Swarm
I was so fucking excited when I saw that Donald Glover had another show coming out. Especially after Atlanta finishing up their last season, I was afraid it would be awhile until we got something else from him. But like always, he does not disappoint. Swarm is everything. There are so many layers to this series. With every episode there is so much intention. I found myself coming up for air after each episode. Still debating to myself if I was cheering for Dre. I found myself seeing young awkward Tesia in her. ( but not the killing and harming shit) but the misunderstanding and the impatience.
This series is about a young Black girl name Dre. Dre loves Ni’Jah. Ni’jah is the fucking queen bee, period. If you don’t agree and talk shit on her name you will pay the price. We follow how one night changes everything for Dre, how she loses the only person she has ever loved and the destruction that follows.
The cast in this series is also incredible including Chloe Bailey (Grown-ish), Billie Eilish, Damson Idris (Snowfall), Paris Jackson, Kiersey Clemons (Somebody I used to know, Fairfax), and MOTHERFUCKIN LEON! IYKYK (Cool Runnings, Waiting to Exhale), Cree Summer (A Different World) and of course Dominique Fishback (Judas and the Black Messiah, Power Project)
