Donald Glover just gets it. The dude is literally a master of entertainment and a visionary with an undeniable reverence for film-making. A true savant of the arts, if you will. He continuously draws the viewer into what feels like an all-immersive experience however frightening or foreign that environment may feel. "Swarm" was every bit as terrifying as its predecessors in the landscape of high-brow violent psychological thrillers like "American Psycho" or "Fatal Attraction " The lead actor, Dominique Fishback, is so intriguing I didn't want her characters journey to end. I gave it 10/10 stars just to help offset some of the unfair and hater-esque reviews. The show was a blast from beginning to end if you're the type of viewer that respects a show that can conjure so many emotions and elements of film-making all in one experience from gore to comedy to drama to thriller. Just be prepared because the imagery is extremely graphic but necessary and it's all done in good taste.

I know the world and America has had this overwhelming obsession with DiCaprio and Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling and Matt Damon or whatever the next absurdly good-looking white guy actor is. But in my opinion those guys could never be a Robert DeNiro or a Daniel Day-Lewis cus sometimes you just can't get over how attractive they are. This goes out the window with Pedro's performances and roles. He had one of the faces where he could play anything and I'm down for it. Guy is a force and the writers and directors of this show are doing the cast great justice. Bella is amazing too. What a young talent!

Love it so far and I haven't seen the movies or read the book yet! Great writing and pacing and VERY suspenseful! Grace Gummer and Nick Stahl are two of the most underrated and convincing actors in the game and the rest of the cast truly knocks it out of the park. Really great blend of horror and violence with not too corny or over the top VFX either, especially considering the subject matter. The plot is great and original and pulls from that highly respected Stephen King realm of adolescent life meets horror genre storytelling. Stoked for new episodes every week! Showtime is killing it with this and "Yellowjackets" and the "Dexter" reboot all in the last year!
