This is a strange, horror series about a toxic super-stan of an R&B pop star who goes to extreme, vicious lengths to defend her idol and punish those who diss her on the internet. I was very interested in this premise, as the subject matter of internet trolling, and social media and celebrity culture going into dark places, and the people behind the toxicity are always things that deeply fascinate me.
Every episode has a completely different feel to it, but Dominique Fishback manages to blend in each and every one of them with with the same weird, shy and psychotic vibe to her character. There is a cult-like episode starring Billie Eilish, another that features strippers and murder akin to Zola, a documentary-style one that features a detective who pieces together all of Dre's crimes and several episodes featuring personal relationships that end in tragedy.
SPOILER
With a number of dead bodies and witnesses that Dre has left behind, plus a detective hot on her heels, I really hoped Dre would get her comeuppance. But instead, the final sequence is left completely ambiguous, with Dre imagining her late sister Marissa as her idol Ni'Jah on the stage.
While it is entirely possible that she was indeed arrested and taken away in the end, and that she imagined what happens, just like in an earlier episode where she bit Ni'Jah in the face, I still wanted to see her pay for her crimes (Rashida was the one where I was truly fuming, as I really quite like the actress and her character).
Yes, what started all of this was the suicide of her sister in the first episode, she still brutally took the lives of so many because of an unhealthy obsessive coping mechanism.
There should have been a scene of Dre suffering the consequences for what she did. I would have really liked Detective Greene from episode six to be the one to arrest her, and reaping the rewards for it.
It was so close to being absolutely perfect, though.
