The Family Experiment by John Marrs
4.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

That was tense. I had a sense of foreboding throughout. It was giving me The Running Man vibes. The toxicity and dangers of social media/ reality TV, plus the considerations around AI, felt so relevant and scary. 

The large cast of characters was initially hard for me to keep track of, but I soon got to grips with it. The narrators on the whole were great and helped with this, there was just one narrator I didn't get on with. The sound effects and adverts etc. were very well done, and really added to the audio experience. 

Overall just a great and gripping story.
