Swarm

***Swarm*** is a hard look at toxic fandom, what obsession can lead to and a cautionary tale on fanaticism. It also has strong themes on grief. We take a road trip with Dre as she descends into madness and defends her idol at any cost. Anything goes, she will attack verbally, physically and socially to protect the hive. The series is dark, disturbing and sometimes repulsive but I couldn't help but binge it. The performances are what's so good about it, Dominique Fishback is phenomenal her character is unhinged and complex. Every episode features new interesting characters and performances. Billie Eilish was amazing and the episode she was in was my favorite. The violence is brutal and bloody, love the aspect ratio, beautiful aesthetics, cool music choices and I like the pacing every episode felt different and short. I'm not quite sure if this is really based on true events but "Queen B" is Beyoncé so Ni'Jah could be an analogy for her.

This is a weird ass well-done show. The first five episodes had me scratching my head, going what the phuck is going on? Stick with it. All will be revealed.
