    I love this podcast!
    It's an entertaining listen & story. Of course I love Misha Collins, knowing him from watching Supernatural, and Wil Wheaton! It needs a season 3 and many more after that. Please come out with new seasons, pleeeeeeease!
  • Edwards227484
    Vipin Character Hard to Listen To
    Pretty good story, although a little heavy on emotional dialogue. Too much angry emotional outbursts from the main characters. The Vipin character needs a rework. He’s so over the top extremely wimpy beta male, and it’s distracting to listen to.
  • Silverstar104
    More seasons Please
    I’m not in podcasting and I do not pretend to know what goes on behind microphones, but…. More Seasons Please!! I was hooked from the start, the narrative is so good, there really is something here to explore for an extended period of time! I would be ecstatic if more episodes were to premier! The show and acting and voice characters were all so perfect!
  • MAD0525
    Pretty decent
    Overall it’s a good story. I had an issue with Anne as a character. They alluded to her age a little later and it doesn’t make sense how she’d be doing what she is doing at that age.
  • LizzieMJ87
    We want Season 3!
    I am new to listening to podcasts, audiobooks, etc and I have to say I was delighted to come across this story. I was not so delighted when it ended at season 2. There is so much more to be told to the audience in the story and I would pay to be able to find out what happens next!
  • Connieanddennis
    All time Favorite
    I absolutely love this podcast. Wish there were more seasons!
  • CMSharpe
    Started out good….
    Good story, very mysterious, good lore…but characters are very cookie-cut and the main character goes from being a hardcore skeptic (stubbornly so) to just believing it, with almost no transition. Second season was kinda weak. Worth a listen if you need something in the background.
  • Pomsky Girl
    Beyond Entertainment…Intriguing!
    Upon first listening to this podcast, I simply found it entertaining. I needed a break from my normal go-to true crime subscriptions. In the course of listening, I started doing a little research to try and better understand the lore of the podcast. To my surprise, there was a great deal of historical lore that really lended credibility to the story. I recently watched Beyond Skinwalker Ranch, Season 1 Episode 6. The crew visited the Bridgewater Triangle. Local experts discussed the paranormal events reported in the Triangle/Hockamock Swamp/Skim Milk Bridge. Interesting events unfolded while the investigation was being filmed, such as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP - orbs specifically) and unexplained electromagnetic field spikes. Now, my interest has really been piqued about Bridgewater. I had never heard about this region prior to listening to the podcast and I’m hooked! Great story! The imagery you paint in the podcast is so vivid. After watching the Skinwalker show, I want to go back and listen to Bridgewater again, because I can now add the details of what the area actually looks like!
  • JamiesTruth
    Too many commercials
    Is there a way to subscribe to not get commercials? There’s no option on the podcast itself or on the Grim and Mild website.
  • (Walter55)
    Guys ya just can’t give up!
    Bring season 3 on, don’t just give up on this exciting podcasts I triple dog dare ya to bring it back!!!!!
  • Standbyit
    Good one
    This was a good story, good voice actors kept me wanting to listen for just a few minutes more that turned into an entire episode
  • Soapbox diva
    Such good voice acting!
    I love fiction and story telling pods. I’m late in finding this one but it’s excellent! Very entertaining.
  • Star_Chaser27
    Great story!
    I am so glad I found this one! I was so intrigued with the storyline that I was drawn in and kept wanting more. The characters are well developed and draw you into their stories so easily. I can only hope that there will be a season 3!!! 💯 You guys can’t leave us hanging like this 😱
  • freedinchrist
    A bit annoying
    Too drawn out. Same conversations that go no where episode after episode
  • Bungo754
    It was ok
    I listened to both seasons and the production and acting were good but I had so much trouble telling the voices apart, especially the female characters. There was a minor role in one ep who was supposed to have been a kid in the 70s i.e. significantly older than everyone else in the scene but she just sounded like a weirdly old-fashioned young person. If they hadn’t over-used names all the time I also would have been confused between Jeremy and Thomas. The story was ok, but I think the script could have been tightened up and god forbid more diverse voices used. I know people found Vipin annoying but at least I knew who he was!
  • DonBright
    Get Rid of Vipin Character
    I really like this show but that professor assistant, Vipin, is sooooooo annoying. I don’t know if it’s the voice of the actor or how he acts, in general but it makes the show so cringy to me. I’m always hooked until he starts talking. His acting is so cringe!!
  • Msq888
    Loved it
    I’m re-listening through seasons 1 and 2! Loved all the characters! Really hope there’s a season 3 in the work for Bridgewater pod!
  • maheeenz
    One of the best in a while
    Enjoyed the story, the characters! Great, easy listen. I binged it in 2 days. Hands down one of the BEST fiction podcasts out there. I wish there were more seasons!!!
  • pee🎈
    Amazing
    Sucked me in from the start. Amazing actors and story line. The sound effects are mesmerizing. You can picture the entire setting in your mind. Magical!
  • Dbera58
    Go woke Go Broke
    I wanted to enjoy this, I always loved Lore… but why for God’s sake do you have to make your political leanings part of the story ??? Never have this been a problem til 2016. The story really is mediocre, add in the politics and this podcast has lost a listener.
  • JessicaNicole43
    Misha Collins and Melissa Ponzio, Wow
    I’m always skeptical of dramatized fictional podcasts, as the voice acting and narration can take me out of the story really easily. But Misha Collins and Melissa Ponzio are FANTASTIC in this, to the point where it sounds like I’m listening to an actual TV show. The way that they are able to switch scenes without narration and over announcing the new location is seamless. The story has me wanting to listen more and the sound effects are immersing. Loving Bridgewater so far!
  • Scotirishpalelady
    Listened to both seasons 5 times
    I love this serial drama that harkens back to the radio dramas of the olden days. I hope a season 3 happens as this story is too good to end at 2 seasons. The writing earns 5 stars and the actors deserve all the accolades. Listen with headphones for the best experience, but watch out for the addictive qualities of this story.
  • Momo shikiro
    Absolutely amazing!!
    Can not WAIT for season 3! It’s been a wild and amazing ride so far. 100% recommend.
  • Starry eyed 44
    So good!
    Aww I loved it and so cool to hear Mischa as a voice actor! And Vipin is such a great character. My favorite. Too bad iheartradio cancelled such a great show. Without ending the story. Kinda makes me want to avoid everything by iheartradio the don’t seem to care about the listeners or the artists making the content
  • birdsdurango
    Riveting
    I’m not typically a bigger but this has Been the exception. Love this podccast
  • SadieWit
    Spooky with the right mixture of humor
    Another eerie fiction podcast that feels like it stepped right out of the Twilight Zone. Excellent voice acting, nice mix of humor
  • Delcobunny
    Loved it!!
    More please 🥺💕
  • KeanaBabe5292
    Chilling and suspenseful
    Great story from start to finish. Didn’t want it to end. Very gripping thriller. Loved it!
  • Cissy62
    Next season?
    Waiting on new season! Please??
  • carrapooh
    Truly captivating
    The story was amazing && I couldn’t put it down, just had to find out what was going on through out the story. Truly hope the writer will continue stories as amazing & grabbing as this one.
  • Sbleger76
    No more Nathan Fillion/ bring on S-3
    Kind of sad Nathan fillion isn’t still part of this. But this series is awesome overall I really hope you record a third season. Last season was so very good.
  • Kazmierski
    Is it over?
    I loved it!
  • Sirviz
    Ads ruin the amazing experience
    Nearly do e with season two and really enjoying the twists and turns and the immersive audio. However, the ads ruin any sort of mood that gets set up. There are a couple that begin with pitchmen literally shouting. Thats a real disruption, especially when coming out of a quiet or intense scene. Otherwise, another great podcast from Grim and Mild!
  • AJA⭐️
    Bring on Season Three
    Great story! Super engaging and great characters. Relationship development and mystical beings. #mystery #mystical #drama #storytelling
  • Jaszss
    Love the political comments
    Seriously please pay no mind to the airheads who think politics should be left out of YOUR art (I mean really!! The unmitigated gall it must take to tell someone what to do with their own creation is just out of this world). Politics can be found in most, if not all, of our facets of life. Some of us don't have the privilege of picking when politics will show up in our everyday affairs. Asking a creator to stay quiet on topics that matter for the sake of your extended stay in the ignorant bliss hotel is very obtuse and self-serving. If you prefer a podcast far removed from the politics of today try listening to history, ASMR, cooking, or living under a rock but even then no promises. After all, art imitates Life
  • Mrs. Williams 21
    What happened
    Good podcast but out of seasons for a while now!
  • Lost hiker girl
    Amazing
    Such a good podcast. It’s like I’m there with them. I need a season 3
  • Sadiebax
    Gripping podcast
    I don’t know how I got this far in my podcast life and hadn’t discovered this gem! It plays so beautifully, I can “see” the characters as they tell their story. Love the story, the voices and please please tell me there will be a season 3!
  • Punkinator86
    We get it.
    This show has so much potential. Some of us are trying to have a momentary reprieve from the political opinions of everyone. Please eliminate the totally unnecessary political comments, the show would be so much better. Aaron Mahnke is so gifted at what he does, but all of his work that I’ve heard is riddled with passive aggressive political opinions. We get it, you don’t like Trump. Move on.
  • Ohreniishiii
    Loved every second!
    Will there be a season 3?! I hope so. That was great.
  • Lost in 1984
    Phenomenal!
    The production of this podcast is top notch. I have not been this transfixed to a show like this in a long time. The voice acting is so very well done and combined with the 3D audio I sometimes forget I’m listening to a podcast and not a movie. The story twists and turns and continues to surprise me. Love it!
  • Lupe D.
    More please!
    With the writers strike and now SAG-AFTRA, I’m a little concerned there may not be a season 3 for a while but please, at least tell us there are plans for one!!!
  • Jk14MR
    If you dislike unnecessary political content, pick a different show
    The random, unnecessary political comments are a buzzkill in this show. I wish I knew they were going to include them, I wouldn’t have watched this far.
  • Aidene Siannodel
    Misha Collins is a saving grace
    Bridgewater is certainly great fun no matter how you slice it, but also I’m not gonna dress it up. While the concept behind it is brilliant, the writing as a whole is…not very good, and sometimes it’s outright terrible. Forced exposition dumps, unbelievable dialogue, and plenty of key story beats that needed to be drafted two or three more times. Usually I get so irritated by this sort of thing that that it will make me rage quit. But what keeps me coming back to Bridgewater is Misha Collins’ acting. He breathes so much life into the character of Jeremy with his performance that, at least as far as Jeremy is concerned, he kinda redeems even the worst lines of dialogue because he can still sell it. I can believe him and his emotions even when the writing is unbelievable. So first of all, that’s really impressive that Misha can still act so well even with a mediocre/bad script. Secondly, he’s carrying the show. I am still invested solely because of him. Love you Misha. I hope you forgive me for being a bit critical of the show.
  • Schwartzbear
    Twists and turns
    Not a stale moment and I’m only through the first season! Can’t wait to see what’s next. Aaron is a serious master of the morbidly mysterious.
  • Jessnicolexo
    More!
    Plz I need more! This was amazing binged both seasons in 2 days lol!
  • snpkvp214
    Great Drama Podcast
    I’d been looking for another podcast after tennis and rabbits., Limetown and others in that vein. Bridgewater was on a recommendation list I found. This was a great podcast. The writing was interesting, adventurous, and kept my adrenaline level up there. The voice actors were fabulous. I liked the smooth blending of supernatural, mystery, crime and the interplay of relationships. Definitely recommend.

    Very good kept me up till midnight listening. Amazing ending though I wish it was a never ended.
  • Lynnjacy
    Mahnke is a genius
    I’ve tried to like storytelling podcasts in the past. Not until finding Aaron Mahnke did I actually fall in love with one. Bridgewater is the best thing you will ever hear. Mysterious, fantastical, suspenseful, heartbreaking in the most beautiful way. You will love the characters, you’ll yell at them to make better choices, you’ll cry with them when they fall apart, you’ll binge listen to every episode.
  • elaevandan
    So engaging
    I drive for Lyft sometimes and EVERY passenger I had while listening to this podcast was so engaged they barely wanted to get out of my car lol. I really enjoyed this. Hope there’s a new season coming soon.
