Janine Nabers and Donald Glover send up the Beyhive and stan culture with a subversive slasher comedy.
’s best episodes were send-ups of music-world surreality., with its contained plot and undertones of horror, has a different mood but it is just as interested in cultural commentary. Series creator Nabers wanted to counter many of the reductive stereotypes applied to Black women in film and television, so Dre doesn’t fit neatly into a category.
That Dre runs a fan account on Twitter, follows Ni’Jah’s updates on Instagram, and knows every detail about the birth of her twins isn’t the problem; it’s that she cultivates this knowledge instead of fleshing out her own life. Dre lives vicariously through the people around her or over-invests in their experiences. Nowhere is that more evident than in her relationship with her best friend, roommate, and “sister” Marissa , with whom she shares an apartment.
Though she’s naive and rash, Marissa is a fully realised person ready to step into adulthood. Dre is not. Hints are given that something has always been “off” about her behaviour, butisn’t out to diagnose its characters. Instead, Dre serves as an avatar for a particular type of fan, one so invested in their heroes they’ve absorbed some of their key traits. Like the popstars she admires, Dre sheds looks and personas when they cease to be useful.
