Review of Project: Twilight by RandomJoke

18 April 2025

Disclaimer: This Review features slight Spoilers for Jubilee, you have been warned!

 

I love Vampires, they are my favorite classical Monsters, there is so much you can do with them. I'd argue even with some of their lesser stellar Outing in the Past, be it in Novels or Films, there is still at least something to grab on it.

'Project Twilight' still has Elements I like, Ideas which are intriguing and yet.. what did I listen to?

I am somebody who argues Doctor Who can and at times *should*, if it's allowed to explore some darker themes, which you couldn't do on the TV Show and yes this Story does explore some mature Topics. But I sadly cannot emphasize on it, exploring it well.

Its graphic Imagery feels 'edgy' at times, almost trying to shock you and making you go: "Oh this is Doctor Who?" and it just doesn't work. It feels like it does all of it for the sake of it.

Let's look at a later, more grim 6 Story! 'Jubilee' has some dark Imagery as well, but with this one, despite it being at times more violent. I mean, 6 loses his legs, it never feels like Shearman does it because he can, he uses his Imagery to emphasize how this version of 6 feels lost. Can you tell me when and if this Story does that? No? We are just basically torturing a poor Woman?

It feels unnecessary cruel. Now, do I think a cruel Story can work? Oh, Absolutely!! But Cavan just writes a very cruel Story, which I argue (at least for me) lacks some Depth or the Reason to be that.

And yet I do like some of its Concept presented here, the Forge seems interesting for example. All of our Actors do a good Job at it and if it wasn't for them and giving in a solid Performances, I think I would dislike this Audio much more.

Again I mentioned it somewhere before, but I hate to be negative, but I can't hide my Disappointment, I love me a good Vampire Tale, but this just puts me off.
