Rate ShowFan since I heard the first episode of Malevolent
Harlan this show is amazing. The audio score, background noises all set the tonality I think you where trying to set. For this being a quick podcast that you created alone, this is an amazing piece of Horror Audio Drama.
A Must Listen!
This series is incredible! Loved every episode and what a climax of an ending!!! Movie worthy for sure.

Its rlly good
DOPE!! It caught my attention from the beginning and it made me think all the way to the end. The characters are written well and they have a depth that I think is shown very well through their different points of view and opinions. It poses great questions on what humanity is and when heroism and purpose turn to selfishness and obsession. I really enjoyed listening to it!!
Fantastic SciFi Horror
It was great. Amazing sound design and voice acting as always. I love scifi scenarios that deal with heavy topics and bring up such hard questions and this one does exactly that.
Absolutely amazing
This show has got to be one of the best science fi horror shows out there. It’s such a rich story with a lot of great points about what it means to be human. I binged it in a few hours and then went right back to listen to it again. It has incredible writing and the soundscaping is out of this world.
One heck of a fantastic tale.
This was a trip and a half.
Now, do pay attention to the content warnings; this is legit horror, and it gets dark. It is also very, VERY good.
This is the kind of story that hurls your emotions like a bola. You think you know who to root for? Better not blink. You think you know what's going on? Not with *that* cameo! (Episode 3 for jaw-drop of the year.)
Every episode is intriguing and thought-provoking, and the ending made me want to scream.
It's definitely worth a re-listen, as well, to pick up on all the clues leading to one heck of a finale.
In sum: solid. Super fun. Very dark. Content warnings apply. Put armor on your heart, and dive right in.
A Horrific Rollercoaster in All the Best Ways
I honestly did not have any preconceived notions about what to expect out of Deviser except "Oh, the protagonist's in space!" When I tell you I was smacked over the head by an anvil of phenomenal storytelling, masterfully-crafted red-herrings, jaw-dropping soundscaping, and incredible performances, I mean it. I cannot believe nearly three hours passed! The worlds that Harlan creates are extremely immersive and terror-filled in all the ways a horror-lover desires! My friends and I were attempting to deduce all the biblical references, I was researching songs and fables, another friend found the excerpt from Frankenstein. We were hanging on every word. This show deserves all the hype and praise it has earned and then some. Now, excuse me while I go re-listen; I definitely missed a few lines over my screaming.
Harlan did it again
This show explored so many fascinating ideas and it left me totally hooked right up to the very end. Very impressive. It's the sort of show that'll make you sit and reflect for awhile.
This is yet another masterpiece by the diabolical One-Man-Show that's Harlan Guthrie and I was living for every second of it! The audioscaping and voice acting were amazing, and Henry also did so well! The theme is something so alive and it's so easy to sink my teeth into.
If you like horror, scifi, gore, violence, bingeable series, Harlan Guthrie & questions about humanity and artificial intelligence, this is THE show for you. You will not be able to stop thinking about this show, I promise!

Great
Wow, the show itself is outstanding. But what I find myself really obsessing over is the COMMUNITY! I’ve spent the last hours since this released POURING over fan theories, assessments, literary references and in some cases full essays. There’s even a book club dedicated to going over all the stories referenced in the show!
I don’t have the mind for literary analysis- but being able to read the thoughts, and even develop some of my own have really made this story memorable.
It’s scary, it’s gross, but at its heart it’s human. I have no doubt that new theories and analyses will continue to be made!
Listening again (and maybe again!)
Deviser is truly something special, few pieces of media have made me bolt to the edge of my seat as hard as this one! I love a good horror podcast, and the creative dark reality of this sci-fi horror chilled me to the core at times. I WILL be re-listening, and recommending it to all my friends because it IS that good. Listen to it!

Deviser is an absolutely phenomenal sci-fi horror audio drama. The voice acting, soundscaping, writing, premise, pacing, payoff... everything about this is top-tier. It got my theorist brain running wild and even when I thought I had a hold on it, I never knew exactly what to expect next. An absolutely wild ride that I would easily listen to another dozen times and still find something new every time.

Great!
This is a great show- at 7 episodes it plays like a movie.
I highly recommend listening in one go, lights off, for the best vibes!
Scary and gross on the surface, but very good questions on humanity at its core.
Loved this show!
