially for a professional production - sometimes you can tell they're reading from a script. Conflicts become repetitious, and the characters hardly develop (well, they do end up in a relationship. That's kinda like character development, right?). The ads are in the middle of the episodes, which is annoying, and the ads can get cringey.

This show still holds up! I started re-listening and it’s been five years since I first listened. The multi-layered plot lines and well-developed fictional characters and organizations, when combined with the audio format, truly lend themselves to a high degree of suspension of disbelief. The voice acting is shaky at times however, the Alex Reagan character is the spine of the show and she doesn’t miss a beat. Bravo to Terry Miles for this incredible piece of avant-garde art - television for your ears, to be sure!

Was totally hooked on this show, would have given it 5 stars, but the so-called ending was insanely disappointing. The spin all these threads and left almost nothing tied up at the end. For the level of production value it had overall, this “ending” just felt like a cop out.
