Stellar

A nice piece of fiction, well performed and beautiful sound design.
Martin Freeman is the bomb-ditty.

listened to it twice in a row

I loved the way the main character goes on a delusional, self destructive mission to right wrongs, and doesn't recognize the damage he does to himself and those around him. Great performance by Martin Freeman.

Not very interesting

I think that Martin Freeman's performance is wonderful, but the story isn't very interesting really.
