For a narrated show, this one is getting close to audio drama territory. And yes, even with a single voice! The story itself will keep you engaged. And guessing.

I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons but the 3rd season is sooooo full of woke politics to the pronouns, referring to one person constantly as They or Them, a baby unnamed at 5 months old and constantly referred to as IT, feminism and such. At least they did put in a preacher as part of the bullet catchers in the 3rd season so that’s something so not completely to the left. The story teller is very good though with the voices, moves along at a good pace. All in all is a good podcast but none of this would have taken place in the old west with the woke. Please continue to make good podcasts but leave the politics out if it for all to enjoy, thank you.

Gorgeous acting and audio production and story. All three seasons are awesome. Definitely worth the listen.

I was hoping to edit my original review, but can’t find it. For whatever reason, after my scathing review of the first 9 episodes of season 2 i hit play once more. While I completely did not enjoy the first 9 episodes, i have enjoyed the episodes since then. OMG, what a Change !!! Thank you for getting back to the thrill of Season 1. Thank You Thank You, and Sorry for the Original 3 Star Rating. I’m changing back to a 5. GOD BLESS !!!!!

The first season was good, it gets worse. Too many tropes, modern politics, just plain dumb stuff. Why make all these stories in “hard places”, “ hard times”, and with “hard people” so soft? Storytellers disconnected from the reality of the world, the emotions,and experiences they try to recreate and no actual desire to do the work to gain meaningful insight.

Nothing more to ask for in a fiction podcast. Interesting story, great voice acting, good production. Wonderful overall.

Yet another podcast rendered “meh” due to politics.

Being FTP I loved the first season. I liked the second season a lot. Listened to all three with diminishing anticipation. Definitely a worthwhile podcast with a solid story line, it just got a little bit watered down as it went on. I recommend overall and would listen to a forth season however the content would need to be more in volume and quality than the commercials.

This story was a great dystopian western ! Wonderful premise, I was hooked with the first episode. It kept my interest and looked forward to each as a reward for making it though another week! Imma is a wonderful character who evolves through the story into a woman who stands up for her family and friends against the odds over and over-each time with growth and developing her idea of self. The supporting cast surprised me with its slow reveal of motivators and depth of the characters. I was sad to reach the end but satisfied with the tying up of plot threads to an acceptable end. A satisfying story of life though the growth of teen survival through the emergence and success of a young capable and fierce woman and those she loves. Perhaps you should write more adventures?

This feels like it was written by a twelve year old girl who tried to put her own spin on plagiarizing the Star Wars story. The idea seems interesting at first but it is so poorly executed. There is no feeling in it and the interactions between characters who have not seen each other in years is beyond unrealistic. But hey the author does beat us over the head with female power and men bad politics at every turn so there’s that. And hey the main bad guy is closeted so he will of course be a main character moving forward who realizes the error of his ways. Blue politics so forced and unnecessary — skip.

I love this! It’s amazing. The storyline, the reading, the sound effects. It make you feel like you’re there. It fully deserves 5 stars and I wish so bad that I could give it that. However, there are some very big problems that I have with it. The first one is the way that it shoves liberal ideology down your throat. From the homosexual relationships where there is no need in the world for there to be any (in fact and sorry for the spoiler it got so annoying that I had to skip through the marriage scene at the end bc of how much they were trying to make homosexual marriages sound good. They were right to not have one earlier or I would have given a two star and stopped listening), to the way they kinda work the whole “industrial capitalists bad, new world order good” into the story so you don’t notice it unless you’re looking for it, and then whining about roe vs wade in the last few episodes which is a decision I know many people agree was good to overturn. A more miner problem was the slight inconsistencies. For instance the move she learned in season two would have worked perfectly in season 3 for defence. It would have been much easier and more dramatic then the way they defended themselves. It and the Gatling gun like catch were my favourites Also there’s no way she could have lost her bullet catching skills in 1 year. It would have taken at least around 5 or more. Besides those problems I loved the whole thing and I hope that the story continues only if it does I hope they find some way to kill Reynard and changes Niko from a homosexual to a man. A REAL man.

Great story, but the political subtext is forced and looses its effectiveness. It’s clumsily thrown into every situation and is unnatural. If the author wants to make a point on social commentary, it should be developed and natural instead of crammed in at every opportunity.

At first I wasn’t in to it, but I decided to listen to the first episode again and I was sold. I’m glad they made multiple seasons. The storyline isn’t predictable except that they always find a way to survive.

Fantastic show, looking back at the first season to where we are now in the third is crazy. Give me more western/sci-fi/fantasy please! Great characters and awesome plot.

One of the best stories that will have you wanting more after every episode.

I listen to be entertained not lectured about how you disagree with the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v Wade. Not interested in your politics.

So far my favorite by Realm! I loved everything about it. Action, suspense, humor and Romance! Family is everything <3

This is one of my favorite shows from Realm. Amazing and very entertaining story. Highly recommend

I’ve always had a love for western movies. This drama is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before (Not surprising since it’s by Realm) The western ambient and sounds are on the point. The characters are really cool and the whole story is really refreshing. I also like the dark tower vibes and this have some of the best audio fiction drama

I have never written a review before. But this storyline was so well written I felt like I loved every character. I finished the whole thing in under a week because I just could not stop thinking about all the characters! Sad it’s over but will definitely listen again ❤️

One of my favorites. Anything that makes you yell at the radio with frustration or anger or happiness is a gem. Great job to the gal who voices the characters! My kids would love story time with you!!

An amazing podcast. Definitely worth listening to. BUT WHY NICO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Nooooo bullet catcher😭

LET’S GOOOOOO! I’m so exited, I was hooked on season 1, I love stories with combat, and this just blew me away! (Also realm team, if you really DO read all the reviews, could you mention my name in one of the upcoming episodes? It would mean the world to me like you don’t even KNOW!)

I was looking for a good fantasy podcast like beautiful lier or last known position. When I found this it gave me dark tower vibes. And how Niko died and Imma is the narrator is great. 👍🏼

Blowing through for seasoning right now! Great story, great characters! Definitely recommend❤️👍🏻❤️

Great story- from a first person perspective , which for some reason is the easiest to listen to in an audiobook for me. Can’t believe it took me so long to find realm

This podcast is the perfect combination of action, drama, imagery, world building, and characterization. All of the characters are complex, and the world is vast and vivid. I highly recommend.

Binged it in two days. So ready for season 2!

I loved the story and i would highly recommend it to others that are all about an action and intense full adenture

The actress who reads all the characters is amazing. The atmosphere and effects is really cool, kinda like dark tower except with a female main character. I dig it.

I love this story. The way he goes into such detail in describing things is a true gift. I binge listened to this and am sad I’m almost done!! I’d love to hear more stories from this author.

This was a fantastic western escape. Written and performed well enough that I sank into the rhythm of the performance and thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

Nice podcast one of my favorites. When can we expect season 2 & 3?

So well written, so well read. Easy to visualize and feel the world that was created in this story.

This is by far my favorite series from Realm.

Fun, entertaining podcast.

This show is perfect. It's been a long while since I've found a drama/action story this good, a repeat listen definitely. The PLATONIC relationship between Imma and the Bullet Catcher ambushed my heart. Family, forgiveness, redemption are at the core. (For reference, my favorite shows are Motherhacker (both seasons), DUST: Chrysalis (season 3), Levar Burton Reads, and The Program. Oh, and 13 Days of Halloween.

I wasn’t sure I would like this but I was looking for something new to listen to and gave it a try. It’s so good. the story captured me right away. the acting is top notch and sound is excellent. Give it a try!

I don’t know why this isn’t more highly rated. The story is unpredictable, the acting is top notch, the characters are complex and likable and the sound effects immerse you in the story. I only wish the episodes came out faster!!

Great story telling, the sound is really incredible. I can never wait until the next episode, such an interesting story!

I love westerns and I love this show

What kinda crap is this, did I really just wait 2 weeks for a 20 minute episode?! Annoying.

This podcast is soooooo well done! I love the plot, the soundtrack, EVERYTHING. One suggestion: make a special episode with just the soundtrack, loved the Bad Pines Shootout music, but couldn’t pay full attention to the music when I relish the episode for the 50th time. I would like to analyze the soundtrack and other elements, maybe some Inside The Episodes? I think it would be a great addition for tech nerds like me. Anyways love this podcast and I am always looking out for new episodes! Keep up the great work!

From the narration, music, spacial audio, and storyline, it’s all amazing. Totally hooked.

Great listen 🎧

I’ve been looking for more narrative story telling podcasts, and this definitely fills that hole in my life!

Narrator is really great and makes it so compelling. Super invested in where the story is going.

This is by far the best podcast I’ve ever listened to! The fact that bullet is niko is kind of obvious if you have seen a new hope/the empire strikes back, still a great podcast! Why is everyone so worked up about the fox blood

Personal drarma in a strange world.

The atmosphere and setting created is great. I also love the metaphors used to illustrate what’s going on. However, the way the main character/narrator is written can be really annoying. Her whining about killing Bullet when there a crap ton of gunslingers on the way is just dumb. Even at nine years old, a child can know the odds of success and living are slim to none when you’re outnumbered. And she knows she’s not fully trained and slow, so how she thinks she’d kill a seasoned professional is beyond me. A better angle would have been to have her frustrated at the outcome versus “Ya can’t. He’s right there.” Scenes and commentary like this are enough to make me quit the show due to sheer irritation.
