    Pleasantly surprised
    This show isn't perfect, but it is strange and different. What the show lacks in its story, it makes up for in its originality.

    My favorite part of the series was the cinematography, which is something I don't usually pay attention to, but I think they shot it on film because the visuals feels so warm and crackly. It looked particularly stunning in the Billie Eilish episode with the natural light, the trees, the stained glass window... What a vibe.

    Dre is such an odd, quirky character, she was a joy to watch. There definitely was some unexpected humor in her off behavior and to see a black female anti-hero was something I don't think I've seen before. And there is so much beautiful and tragic irony for Dre to idolize a Beyonce-like figure, the epitome of #blackexcellence and #blackgirlmagic, something Dre could never come close to being. I just wish that theme was sharpened and more central to the story but the show chooses to lean on the "this really happened" gimmick with all its Beyonce-related pop culture references. Because of this, I found the main character a bit flat and the story not that memorable.

    I found myself zipping through season 1 and I wasn't mad about it, but I wouldn't say this is a must-watch. Check it out if you're curious, skip it if you're not.
