mvie<3Life savingThis podcast is beautiful. The writing, the music, the performances, the sound design- it sounds so real and yet is so perfectly crafted. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever heard before... the story is excellently structured, each episode left me wanting more. I can see why others might need time to digest this because the subject matter can be challenging- but representing domestic violence is imperative to confronting the epidemic of violence (yes, even within LGBTQ culture). This story is rendered in such an immersive and innovative way. It took my breath away. I shared it with a friend for whom I’ve been concerned due to what I believe is abusive behavior of her partner, and she said that listening to this show made her wonder if she’s being abused. The show did for her what I never could, and I am forever grateful. This podcast will save lives.

SkeinanigansYour promo ruins my favorite podcastsI haven’t listened to this podcast but the promo is so grating, using all the buzzwords: “queer femme,” “herstory,” ugh. I am a queer femme and I have no interest listening to a series that sounds like it glorifies violence, not to mention the voice of the promo narrator makes me sick.
-
cesar ValNot for everyoneStory development was amazing, very realistic even informative to a point. Scary to see how it may resemble the lives of loved ones.
-
podster50A little over the topUsually LOVE CBC podcasts but this was a little over the top. Gave up after 2 episodes. I guess it was just too graphic for me. It made me uncomfortable.
-

Sally&EllaJust WOW!So real, raw and intense! This story although fictitious describes the super complex experiences that many women in same sex abusive relationships have been through including myself. I found it riveting and yet at time hard to listen to. Nonetheless I couldn’t stop listening because I was so hooked by the characters & story. This podcast was incredibly well done on so many levels. Thank you to everyone who made this podcast become a reality. I feel fortunate to have stumbled onto it in NPR listening app.

QueenmickieLoved ItBeautifully done! Bravo! A movie for your ears. I loved the intimate, raw and emotional ride. Please do more.
-
Doglove2101Kinda basic and terrible editingThe way this is editing with the continuous cuts mid sentence is really annoying at first I had to see if it was my phone but when I realized it was an intentional choice I was even more annoyed also the writing is all very predictable in hindsight this whole series kind sounded like a queer lifetime movie
-
whoa Im wowedOne SuggestionThis show is amazing, I feel so seen! One thing - please add note in the show notes of Episode 5 about the rape scene. I understand that this content is supposed to be difficult to hear but I was not braced for that. Besides that, only rainbows about this very serious important content!!
-

LépetiteNext Level Storytelling, Amazing!I listened to this straight through - on my way to work and during work. Like consuming the chapters of a great book you can’t put down, this was THAT podcast. Auditory bliss, raw storytelling and real-life-ness that unabashedly touches on so many hardships we face as womxn. I found myself sympathizing with all characters and reflecting on my own experiences. I truly thank these creators for standing in the truths that encompass this podcast. Beautifully done !
