El enjambre: Obsesión asesina

I'm on the old side (50s) and not the target market, but I have to say that I'm really enjoying this series. Basically, it's about an obsessed fan and her murderous journey as a superfan of the Beyonce-inspired pop figure Ni'Jah.

As others have noted, it is slow, but I'm enjoying the buildup and character revelations. Unfortunately, it's probably too slow for a younger audience, but oldies like me grew up with slow so I've got no problem with it. For a series, it's filmed, edited and scripted in a very cinematic way. I do love all the oversatured colors and the monotonous, grinding soundtrack. Paris Jackson shows off her screen presence and great comic timing in a small role.

What I like is that the main character, played by Dominique Fishback, comes across as an actual person, living an ordinary life punctuated by flashes of mayhem and murder. She's not all that sympathetic, but almost like a lost soul whose obsession with food and her idol are the driving forces in her life. Dominique plays her as a blank canvas who slips on various personalities, depending on the situation. She incredibly talented in this role, because you can see the psychopath within at every turn and that's not an easy thing to achieve.

I'm not sure where it's going and that's what keeps me watching.

I am really enjoying this series. It really is doing something fresh, about obsessive fans, especially the super fan; it may sound like its about Beyoncé-but it could be about anyone who has a following.

As others have noted, it is slow, but the build-up and character revelation is stunning.

I was impressed with Paris Jackson and Billie Eilish were a welcomed addition to the story line - good casting choices.

What I like the most is that the main character, played by Dominique Fishback - she is brilliant, just super brilliant. She comes across as a real, life punctuated by flashes of mayhem and murder. She's different from other roles played by Black women - so proud and pleased. Her authentic lost soul and obsession with food and her idol are the driving forces of this show. Dominique plays her personality disorder so brilliantly that it is chilling. She is incredibly talented in this role, because you can see the psychopath within at every turn and that's not an easy thing to achieve.

I'm not sure where it's going and that's what keeps me watching. I want more shows like this with Black people taking the lead role.

Nabers and Glover's artful and granular slasher/stalker series arrived with a tonne of weight and expectation around it but it ended up feeling a little unfinished. I was mainly here for the fantastic Fishback, who is brilliantly droll as the murderous and delusional Dre. I hope this proves to be her springboard to mega stardom. Swarm is strongest when it uses Dre to skewer contemporary pretences and conversations, and weakest when it lurches into step with dull serial killer tropes. There are some fantastic performances beyond Fishback, including a surprisingly engrossing turn from Billie Eilish of all people. A diverting experiment but outside of some memorable moments it doesn't really coalesce into anything that feels meaningful.

I'm from Greece, not really into the music genre nor style/nuances the main character is immersed in, but, this was so well done!

I appreciated the soundtrack, scenery/cinematography and every detail portrayed (so good!).

This felt like a train wreck that you couldn't look away from, I was quite hooked.

I did think some parts were a bit slow and I actually wasn't much of a fan of the episode Eilish was in, but, overall, it's really good and I'm really into it.

Watching the last episode tonight, let's see how it goes down.

An incredible performance in the lead role, some very interesting events, and a lot of originality.

This willingness to take risks gives us the best, but also the worst of Swarm, as it can be erratic in its pacing and how it presents what it has to say.

Aesthetically brilliant, the quality varies greatly from episode to episode (the cult one is brilliant), but above all, it is something we always want to see through to the end. I would also liked a bit more of character development in some supporting roles. The lack of plausibility of so many events in different episodes makes me evaluate the final product positively, but with some reservations.
