The premise of Listeners - people who can hear a mysterious low humming sound - might feel familiar, but this drama finds a way to make it feel fresh. Rather than focusing on the mystery of the hum itself, Listeners takes a deeper, more emotional approach, exploring how this strange phenomenon changes the lives of those who hear it.
What really works is how the story leans into the human side of the concept. It's not just about the sound; it's about what it does to people, which makes it far more engaging than you might expect.
The acting is solid, with performances that draw you in without overplaying the drama. And the sound design is just subtle enough to make the hum feel like another character in the story, ever-present and unsettling.
Listeners strikes a balance between eerie and intimate, making it more than just another mystery. It's a thought-provoking exploration of how the unexplainable can shape our lives - and well worth a watch.
