"It’s a wonderfully staged play... the pair bounce off each other beautifully, sniping and forgiving like they have known each other a long time..." 3 stars
ALONE succeeds because it understands that the best science fiction isn't really about spaceships. It's about people.
— The Nerd Party (4 out of 5 stars)
There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a highly recommended show and realising that all its praise and all its accolades are utterly deserved.
