I'm on episode 4 now. This is very bingeable, but it's what I would say is like watching a trainwreck- because the lead character is so devoid of emotion, so bad.
At the start, I thought she was going to be a dork that you sympathize with who takes her lovable and loving obsession too far, but she's still a sweet person. But, there is nothing lovable about this girl. So, this show is really a guilty pleasure, because I feel guilty watching anyone treat others like she treats them, but I keep watching, wondering what will happen next.
If you love celebrity pop culture, you will be interested in this. It's like Scream, except that in this one, the killer is known right away, and the catchphrase "What's you're favorite scary movie?" is changed to "Who's your favorite artist?" instead.
This probably deserves more than just 3 stars, cause goodness knows I'm hooked to it right now, but it is a little too graphic for my taste, and needlessly grotesque, like most things these days. Oh if we could only go back to appreciating the power of suggestion again! Plus, I didn't expect this to become so sinister so fast. So yes, it's the very definition of guilty pleasure. Hence, it feels wrong to say I "like it" but for what it is, it's very good.
And as evil as the lead character seems, I would say she has positioned herself as a sort of suicide bomber for her goddess, the pop star- the same way that people kill in the name of God. The only difference is, this woman isn't killing herself along with her victims. It remains to be seen whether the series will end with her death, Will she become a martyr for her goddess as well? I guess I'll find out.
Also, the show features a character (played by Michael Jackson's daughter Paris) who named herself after pop-star Halsey, and Halsey herself will be seen in the upcoming neo-western thriller "Americana" playing someone baring a striking resemblance to my baby Joan Jett. It was actually in an article about that wherein I read about this show and decided to seek it out. This show also features Billie Ellish (another star who reminds of my girl in a lot of ways). So, totally worth seeing for pop music fans and fans of youth culture, pop culture, young Hollywood and the like.
Sidenote: This seems to be a dark fantasy about Beyonce and her fans.
