Series Premiere:
Swarm
An obsessed, Houston-based fan goes to increasingly violent lengths for her favorite R&B singer.
Matt Roush says...
Dominique Fishback (The Deuce) is riveting in a surreal seven-part thriller from Atlanta’s Donald Glover and Janine Nabers about the dangers of obsessive fandom. She plays Dre, #1 member of “the Swarm,” a fan base for a fictional superstar. She’s so devoted she’ll literally take down anyone who disses Ni’Jah online or in person. Dre’s odyssey into murderous madness, reminiscent of Polanski’s Repulsion, starts slowly but takes creative risks and leaps to its startling conclusion.
