    Season 2? We need a season 2!
    Unique and I like the actors. The way the actress playing Nancy plays her role, changing from her thoughts to what is happening is very well done.
  • bagnew92

    Can be a bit dramatic for no reason but it’s an alright story line

    This was a perfect psychological thriller and great murder thriller. Nice to see character development as the show went on. When is second season coming out!??
  • Jasmine Becker
    Where have you goneeee
    Literally my first ever podcast story I liked and I haven’t seen any sign of a reboot ))):
  • Louisa Lorenzo
    2nd season?

    10/10
    Amazing! Loved this podcast and with that cliffhanger I definitely need a second season, but per usual they will forgot all about this amazing podcast and leave everyone disappointed again! While I love this show there probably not gonna make a second season, so don’t leave it on a cliffhanger!
  • AllTheGoodNicknamesAre Taken
    The Vampire Next Door
    The evolvement of her relationship with the vampire next door results in an introverted and overlooked techie becoming a Renfield extraordinaire as she discovers a real knack for cleaning up after a neighbor who doesn’t quite understand the repercussions of a life lived on-line. An original take on what happens when an ancient being relocates in the digital age. Highly recommended.
  • Would like tiger pictures
    Anxious for next season!
    Enjoyed it a lot even though it’s cheesy at times and almost cartoony in how the characters are. Doubt they’ll make a second season as QCode rarely finishes a story.
  • Tara nejaati
    Podcast
    Nice podcast Thanks to you guys
  • Edonav
    Creepy and delightful
    Love this- fast paced, character driven with awesome plot…I need the 2nd season like yesterday! Fans of true crime who are maybe a little toooo into it will enjoy this audio drama!

    Not the best, but what really is?
    Lots of reviews criticizing the main character, and yeah, she’s a little much. But haven’t we all met a Nancy before? Why does everything have to happen to “interesting” or “cool” or “ normal” “likable” people? That’s the whole point of her character, and that’s what kept me going. How is she going to go off the deep end? Because that’s what you know she’s going to do. How is she going to royally mess stuff up? Because you know she will. And it’s made interesting because there’s huge stakes - murder and vampires - and how often does a character like Nancy get involved in that kind of thing? There’s certainly things I would have written differently, but it’s not my story and I have to say I respect it for what it is.
  • phukapplesheit
    Protagonist just too stupid
    It has potential, but Nancy is just too stupid to listen to. The whole thing would be better if she would just shut up and pay attention. Failing that, she should have been whacked in the first episode. Unbearable.
  • You_Wish
    I love this
    Amazing. After listening to the first episode I was like this is not for me way to scary, but it had me hooked. I kept listening and fell in love! I recommend this podcast to anyone and everyone.
  • isagonzo92
    Nancy.
    Is so deplorable! Jesus! If the intention was to create a character we would all hate- this show did an amazing job ! Definitely hard to put down.
  • Sir Carl of Bob!
    Shallow
    Shallow two dimensional writing. It’s a series of geek and jock cliches duct taped together with hot topic goth vampire boobies. The characters are 100% predictable played out and completely un inspired. It’s like the teen angst of a budding school shooters journal was fleshed out into a buddy fantasy with an equally shallow vampire hotty. You have seen every single character before and most of them done better. It so very wants to be Buffy but completely lacks the self awareness and campyness that made it a b rated masterpiece. It takes itself far to seriously which is hilarious given the plot devices would be predictable even by new Star Trek standards. The main character is just god awful. I can’t empathize in the slightest because she is genuinely a terrible person. It’s just a collection of douche bags any sane human would have zero investment in and frankly would prefer if the totality of the cast met some hideous demise sooner than later.
  • Hi im a idoit
    wow this is,
    incredible. (SPOILERS-AHEAD) nancy starts out as an annoying character with not a lot of personality but as the story goes on, she turns into this horrific sociopath character with much more development than I thought. and the fact that Elle realizes she’s created a monster is great. if 6 out of 5 was an option to rate this that’s what it would be. this is a must listen
  • Lisa cushman
    Love it
    I am just finishing the first episode, and I am hooked. I love the main character, and I am fascinated by the relationship between the two women. I’m going to share this podcast with one of my friends.
  • Spyfoxb
    Look…
    You review writes “I don’t like the main character”, but the character becomes more interesting later which you would know if you would simply just cut out your “I hate not picture perfect protagonist”, oh and guess a hatred towards “Nerdies”. Also she is kind of more like showing what emotions being hidden for a long time can do to a person Also also most likely a season 2 will give her more character development and less murderer like things about her
  • StaceyRox
    Great Show, Even Better Acting!
    This was a great story and I’m here to say I want more! I really hope your working on the second season!! Please let us know and don’t leave us hanging!! I Love Nancy! But why’d you have the vampire turn on her? I feel bad for Nancy!
  • AirynBoBerin
    The main character
    Is literally unbearable. I might stop listening after this episode.
  • Ig: lord.nelly
    Nancy isn’t a sociopath or psychopath
    She sociopaths don’t have the same emotions as us. Psychopaths don’t have emotions but fear, anxiety, and sadness is what they lack. Nancy more or so gives a functioning autistic person (I know a few who can feel anxiety and sadness just not for others only themselves some of have sense of empathy or sympathy at all NOT ALL THOUGH). I’d say Nancy isn’t a psychopath or a sociopath.
  • Bay Belle
    I Feel For The Vampire
    I’ve listened to a lot of narrative podcasts and generally love the characters but Nancy may be the most unlikeable character in the history of iPhones! I can’t tell if it’s the writing or the acting but she is dull, whiny, annoying and shrew-like. Thankfully, Elle was a great character and the sound design was really good. If there’s a season 2, please please please get Elle a new familiar.
  • Roninty90
    Nancy 🤦🏽‍♀️
    Main character got on my nerves 🙄 but overall I loved this podcast.

  • GlassesMcFace
    One of my fav fiction podcasts
    Very well done and love the art
  • kathren_nevermindme
    Disappointing
    Big fan of Qcode but their older stuff was written and sounded so much better, idk what happened
  • HannahGross
    Ugh
    I wanted to like this podcast, but the main character is so unbearably annoying I couldn’t stand it much longer.
  • Moiriss8
    Love it
    I wasn't expecting this twist on the story. Enjoyed every single one. Can't wait for season 2
  • abby23132432
    Amazing podcast
    I LOVE THIS SHOW it’s amazing I feel like it’s such well written I highly recommend this to anyone
  • Alexroett
    Wanted to like it…
    I really wanted to enjoy this show, but it just falls short. Nice try, I guess, but it sounds like a a high school writing project, overacted and overproduced. They call it “immersive audio” but it’s too many gimmicky slurping sound effects and Nancy’s nervous anxiety is way overplayed. Sounds like Twilight fan fiction.
  • theshitshow_
    Too good
    Just a masterpiece. The characters are amazing, the story line is flawless. 💯
  • Ashton Ketcher
    Yea.
    Thus ain’t the one I thought it was gonna be gay booo tomatoes
  • Gen1860
    Smart writing
    I love the part of Nancy, I have such mixed feelings when I listen, it's great. At first I felt sorry for her, she's funny although not trying to be and she is also horrifying. I can't wait to see what she does next.
  • Dannie Review This
    Entertaining for certain
    I am finding this Podcast entertaining. Looking forward to season 2.
  • Toney B. Davis
    Moments of chuckle and horror
    Very well voice acted ; immediately got caught up wit story & the characters! so much so , got lost on my morning walk lol had GPS the way home. A Thrilling Impressive Podcast , anything but prissy. She was like “ I’ll stay and watch “ 😅
  • Dawnzearly
    Strong girls weak girls
    Love the show but does every single fiction podcast need to have an annoying anxiety ridden, scaredy cat female? It is so annoying to listen to Nancy’s constant anxiety. At least this podcast helps her find her power; being something worse than a vampire….
  • ajmcamp
    Binge-worthy!
    Binged this podcast this week and loved it! I can’t wait for season 2!
  • FNP-C-Me
    Terrific podcast!!
    We made this one a family affair!! We love a good vampire flick and this podcast did not disappoint!! We cannot wait until next season airs!! Great voice actors, great characters, great storyline, 5 stars all around!! Nancy is everyone’s favorite lil maniac!
  • MC732
    Help me…
    I’m addicted. The writing is truly phenomenal. I can’t believe this is an audio show, yet it’s so vivid. I’m gorging the whole season, I need to know what happens to Nancy and Elle
  • Sachin D
    Improved significantly from initial robotic immersion-breaking writing
    The voice actors are clearly skilled and are doing the best they can, but the dialogue scripting for the first couple of episodes is rough. It improves significantly by episode 5 or 6.
  • Kryssie B
    So entertaining!
    This is a good pod, it’s really entertaining and the writing is suspenseful and fun.
  • GameNotes
    On Ep 1
    So far, so great!
  • poor horatio
    Fun Listen!
    Well-done. Clever.
  • Chingchongchen
    vampires!!
    after hearing the trailer on a different podcast I came here hoping for an exciting wlw vampire drama. so far they’re leaning toward a different direction but overall still well written. love the fiction aspect of QCODES podcasts. they’re exactly as advertised, immersive. only complaint i have is that nancy is sorta lame. her character was written so inconsistent, it’s frustrating. i can’t tell if she’s just supposed to have a inconsistent personality or if it’s a mistake in her character
  • Listeners discretion advised
    Subscribed so quick!
    Really love this story I won't rest until next season.
  • Snacks Fam
    So Good
    Vampires in New York. Such a fun show, need the rest of the episodes now!
