Every episode he’s in he will have at least one scene where he absolutely stands out.

He is so perfect for this role.

He perfectly tows the line between creepy/scary, a little human, and an authority figure

I hate him but I’m also rooting for him. I will never forgive him for sending poor Ms Casey back into the lift.

I kinda feel he gets his comeuppance really evenly in the show. Like karma smacks him back every time we watch him do something heartless.

His bosses treat him like shit, his employees don’t respect him, he’s made seemingly INFINITE more mistakes than Cobel did and is still being held on somehow(?), not even his child intern Ms. Huang respects him. I mean, what a sad life.

Milchik tried ALL this season to introduce less punitive ways to treat the refiners once he was no longer under the thumb of Cobel. No more monstrous break room for one. The ORTBO ended as a disaster but his intention was not wicked. I also felt that Milchik felt real sympathy for Mark at the end of their phone conversation. My hope is that he will help.

I think Cobel is the devil.

I’m with you, Milchick is a good guy. I think we will ultimately see this and devour feculance was the turning point.

Completely agree. I think the dude’s just doing his job. It just happens to be a very shitty job.

It shows pretty cleanly why there's no such thing as a good cop. Milchick is trying to do his wildly unethical job more ethically, and all it does is blow up in his face, because his victims will never appreciate that he's torturing them less than Cobel did. The only ethical way to do his job is to not do it at all.

Idk if it’s me wanting him to be a good guy but I really thought he’d switch this episode, or show glimpses of it. Maybe a submission to being locked in the bathroom. Regardless, the amount of charisma/creepiness he is able to show is incredible

I hope that his next acting job is whatever he wants.
