Review of The Fearmonger by RandomJoke

This review contains spoilers!

It's been a while since I listen to this one, but yeah many already said it: It's politic commentary, which is really well written and well you can't go wrong with the Tardis Team of 7 and Ace. I have to admit, while I still need to listen to the 3rd and 4th Play, I can't see them beat this out of the first 5. This just might be the first great Big Finish Play so far, at least. Its Story is really well written and played wonderful by our leads, and it gives you (at least me) an eerie feeling with its really nice sound design. While the idea of an alien feeding off fear is already a bit overdone (even at that time) this still works fairly good and is such a stellar first outing for solo 7 outing in the MR. (Seriously, they got it sooo right at their first go??) Admittedly, while I praised the sound design, not everything is perfect, it still has some issues that plagued previous and even some later releases. Still I enjoyed this one, it does really feel like a story that could have come out if the classic series continued onwards in the 90s
