A truly gorgeous story that is unnerving and affecting in equal measure—in other words, pitch-perfect Doctor Who. Helluva debut from Riley Silverman. I would love to see more from her in the future!

147) Dark Watchers of California (Short Trips [Audio] 13.1)

Really beautiful story. I respect the hell out of any story that can make what looks like a simple conversation into extreme tension. I really hope Riley Silverman writes more for Big Finish because I love her style.

A+. Maybe S.
