Problem was, not much to it until the last episode which completely through me for a loop. Completely came out of nowhere. It does try to seem that way, doesn't it? That was my first impression of it also. I think the trick though is to sort of go with the "human interest" element in the third part. For me that's really what seems to make the third part distinctive from the second, and makes what happens in the last part seem much less abrupt and out of nowhere.

Thankfully I didn’t see reviews of this and so I formed my own opinion when I listened to it. I enjoyed it. More serious and weighty. And pictured some very sci fi imagery in my mind. Yes I tend to read reviews after I have listened then am more balanced some ranges I experimented with though and read some reviews even negative ines

Well Episode 3 really is kicking ass and notched up a gear or two and Charley is growing balls.It really needed this kind of momentum in the first two episodes.

Well EPISODE 4 JUST CHANGED EVERYTHING
This is complex stuff and i need a relisten to this but its very very good and thought provoking stuff and hats off to Mr Briggs this isn’t stupid stuff. This is good BF with some wonderful imagery and sound design and one excellent cliffhanger.... Am all on board for the third set after that...what the hell just happened lol

I would change the music theme still even when the cliffhanger ending ends i can just imagine the Blake’s seven final theme. Playing or the Doctor who one and an even greater impact would have been made

After a recent Krotons listen and Today’s Doomwood Curse relistens i think Charley works best with the Doctor and like the recent Lucie Millers i dont see why they just cannot revisit, if the stories are worthy of the characters. I don”t mind having new stories that slot into the past Charley Timelines.

I mean set one had two writers both of which were not him. I was surprised with the reprise of Charley and 8 that he had limited himself to one story 😂

After relistening to Charlotte 1 i gave series two another shot as i have strangely enjoyed it the other times. Yet again i enjoyed it is 1 better?I think its a definite different beast.This is the world without the Doctor which without the Doctors get of jail free cards India and James Joyce spend some time getting locked up ,no sonics 😂. There is a fair amount of mystery and the chemistry between the two leads is excellent they actually make a nice couple. The Viyrans in the last set really proved to be a threat with their mission and i wont spoil the potential of that threat if you hadn’t listened but its is indeed a threat worthy of Eight and Charley to solve/stop.The Viryans are Nicks baby aren’t they?For me they are more of a threat than say The Eminence and anyways i think they look cool😂 The problem i think with these sets is that there were was it 3/4 years between sets....its easy to forget stuff always necessitating a relisten before any potential rerelease.The casting is very strong and tbh i would have preferred these Characters to find their way into Unit ,hell i would have even accepted them Not That James Joyce is not already hahahah.
Is it Good in my opinion ,yes and in comparison has had more listens than Stranded and that in my book is saying something and the Ending made me WANT MORE...but hell am getting a Charley and Eight set before i am getting a new series
