This is an extremely stylish satire on stan culture, drawing obvious inspiration from Beyoncé and the Bey Hive, hence the title, Swarm.
The cast is phenomenal and delivers on great acting. Dominique Fishback as Dre is extremely captivating and was a phenomenal casting choice. Special shout-out to Billie Eilish. Who knew she could act so well!?
Swarm follows the story of Dre, a girl who loses her sister and gradually finds her love for murder. She loses her only place of belonging in her sister and starts latching even harder onto Nijah, the Beyoncé figure in this story. In a way, Dre's overprotectiveness over Nijah is an extension of her guilt over not being able to save her sister. Nijah becomes her substitute for family and belonging that results in Dre becoming increasingly engrossed within the swarm.
This is a truly unique take on the slasher genre. Dre's descent into madness is unsettling. My one complaint about this show is that Dre is so unusual that it's hard to believe that this could ever be a real person. She is very detached from humanity, which adds to the style of the show.
