Current,y trying to decide whether or not to pick this up now or wait for some future sale.... Just that it seems like a waste of time (regarding the ending) Well I’ve still got to listen to Episodes 2-4 but yeah I guess if you wanted to try it get the download first honestly I would need to listen to the other episodes before I give a firm review

Well finished the set and what a rebound. Altered Status is a fairly simple take on the Cybermen, but that’s where they tend to thrive and they do here. The angry Queen was a bit of a weird addition to the mix. Calamity Jenny was a return to the energy and tone of Series 1 and was just a fun ride. This spin-off’s bread and butter. Also the variation of the theme tune was very nice! Her Own Worst Enemy takes the COLT-5000 and throws a lot of depth at it. The “what is your value to society” concept is very sinister and well done here. McMullin previously did a theatrical play all about the concept (long story short on how I know this cos it’s a nice “small world” anecdote: I was a pupil at the school McMullin used to teach drama at; she left to do writing professionally during my time there and when I was in sixth form came back to the school for a one off performance of said play which my A-Level English class watched as we were doing dystopias; some years later I finally figured out the Lisa McMullin who had written Big Finish audios I’d already heard was the same writer) and it’s easy to see why. It is a terrifying concept and turns the COLT-5000 from a comedic monster to a victim of a monstrous system. Excellent stuff. {Spoiler} And there’s quite the cliffhanger! I sincerely hope a follow-up to that is planned as it’s a great WTF twist. So my misgivings about bits of the first episode aside, this was a good set all in all.

So, Finished it, not a bad story in the lot, and OMG I don't know how they're going to do a third box set but they have no choice after that ending! They really shot themselves in the foot, because Sean clearly isn't in the best standing with BF (hence his name being left off of the cover after explicitly being put on it). Still, they have to do a third series, and I will certainly buy it!

He hasn’t had people on Twitter whinging about him like what they did with Dreyfus besides given that he recorded an early adventure and had him listed on the cover of after the daleks Yeah I’ll buy Vol 3 of Jenny aswell

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire box set. Series 1 I genuinely believed to be the best Big Finish release that I listened to in 2018 and this release is up there with Master! And Dalek Universe 1 for me. What I liked so much was that it felt like a continuation of the first box set not just in story but in tone also. I think sometimes there can be a temptation to do something tonally different between different series of one range (for example Charlotte Pollard 1 & 2 I found almost jarringly dissimilar in energy) but each story in this set felt quintessentially ‘Jenny’, which is an achievement in itself for a character who had one television appearance thirteen years ago! I think the comedy is basically pitch perfect in every story, Georgia Tennant clearly has funny bones as witnessed in the Q&A released. And yet it isn’t a barrage of jokes thrown at you, it’s balanced expertly with some quite dark themes. It’s quite clear from the ending that a continuation of the range is planned in some form so I look forward to that whatever it may be. It can only be a matter of time before Jenny crosses paths with River Song, but personally I think she’d gel really well with the Paternoster Gang for a story.

For anybody that ordered the CD of this, has it shipped? It's by far the oldest release I've ordered that hasn't shipped yet.
EDIT nevermind from the "Today's Arrivals" thread most had this shipped back in November, I should've emailed BF long before this. I guess they can just forget to ship a pre-order.

I loved this box set. More Jenny please! Surely they have to do a Jenny 3 after that cliffhanger ending. Right?

Just finished the last story and was surprised to not see any solid information yet about series 3.
Noah really did a number on himself there in that final story. As the tagline said "But the web of time can't be pulled apart without a cost... "
