Janine Nabers and Donald Glover's new seven-part show stars Fishback as a young woman whose obsession with a Beyoncé-esque pop star gets out of hand.
Cast:It’s a performance of deliriously bizarre choices anchoring a show of deliriously bizarre choices, and I wish I could be as confidently effusive aboutis audacious and provocative, and it commits fully to whatever it’s going for. But it goes after its satirical targets with a sledgehammer when just occasionally a precision tool might have been preferable.
The most remarkable thing about the show’s central performance is that Dre seems to be a slightly different person in each episode, but Fishback makes each transition feel organic. She’s able to be a dull-eyed zombie — not literally — one moment and an adroit physical comedian the next, sympathetic and relatable in one interaction and chillingly sociopathic in the next.
That obviousness can be grating. There’s great mirth in the “Tee-hee, Ni’Jah is a lot like Beyoncé!” recognition of the first episode, but the clearer the comparison becomes, the less rewarding it is. for its evisceration of toxic fandom and the performativity of online trolling.
