Last Known Position

Gina Rodriguez stars as Mikaela Soto, a submersible pilot who joins an expedition to find a vanished flight over the Pacific Ocean. A grieving billionaire is funding the whole thing, which should be the first red flag. What starts as a recovery mission quickly reveals hidden dangers, sabotage, and threats in the deep water that nobody signed up for. Lucas Passmore wrote the series and John Wynn directed it, keeping the tension high across 8 main episodes. James Purefoy co-stars, and the dynamic between his character and Rodriguez's Mikaela adds a layer of interpersonal conflict on top of the already dangerous situation. The underwater setting is used to great effect -- there is something inherently terrifying about being trapped in a small submersible when things go wrong. With a 4.2-star rating from nearly 2,000 reviews, listeners appreciated the concise storytelling. One reviewer nailed it: "Short and exciting -- didn't draw it out for 6 unnecessary seasons." That brevity is genuinely refreshing. Some criticism focused on character development gaps and mid-roll ad placement disrupting tense moments, but the overall pace and plotting kept most listeners engaged through to the end.
