    What this is all lacking is context and breathing room. Maybe that'll come as the first season progresses and the opportunity to leave the podcast behind presents itself. So far, Limetown is a mood, sustained by its vague whiff of oddity and Biel's ability to be consistently watchable.

I have to say that I took off points because I knew how it was going to end and that the ending is super stupid and lazy. Other than that, all the actors did a fine job with what they had.
