“The D’Amelio Show,” a Hulu series starring the most famous family on TikTok, “manages, perhaps surprisingly, to serve as a pretty good P.S.A. for the toll that social media’s panopticon-like effects take on its participants,” frynaomifry writes.
It’s morning in Los Angeles, and the TikTok superstar Charli D’Amelio is still in bed. A television producer knocks on her bedroom door and enters to find Charli burrowed under the covers, an army of pastel-colored plush toys standing sentry around her. Though she has barely cracked open her eyes, she does not seem perturbed to find herself thus awoken by a camera crew.
This is the rich history that “The D’Amelio Show” has inherited. The eight-part Hulu series, which premièred a few months after the end of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” has seemingly positioned itself as a successor to that reality giant, although the show is tailored to a Gen Z audience.
The show does its share to promote this teen-dream fiction. In one episode, Dixie plans a romantic date for herself and her boyfriend, the TikTok creator Noah Beck, a gentle, square-jawed dreamboat who seems plucked straight from the pages of Lisa Simpson’s. In what feels like a staged montage, the two youths arrive at the beach, where they play like puppies in the surf and cuddle in a linen tent complete with a cheese plate that was surely arranged by a production assistant.
