    The Harbingers Review

    Going into this series — a Tribeca official selection from 2025 — after finding it on LinkedIn, I expected something like “The Prestige” book or movie.

    “Dream Sequence” from iHeart Media, Realm, Blumhouse Television and Realm takes the concept of lucid dreaming from “Inception” and turns it into a lite psychological thriller with an antagonist along the lines of the one found in “Quiet Part Loud” from Spotify. The podcast and a number of other Realm shows also won multiple Signal…
