This show sucks. The protagonist is an awful POS. I’m all for a “bad guy” protagonist, but come on. Further, the timeline is confusing and all over the place. So sick of hearing about Nija, or whatever her name is. Everyone trying to be Jordan Peele these day …

The series sets out to be a commentary on celebrity worship, but ends not saying much at all. Just another show about a psychopath. Weird how there are so many shows with psychopath protagonists these days.

It was hard to watch sometimes, but only because of the unsettling good direction and incredible acting from Dominique Fishback. The lighting a sound choices provided a sense of eeriness while the easter eggs and references made it all feel too real.
