I´m extremely late to the party, I know, but it took me a while to get in to Earth Break. But having just binged the entire show in one sitting, the world seems somehow changed now. Jenny Slates performance is quite simply OUTSTANDING! I have never heard acting so intense, so personal, so painful and convincing, she really IS the show. She makes every line sound so natural, and the sound design complements her in a clever way, although in my opinion it could be more subtle and still tell the story in a powerful way. The story itself is nothing new, and really is just a background to highligt Jennys way of coping with and surviving loneliness and the sudden loss of normality

This is a fantastic production. I am usually not a fan of a single actor narrative where the character speaks into a recording device, but this was so well done that it is now one of my favorite audio dramas. The script, acting, sound effects, and ambiance are on point. It is written in a way that it feels like it is a larger cast. The character going on an amazing journey. It was a joy to listen to. The only negative is that there are only six episodes.

A show that outstays its welcome and stretches its premise too thin. Earth Break has a great concept - pregnant woman surviving an alien invasion - but there are too many flaws to enjoy the positive elements. For a start, the voice recording angle is an overdone trope that doesn't make a great deal of sense. Or, it does but isn't handled well enough. It is an unfortunate necessity of audio drama involving solo characters but it is clumsily handled. It is made worse by Jenny Slate's screeching and wailing voice and melodramatic delivery of dialogue, which made me despise her by the end. We never really get a true insight into the invasion or the world left behind. The setting feels like a barren landscape and the apocalypse too sudden an event. Discoveries of other survivors (in person or by radio, for example), posters of missing people, shrines to the dead, newspapers drifting in the streets telling of mysterious events and such like would have added depth to the mythology. It's hard to recommend Earth Slate knowing that my feelings at the end were totally opposite to the hype I felt at the start.
