From Now

A lost spaceship returns to Earth after 35 years with a single survivor on board. The catch: he has not aged a day. His twin brother, meanwhile, is now an old man. Richard Madden plays the returning astronaut Edward, and Brian Cox (the Scottish actor, not the physicist) plays his aged twin Hunter. Both also executive produce the series. Rhys Wakefield and William Day Frank created and wrote the show, and the concept gives them rich material to explore. The twin dynamic is the emotional core -- imagine reuniting with your sibling after decades, except you look exactly the same and they have lived an entire life without you. That personal story plays out against a larger mystery about what happened during those 35 years in space and what it means for humanity. The production quality is top-shelf, as you would expect from Qcode, with 10 episodes running 27 to 43 minutes each. It earned a 4.4-star rating from nearly 2,500 reviews. Listeners consistently praise the voice acting and immersive audio design. Some found the ending frustratingly open, and there is no word on a second season. As a standalone sci-fi drama about time, loss, and identity, it works. Just do not go in expecting every question to get answered.
