I know this is middle grade at best but the reoccurring abuses of police power as a mechanism for the plot rubbed me the wrong way. I don't think there's any reason to normalize it in cutesy kid fiction.

I tried, really, to dismiss it and enjoy the rest of the story and perhaps if there was just one instance of it that might have worked. Instead it riddled the whole thing.

I'm the end I had to stop. This audio drama is only 4 hours but I couldn't last.

From what I did hear the acting was pretty decent, if cartoonish. That seems to match the feel of the story though. No complaints with the production.
