Popular Reviews of King Falls AM

Legitimately my favorite audio drama podcast. It's so subtle that I thought nothing was happening in most of the early episodes. But I was so so so so so wrong.

An amazing story with extremely loveable characters. It has the perfect amount of comedy, suspense, and creepiness. If you’re not laughing your *ss off, crying, or getting goosebumps, your on the edge of your seat and itching to listen to the next episode.

Hands down my favorite podcast. I've listened to it easily 20 times all the way through.

I love love love it! The story is incredible, the voice acting is top notch and you will be sure to enjoy yourself and have fun while listening, along with making sure that Kyle and Eric have a full stock of listener tears. This show means everything to me. The community is amazing, the people are amazing, the characters are amazing. Just... don't pass on this amazing podcast!

Still one of my favorite podcasts.It doesn't sound like it in the first episodes but this funny duo will make you love them like no other.Fair warning, it is unfinished and sounds like the last season will not be aired, as of decembre 2021.

Incredible

A big part of enjoying the humor of this series is finding old men swearing funny. I do and I also greatly enjoyed the authentic feeling small radio show vibe.

The Good: The friendship between the two main characters is fantastic and the show's best example of positive masculinity is in their platonic affection for each other, especially since one of them is gay. Their banter is fun and their closeness develops organically. Some of the friendship/found family moments outside of this relationship are also pretty solid. Half the townsfolk are endearing and some are even interesting. The production and voice acting are solid. Sometimes the show nails drama and character conflict in a way that kept me invested. Some of the supernatural shenanigans (Jack-in-the-Box Jesus, werewolf puppies) are fun. Problematic elements (mentioned below) improve over time.The Bad: The show ends on a huge cliffhanger after 100 episodes, with several unresolved plot threads. The show's adherence to its framing device ruins some of the tension, as characters will be in danger at the end of some episodes and two weeks later they're fine. It also calls into question why certain things are being discussed on air. The other half of the townsfolk are annoying, though the worst ones don't show up as much past episode 40. Miscommunication runs rampant, creating some manufactured drama. Nowhere is this more apparent than in main character Ben, who is likeable 60% of the time and insufferable the rest, though he grows over time (with occasional moments of regression). The main romance (Ben and Emily), which has sweet moments, would be more enjoyable if it started with more subtlety and it didn't seem like it existed for Ben's benefit more than Emily's. The show's problematic elements - an offensive portrayal of Native American culture (skinwalkers), Incredibly Super Hot Love Interest Emily being unable to exist without someone commenting on her physical appearance, a sexist character who isn't called out soon enough and other male entitlement, and a character who exists for racist Shock Value humor - cast a shadow over the show's good intentions.

When commercials gets on your mind, you start to imitate the characters, and cry from laughter - or just cry - you KNOW it's good!

I will give this full on five stars. I've loved this podcast so far. My only gripe is that I finally caught up to the show. It isn't often that I find a podcast that I absolutely can't wait for the next episode to come out. These guys have done an amazing job with it and I'm so happy that I found it.

Really good podcast, the hosts have a good chemistry and the format works well for telling spooky small town stories. Looking forward to listening to more!

Really cool glimpses of the strange town of King Falls. Love the way the episodes are short enough but still pack an awesome atmosphere of strangeness. Including the fictional ads!

While the voice actors and the musical episode were amazing, the podcast became interestingly difficult to enjoy and even listen to with the constant racist jokes, misogynistic characters, and the treatment of a gay character being called slurs as his coming out. One of the only podcasts I've listened to and came out truly hating. I'm really sad it wasted its potential with its uncomfortable inconsiderate writing that would have been prevented if even one person in the writing room stopped to consider if they had any right to make the jokes that were made.

Such an amazing show. A phenomenal story told by some amazing writers through the very talented voice actors.

Easily one of the best comedy/drama podcasts out there at the moment. KFAM finds the balance between stand-alone episodes that highlight the daily goings-on in their strange little mountain town and story arcs that span several episodes. The chemistry between the two main protagonists is perfect and all the other characters are intriguing, each in their own way, from comical to villainous. Edit: I eventually stopped listening at around episode 100. It felt like the creators couldn't figure out what their story was about anymore. And of course the whole thing fell apart when some real life drama entered the equation and they just ended the podcast. You should still check it out, the first 60 or so episodes are really great.

A show with a good heart and intriguing spooks. Occasionally very funny and sweet, too.

FUCKING AMAZING PODCAST! The storyline, while not for everyone, is parts angst, drama and humor - definitely not for the kiddies though! Highly recommend.

This is not only my favourite podcast, it's one of my favourite ever pieces of fiction. It starts out as a small town spooky buddy comedy and soon evolves into a powerful story of found family, getting back up when you think you're defeated, and love triumphing over hate. Alongside the gags and the weirdness, there's contemporary political insight, LGBT representation and allyship. Growing up in the 90s, this reminds me of cult TV like X-Files, Buffy and SPN. If you want characters that feel like family, tight layered writing, a stunning soundtrack and nail-biting drama, dive in.

Some things don't make sense and the sound design is a bit ccartoonish sometimes (for example, the episode with the weird tapes - the chanting and singing in the background was overdone and so was the creepy voice at the end) but the dialogue, characters and the whole dynamic of the show make up for it in my opinion so I'm giving it five stars.

I wanted to like this show so much. It advertised as kind of a less chaotic Welcome To Nightvale or an xfiles like radio show in a small town. Except you realize while getting a season in that its actually just a small town full of the worst kind of people being absolutely horrible to eachother and there happens to be some supernaturalness to it. The amount of sexual harrassment, sexual assault, antifeminism, homophobia and victim blaming that happens in this show is like kinda mind blowing.This could've been so great. Maybe if they had a more diverse cast or writing crew to help point out the massive amount of controversial plot points, I would've been a die hard fan. As it is I'm just angry I wasted so many hours listening to a story that went nowehere.
