SWARM Review Episode 01: Why It's So Terrifying!

Thank you for checking out my review. This SWARM show is a pretty raw and unfiltered kind of show. There’s a lot that happens in a little bit of time. As we’re introduced to Dre (Dominique Fishback)’’ we get to really dive into her personality. This young woman’s life priorities take a backseat to concert tickets to her favorite artist. The issue for me is that she uses the rent money. THE RENT MONEY. I know I’ve done some questionable things in my youth, and i probably would have done this too but it’s not the smartest move. Dre is a huge fan of this show’s version of Beyonce and is a member of the equivalent of the beehive lovingly referred to as The Swarm.

The Good
Dominique Fishback gives a very nuanced performance and gets to flex a lot of different emotions in a little bit of time. It’s very subtle but powerful as we watch a young woman struggle with mental health. Dre has a solid emotional dependency on her best friend, and roommate, Marissa (Chloe Bailey). I’m growing to really enjoy Dominique’s performances. Swarm is just another strong outing for the actress that we all need to keep an eye on.

The Bad
The pacing in this first episode is slow. Really really slow. but we’re watching the origin story of our protagonist. Swarm introduces Dre and overseeing her development is slow, Things absolutely reach a high point toward the end of the first episode but it’s not easy to make it there. Dominique is delivering such a subtle performance and this show is not contrasting her performance in any way. In fact, I feel like the show is also very quiet with little to no soundtrack to support what’s happening on screen
