Swarm: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

Twitter stan culture and the last decade of tabloid gossip about Black women—exploited as both victims and perpetrators of crime—are chewed up and stylishly spit back out in this thriller series. Dominique Fishback is a jaw-dropping chameleon of a lead performer.

"I wish I could be as confidently effusive about Swarm as I am about its star."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"This blood-soaked satire is only fitfully successful."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"Seeing a Black woman in a role where there is such a sharp descent into madness was beautiful."

AutostraddleAutostraddle

"Dominique Fishback deserves all of the recognition (and complementary therapy sessions) for her frightening portrayal of Dre."

Black Girl NerdsBlack Girl Nerds

"That Swarm is only intermittently successful doesn’t make it any easier to look away from the screen."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Because the show relies so heavily on its lead, Swarm is, above all things, a spectacular showcase for Fishback."

VarietyVariety

"Cold and dull."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"There are fascinating, even thrilling, aspects of Swarm, first and foremost a fantastic lead performance by Dominique Fishback. But the show never quite hangs together..."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"We watch, we cringe, we can’t relate, and in the end it is not just meaningless but a bloody bore."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"As a showcase for Fishback, Swarm is ideal... But in its psychological underpinnings, the show conflates identity with pathology in some truly facile, potentially destructive ways."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"Fishback’s performance is so good that the concept acquires a vertiginous dread..."

The AgeThe Age

"The series' satire is all the more heartbreaking and compulsively watchable because of Fishback's dedication to every facet of Dre."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"(Fishback) can keep you riveted without uttering a word."

CNNCNN

"A showcase for Dominique Fishback's versatility."

SalonSalon

"The show is definitely stylishly shot, but much of that would be empty without Fishback’s performance."

DeciderDecider

"A spikey admonishment of celebrity worship."

NPRNPR

"Mainly, Swarm should be watched to see Fishback in action..."
