Popular Reviews of ars PARADOXICA

Started because of all the good recs, stopped listening after about eight episodes because I found it boring and couldn't really stand the main char.

Good plot, strong characters and voice acting. There was a lot of jumping about in some of the episodes, which made it difficult to follow.

The first season here is good. The problem is that Mischa Stanton has a tremendous ego and, as a showrunner, they are not very good at encouraging their writers to deliver top-notch material. So the show suffers big time over the subsequent seasons. It thinks that it's being mindful and cutting-edge, when it really just bores. Especially with the obnoxious Kristen DiMercurio, who has no range as an actor, in the lead. This is an audio drama as dead as the dodo. Look elsewhere.

I love Sally, but she really has a problem regarding keeping friends! She's so resourceful, but she constantly gets in to trouble, although she try's to avoid it. Fantastic production, awesome voice acting, and time travel is always exiting!

It’s a good show although I may have lost myself somewhere between the second and third seasons, trying to keep in mind all the characters’ names and functions. I like it though.

Pretty great. I enjoyed it.

i love it. gay rights.

I really liked this show, and I can tell that everyone involved has a special place in their heart for it as well

Don't think I finished this one. Just couldn't get into the story, didn't grab me.

Like a movie

Wonderful story, characters we care about, my most loved show.

A time travel story with people getting stranded in unpleasant places and the machinations of a secret government agency across time -- in both directions. Outstanding production and a complex story.

If the show eureka was a podcast set in the 1940s with a time traveler

For me, this show started very strong but I felt a loss of connection with the later phase of the story. Intelligently written and superbly acted, perhaps just not to my specific taste.

This story follows a modern-day scientist who accidentally discovers time travel and is stuck in the 1940s, leading to an alternate history in which the Cold War is an arms race to develop time travel. Time travel has thought out mechanics and long-lasting personal consequences, which several episodes explore the logistics and morality of, including government conspiracies and scientific experimentation. ars Paradoxica explores people searching for meaning, attempting to fix mistakes, and corruption of power. The characters, especially the main character (Sally) and a supporting character (Esther) are complex and well-acted, though I had trouble distinguising a couple of the male voices in season 1. I'm also not 100% sold on how the framing device comes together in the end, but that's a bit of a nitpick. The story has dramatic moments and stakes, as well as some levity and an overall bittersweet tone.

Brilliant writing. Excellent acting.

Audio perfection.

One of my favorite scripted drama podcasts! Time travel done really well.

Get your real science fix satisfied by an audio drama that gives you all the strangeness of X-Files with the drama of Fringe.

funny, smart, tightly-plotted; beautiful interlocking character arcs; love letter to audio; fantastic sound design, writing, voice acting! highly recommend, especially to anyone who thinks a lot about the 20th century
