Malevolent Ep17 Review
Just the sound of Arthur and the creature walking on the flesh makes me uncomfortable. I don't mean that in a spooky scary kind of way. I mean that in a, "I'm about to hurl" kind of way.
Nothing makes me laugh quite like Arthur interrupting John describing the environment around them and nothing quite puts me in uncertainty like John being terrified of the monster.
I got to take Arthur's side of the argument because I am 100% sure that John has lied to Arthur or withheld info from him.
I do see that Arthur is a lot like Rust Cohle. But he's more like if Rust kept himself before ever losing his child.
Though in a way, I see this episode as the best part of the dreamlands arc. With the symbolism, the character development, and the pacing is finally fixed. Plus, we get to see John be way more vulnerable. 8.9/10
