After the brilliant episode 3, we are seeing a drop in tension here. The episode, more classically emotional than the rest of the series, is punctuated by Instagram videos of the missing Olivia. It's both a bit melodramatic and aesthetically rather poor. Fortunately, John Sugar saves the episode from depression by countering Melanie, who started with the sadness and ugliness of the world and all the miserabilist stuff, by listing some of the beauties of this world. He will have had less success trying to share with his doctor the genius of John Carpenter's The Thing... Colin Farrell is so excellent in all these scenes, subtly printing these emotions on his face... Magnificent.
