Narcissa

In a near-future Los Angeles where mind readers are outlawed, Dianna Agron plays Sid, a woman who has hidden her telepathic abilities her entire life. When murders potentially committed by a mind reader start piling up, her carefully maintained cover starts to crack -- especially after she gets romantically involved with the mysterious Andie, played by Maria Sten, who may be connected to the criminal underworld. Alex O Eaton created, wrote, and directed the series, blending sci-fi, noir, and romance into something that feels genuinely fresh. The concept of telepathy as a prosecutable offense gives the whole show a civil-rights allegory undercurrent without ever becoming preachy about it. Agron and Sten have strong vocal chemistry, and the romantic tension between their characters adds an emotional dimension that keeps the show from being purely a genre exercise. Nine episodes, a 4.6-star rating from nearly 600 reviews, and a sponsorship from Dipsea audio stories that actually fits the show's sensibility. The queer romance at the center is handled with confidence and specificity rather than being treated as a novelty. Multiple listeners are vocally requesting a second season, which speaks to how effectively the first season builds its world and leaves you wanting more. Narcissa is one of the more underrated entries in the Qcode lineup.
