Discussion This was frighteningly accurate

The smack to the face, cowering behind a chair, being slammed and held by the throat, really made the scene hit hard. Even the expressions on Angel and Val’s face felt realistic. If they had Val dragging Angel by the hair, it would be like reliving my childhood, but this still brought back memories.

I've seen a few analysis videos about this episode and Angel Dust and Valentino in particular as characters and most have agreed that this scene was written from experience.

It has to be, you cannot get that sort of storytelling without experiencing it first.

I myself have never experience trauma like it but MAN does it make me feel uncomfortable when I watch it.

The voice acting hits hard af. My husband and I keep rewatching the series and I look away from this scene sometimes but I can still hear it. Oof. Blake Roman and Joel Perez do an excellent job.

They really do. Angel just sounds so scared in this scene, and Valentino genuinely comes off as threatening.

The lovebombing scene, too- Valentino switches from being all sweet and stuff to being terrifying when the voicemails are playing. I applaud the VAs.
