We're Alive: A Story of Survival

I adore this series. I can't get enough of it. The storyline always has an unexpected twist. I mean some things you can totally piece together and you wonder why they don't piece it together faster, but overall this series has everything you could want out of a great audio drama. I downloaded the app on my iphone and listened to it while I was at work. I couldn't put it down. I would even listen to it while driving home in the evenings and I just felt like it was extremely captivating. You really get attached to some of the characters, but it's hard to at the same time because you never know what is going to happen next or who could be killed.

GREAT SERIES!

Rich, compelling story line, engaging voices, and best-in-class soundtrack.

Seasons only get better as you progress.

Yeah I know there are a ton of zombie stuff out there, but this is a very well produced and written audio drama. By far one of the best I have had the pleasure to listen to and participate with other listeners. There's mystery there's suspense and of course there is the "zombies". To find out why I put that in quotations you'll just have to listen. While you are listening check out their interactive forum! This audio drama is about to start on their 3rd season so there is plenty with the first two seasons to catch up on. Don't worry each episode/part is roughly 15-22 minutes long. Just long enough to suck you in and keep you hooked but short enough to listen on your drive in to work or whatever you do after.

Before I'd like to start my review, I would just like to point out that this is my first review ever on IMDb, in the 4 years I have been viewing this site. I feel like this should be my one occasion where I write a review; for the benefit of this show.

Over a year ago, I was listening to a podcast called LEOG, which can be found on spill.com. For the past several months prior to this episode of the LEOG, the crew had been raving about We're Alive for quite some time. I was intrigued, as on this specific episode I had to finally cave in and listen.

So I downloaded the first episode. It was a slow start, yet this is not a flaw at all. The show had me hooked straight from the beginning. From there on in, I downloaded the entire show (up until the current episode) and listened to them all as I went on a camp. I've also been listening to each episode as they've been released all year.

The show benefits from a very strong vocal cast. Each actor is not only distinguishable, yet extremely likable. Every word that is spoken throughout the show is never out of place. As well as this, the sound effects add a beautiful subtle effect on the show, as well as chills during those haunting moments. Props to the sound editors, if only I could shake your hand.

Without going into details on the story, the journey in which these characters go through is incredible. I've never cried during anything in my life a part from the Six Feet Under finale, but never had I felt so sad during "The Hive" episode. Make no mistake, We're Alive is full of raw, human emotion.

Before I begin repeating myself, for there is not much to say here without using a thesaurus, I would just like to say that this show is one of the best things I have invested my time in. This is the first review on this site for We're Alive, so I decided to just rush this review for the sake of the show. You don't have to love zombies to love We're Alive. Must listen.

If we were still in the Golden Age of radio, this would be a must listen every week.
