    Why have you not released season 2?
    This story was riveting. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it had been released in 2018 with no season 2. They leave you with a major cliffhanger! I’m going to have to hunt down the creator using “Sandra” and force them to finish.
  • 6newyorkers
    Sandra!
    Amazing storytelling! Please come out with a second season!
  • Destructababy
    We need more!
    Please make season 2
  • lost in my reading
    No second season?
    Just listened through for my second time after many years. I love this series. How did it never get a second season with an ending like that?
  • GushiFerret
    Another story of how gimlet let us down by moving to Spotify
    Pretty good storytelling, but by making it a multi season episode in a world, where podcast futures are uncertain. This basically left us with the Netflix factor: an unsatisfying story with no ending. And I’m just going to come out and say it: the Spotify app didn’t work correctly. Part of the draw was that it allowed for more dynamic ads, but all the ads I ever heard were cut off halfway through their announcements.
  • driven2review
    Amazing!
    So happy to see this entire series again!
  • tilyann
    Where’s the ending??
    This podcast was so good. But thumbs down to gimlet for not finishing it. And then gimlet is advertising a new podcast?? No thanks, they didn’t finish this one or Homecoming. So no, I’m not interested.
  • Schleichster
    Plot is pretty dull.
    I kept thinking it would build and go somewhere but it just fell flat. Voice acting and production were great but the plot was just boring. Also I haaaaate when podcasts go exclusive with Spotify.

    Half Baked
    Like so many of these bigger budget shows this is fairly polished but only half baked. I’d love to have well promoted and funded fiction with some people who actually care about fiction podcasts and audio dramas on the team.
  • Jess Giles
    Please keep writing
    I loved this podcast, excellent narrative and story line. I can’t wait to see what happens next 😬😀🙌 Will we get a season 2?
  • Tarma Roving
    Good quality, but feels unfinished
    The voice acting and well-structured plot here are great. The characters feel real and the "Sandra" concept is close enough to Google to be recognizable... and frightening. It builds to a tense, and unexpected climax, but then... what? Somehow the ending leaves me wanting more, and not in an "Encore!" way, but in a "Wait... that's it?" way. Perhaps more episodes are planned, or maybe I was in the mood for a novel and checked out a novella. Oh well. Still worth a listen.
  • kellllly-
    Need more of this!
    This is my favorite genre and it was very well executed. I’m always for recommendations on podcasts similar to Sandra. Wishing they’d come out with more!
  • adriiiii09
    WHY would they delete all eps?
    I literally just started this...came back a few days later and all the episodes are gone...
  • MGM2448

    I need more episodes
    This freaking show was my introduction to podcasts and I'm so sad there's no more episodes
  • Betsbird
    Not to bad, worth a listen
    I’m pretty picky when it comes to podcasts. Very much a skeptic, but this is worth a listen I just never can tell when a commercial comes on. Interesting concept. Enjoyed it.
  • 182loadedwords
    Season 2 Please!
    I listened to the whole season in one day. Please make another!
  • Heythereravin
    Awesome Fictional Show
    This show is amazing!!! I’ve listened to a few fictional podcasts, but this one is the best so far. I can’t believe I listened to it all the way through, all episodes, in just half a day. I need season 2 ASAP!!
  • Shh...Dont Ask
    Awesome! Let’s continue it
    Heck I write and I’m quarantined. I have nothing but time. Let’s finish Sandra.
  • NyJetGirL559
    Please bring Season 2
    I really enjoyed listening to this. I hope there will be a season 2!!! I really would like to know what happens next!
  • Guarddreamer
    Dying for season 2
    Ugh, literally no he’s the whole season in a couple hours. I could NOT stop listening. So invested in the characters and the story. I guess I’ll check out the other stories by this author in the midst of my desperate waiting for season 2.

    Very entertaining and keeps you listening.
  • Valjoyhow
    Great podcast
    Just binged this. So good! Hoping for a 2nd season please!
  • shnrnmthr
    Please release a Season 2!
    I am so happy I found this podcast! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. The storyline perfectly entangles romance, drama, comedy, and action. It features some of my favorite actresses which is a major added bonus! I love that it acts out a solid storyline, but I just wish it ended on a more conclusive note. Please, for the love of god, release a season 2. I listened to all of season 1 while filing through my 2019 taxes so now I’m just sitting here covered in paperwork 🤷🏽‍♀️
  • bronsonian
    Are there really only 7 episodes?
    I don’t understand why nothing gets tied up at the end. It literally stops right in the middle of the action. No resolution. That’s super lame.
  • BoulderLoose
    Pretty good fiction!
    It’s been hard for me to come around to fiction podcasts but I did like this one.
  • NekoKnight_
    It’s alright
    I really really wanted to love Sandra. There are some moments that are beautiful and pure and really express the curiosity and drive of humans to learn. But I just felt like the show didn’t have any action, or much a story to follow for that matter. I just kept waiting for things to really get started. And when they finally did, there was only one episode left. And I don’t really feel like it ended or like the story concluded. It just kind of stopped. I would absolutely love for this to get a season two and complete the story, though.
  • Lauren1850
    Fantastic
    The concept, acting, and production were all great! It’s such a weird, dark story. I absolutely loved it!
  • Caesar's ma
    Wow! Please have a season 2 ASAP!
    What a concept and what a show! This needs to be a movie for sure but before that, please release Season 2!!
  • bjs thoughts

  • keeponlivin
    Best podcast that’s ever been made!
    I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is the best. The production, actors, sound is amazingly executed.
  • i like pie and i am cool!!!!!
    Pretty rad!!
    This show was pretty rad! Awesome story and acting, not too hard to follow so it’s easy to listen to while doing other things
  • Ash8787421780
    How many commercials do you people need?
    Also slow and bad acting.
  • jenni1900
    Way too many commercials
    Story is interesting but commercials every few minutes.
  • LibraryFan42
    Interesting
    Really interesting and unusual, but what’s with the weird repetitive gin ads?!
  • Michael Laskin
    The ads made my ears bleed
    Good show but the ads are remarkably annoying. Good god.
  • Bttbxx
    Hendricks gin
    Love the podcast, but the ads playing over and over and over are awful. I listened to the Hendricks gin as play back to back and wanted to die a little 🤷🏼‍♀️🤢
  • Rachel635
    Great story
    Really good, great story! But Gimlet has got to get their ads figured out. The finale’s Hendicks Gin ad was 3 MINUTES long! Whose idea was that?! That’s an infomercial, that’s actually anti-advertising. I think Im going to gag on every time I hear Hendicks Gin from now on. But otherwise, great podcast.
  • martell559
    cool story
    cant wait for season 2. i look at Alexa and siri in a different way now haha
  • hellopaperclip
    SO GOOD! Please get rid of those obnoxious Hendricks ads!
    I have been loving this show and I can't wait for season two. I just hope those two-minute, irritating-as-heck Hendricks commercials are gone. PLEASE.
  • Aziz lopez
    I like it and I want more of it
    It is a great show with a great story and characters. can not wait for season 2 to come
  • Awesome Andrea
    Unengaging
    Made it to episode 6, then couldn’t wait any longer for something... anything... to happen. Good cast and voice acting, but a terribly unengaging and slow podcast.
  • Sue...617
    Season 2???
    I’m yearning for Season 2 of Sandra!!
  • sandrareview82319
    funny story, use the fast forward button for ads
    i really enjoyed this story and felt a connection to all the characters. there are a lot of ads but the fast forward button was handy in this situation!
  • kablsonswenor
    Good podcast but WAY too many ads.
    I would’ve given this 5 stars because the story line is super cool! But there are so many ads, it feels like the actual episode is 10-15 min. And it’s not like the ads are at the beginning or end of the episode. They at the beginning, end, and scattered throughout the episode itself. I’m honestly considering just moving into another podcast because constantly having to fast forward is getting really ridiculous.
  • soleilfleur83
    SO. MANY. ADS.
    I have never heard anything like this. I liked most of the show itself (the last episode was seriously awful), but the 20 minute episodes contain at least 4-5 minutes of the same 3 ads AT FOUR DIFFERENT POINTS. I legitimately thought it was a joke at first. Now I think they’re trying to make me (not very) slowly lose my mind.
