The Secret of St Kilda is a master class in how cults work -- because it puts the listener through the experience. Even if you go in thinking you know what it's gonna be about, it lulls you into a false sense of security -- pancakes, sweet shopkeepers, lovely tightknit community, and all -- until the danger becomes suddenly, sharply, apparent. It's beautifully sound designed and acted. I love a story set in Scotland, and if I had one critique, it's actually that I wish it would lean into the Scottishness MORE! Excited for season 2 <3
