Synopsis
Swarm (2023) is the pitch-black satirical series you can watch online on iFILM. Donald Glover and Janine Nabers built a story about fan obsession that plays like dark comedy right up until it curdles into a road movie about a serial killer. Dominique Fishback stars as Dre, a quiet young woman whose devotion to a pop star named Ni'Jah crossed the line long ago.
After a personal loss knocks away her last anchor, Dre drives across America, leaving bodies behind whenever someone dares to badmouth her idol. The seven episodes unfold as a chain of short, increasingly unsettling stops along her road. Look out for Paris Jackson, Chloe Bailey and Billie Eilish, the last of whom turns up in a surprisingly sharp dramatic role.
The show takes cruel aim at online stan culture and at how loneliness goes looking for something to worship. Fishback carries nearly every scene by herself, and her performance is the main reason to press play. It's for viewers who like their stories prickly and refuse a tidy moral at the end. Stream all episodes of Swarm online on iFILM.
