Unwanted

Two slackers decide to catch an escaped convicted murderer hiding in their town because there is a million-dollar reward, and honestly, that money is not going to earn itself. Lamorne Morris (New Girl) and Billy Magnussen (No Time to Die) play Ben and Grant, and Jamie-Lee O'Donnell rounds out the main trio as Shelly O'Keith. The premise is essentially a comedy action movie in audio form. Morris and Magnussen have great vocal chemistry -- you can hear the friendship and the mutual bad-decision-making that drives the plot forward. The comedy works because the characters take their absurd situation seriously, which makes the danger feel real even when the dialogue is making you laugh. Nine full episodes plus a trailer, running 16 to 28 minutes each, with a 4.6-star rating from nearly 1,300 reviews. It is a complete series, which means you actually get an ending -- a genuine luxury in the Qcode world. Listeners praised the writing and character chemistry, though some noted that heavy ad loads in shorter episodes could be frustrating. As a breezy, entertaining comedy thriller, Unwanted delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something deeper.
