I am so glad I found this one! I was so intrigued with the storyline that I was drawn in and kept wanting more. The characters are well developed and draw you into their stories so easily. I can only hope that there will be a season 3!!! 💯 You guys can’t leave us hanging like this 😱
I listened to both seasons and the production and acting were good but I had so much trouble telling the voices apart, especially the female characters. There was a minor role in one ep who was supposed to have been a kid in the 70s i.e. significantly older than everyone else in the scene but she just sounded like a weirdly old-fashioned young person. If they hadn’t over-used names all the time I also would have been confused between Jeremy and Thomas. The story was ok, but I think the script could have been tightened up and god forbid more diverse voices used. I know people found Vipin annoying but at least I knew who he was!
I really like this show but that professor assistant, Vipin, is sooooooo annoying. I don’t know if it’s the voice of the actor or how he acts, in general but it makes the show so cringy to me. I’m always hooked until he starts talking. His acting is so cringe!!
Enjoyed the story, the characters! Great, easy listen. I binged it in 2 days. Hands down one of the BEST fiction podcasts out there. I wish there were more seasons!!!
Sucked me in from the start. Amazing actors and story line. The sound effects are mesmerizing. You can picture the entire setting in your mind. Magical!
I wanted to enjoy this, I always loved Lore… but why for God’s sake do you have to make your political leanings part of the story ??? Never have this been a problem til 2016. The story really is mediocre, add in the politics and this podcast has lost a listener.
I’m always skeptical of dramatized fictional podcasts, as the voice acting and narration can take me out of the story really easily. But Misha Collins and Melissa Ponzio are FANTASTIC in this, to the point where it sounds like I’m listening to an actual TV show. The way that they are able to switch scenes without narration and over announcing the new location is seamless. The story has me wanting to listen more and the sound effects are immersing. Loving Bridgewater so far!
I love this serial drama that harkens back to the radio dramas of the olden days. I hope a season 3 happens as this story is too good to end at 2 seasons. The writing earns 5 stars and the actors deserve all the accolades. Listen with headphones for the best experience, but watch out for the addictive qualities of this story.
Aww I loved it and so cool to hear Mischa as a voice actor! And Vipin is such a great character. My favorite. Too bad iheartradio cancelled such a great show. Without ending the story. Kinda makes me want to avoid everything by iheartradio the don’t seem to care about the listeners or the artists making the content
The story was amazing && I couldn’t put it down, just had to find out what was going on through out the story. Truly hope the writer will continue stories as amazing & grabbing as this one.
Kind of sad Nathan fillion isn’t still part of this. But this series is awesome overall
I really hope you record a third season.
Last season was so very good.
Nearly do e with season two and really enjoying the twists and turns and the immersive audio. However, the ads ruin any sort of mood that gets set up. There are a couple that begin with pitchmen literally shouting. Thats a real disruption, especially when coming out of a quiet or intense scene. Otherwise, another great podcast from Grim and Mild!
Seriously please pay no mind to the airheads who think politics should be left out of YOUR art (I mean really!! The unmitigated gall it must take to tell someone what to do with their own creation is just out of this world). Politics can be found in most, if not all, of our facets of life. Some of us don't have the privilege of picking when politics will show up in our everyday affairs. Asking a creator to stay quiet on topics that matter for the sake of your extended stay in the ignorant bliss hotel is very obtuse and self-serving. If you prefer a podcast far removed from the politics of today try listening to history, ASMR, cooking, or living under a rock but even then no promises. After all, art imitates Life
I don’t know how I got this far in my podcast life and hadn’t discovered this gem! It plays so beautifully, I can “see” the characters as they tell their story. Love the story, the voices and please please tell me there will be a season 3!
This show has so much potential. Some of us are trying to have a momentary reprieve from the political opinions of everyone. Please eliminate the totally unnecessary political comments, the show would be so much better. Aaron Mahnke is so gifted at what he does, but all of his work that I’ve heard is riddled with passive aggressive political opinions. We get it, you don’t like Trump. Move on.
The production of this podcast is top notch. I have not been this transfixed to a show like this in a long time. The voice acting is so very well done and combined with the 3D audio I sometimes forget I’m listening to a podcast and not a movie. The story twists and turns and continues to surprise me. Love it!
With the writers strike and now SAG-AFTRA, I’m a little concerned there may not be a season 3 for a while but please, at least tell us there are plans for one!!!
The random, unnecessary political comments are a buzzkill in this show. I wish I knew they were going to include them, I wouldn’t have watched this far.
Bridgewater is certainly great fun no matter how you slice it, but also I’m not gonna dress it up. While the concept behind it is brilliant, the writing as a whole is…not very good, and sometimes it’s outright terrible. Forced exposition dumps, unbelievable dialogue, and plenty of key story beats that needed to be drafted two or three more times. Usually I get so irritated by this sort of thing that that it will make me rage quit. But what keeps me coming back to Bridgewater is Misha Collins’ acting. He breathes so much life into the character of Jeremy with his performance that, at least as far as Jeremy is concerned, he kinda redeems even the worst lines of dialogue because he can still sell it. I can believe him and his emotions even when the writing is unbelievable. So first of all, that’s really impressive that Misha can still act so well even with a mediocre/bad script. Secondly, he’s carrying the show. I am still invested solely because of him. Love you Misha. I hope you forgive me for being a bit critical of the show.
I’d been looking for another podcast after tennis and rabbits., Limetown and others in that vein. Bridgewater was on a recommendation list I found. This was a great podcast. The writing was interesting, adventurous, and kept my adrenaline level up there. The voice actors were fabulous. I liked the smooth blending of supernatural, mystery, crime and the interplay of relationships. Definitely recommend.
I’ve tried to like storytelling podcasts in the past. Not until finding Aaron Mahnke did I actually fall in love with one. Bridgewater is the best thing you will ever hear. Mysterious, fantastical, suspenseful, heartbreaking in the most beautiful way. You will love the characters, you’ll yell at them to make better choices, you’ll cry with them when they fall apart, you’ll binge listen to every episode.
I drive for Lyft sometimes and EVERY passenger I had while listening to this podcast was so engaged they barely wanted to get out of my car lol. I really enjoyed this. Hope there’s a new season coming soon.
I absolutely loved this podcast. I listened to it while I was at work. I work for a judge, it was so amazing. I feel like I know everyone- I hope you find a way to continue and have more seasons.
Jeremy is a thoroughly irritating and one note character (at least through episode 6 when I stopped listening). We get it, he’s a skeptic even though he studies local folklore.
Characters do things that people would not do in the real world-like having a loud and lengthy argument in a forest while searching for a missing person.
The sound design is good. The performances are uneven.
I have enjoyed the character development, the story line and the writing technique. There is no narrator pulling you outside of the storyline - the characters do the necessary narrating making the story flow. Thank you for a great tale!
I loved everything about this audio-book/podcast. The voice actors were incredible and the plot twists had me listening to it up to the point where j should have been going to sleep. I loved every second.
