- The creators have trigger warnings for all episodes either spoken at the beginning and at the bottom of all episode transcripts (which are linked and free to view) so you'll always have safe listening
- Like detective stories but ACAB? YES penumbra says so too!! First two seasons may be detective but then! CRIME FAMILY
- Detective stuff not your jam?? Ummm hello, have you HEARD about the lizard and human that fall in love in the Second Citadel episodes? (I haven't finished listening to those so shh no spoilers)
- SIR CAROLINE and JUNO STEEL alone just make me feel so much
- Also literally every other character, they're all so original and complex
- So so sO much representation, but some that are off the top of my head are: lots of mental health struggles (depression, people who deal with hallucinations), gender (it's sci-fi, the gender is OUT OF THIS WORLD and so well done, non binary characters, a lady and his name is Juno Steel, use of Mx.), and if I remember correctly characters that are on the autism spectrum, a character who looses an eye, and a character who is unable to walk.
- Also the stories are just so amazing!!! We see so much character growth through the episodes and new challenges for the characters to face
- My favorite episode of all time was (I think the title but I know what happened) Juno Steel and the Heart of it All because YALL it's like a heist and there's twists and turns and I audibly gasped and then made my sister listen as I told her beat by beat what happened because IT WAS SO GOOD
- @the-tumbl-trout girl you just gotta listen and calling you out GET OUT OF YOUR PODCAST FUNK I BELIEVE IN U
- Also, y'all it's just my favorite show and 👉👈🥺 it would be nice to talk to more people about
- Lastly, the creators are struggling (as many of us are) financially. More listeners and more people talking about the show can help!
If you wanna give the show a listen for the first or 80th time, if anybody is interested let's do a listening party of that heist episode (I'll figure out if I have the right title or not) maybe Sunday Feb 6? Let me know if you're interested!
