Fishback rarely plays into the laughs the character’s absurd psychosis generates. She’s a frightening, wounded core around which the show’s snarling satire of media madness swirls.

Swarm is an incredibly bizarre series that’s definitely going to split opinion, and it’s easy to imagine a lot of people failing to make it to the end. That being said, if you can get on the same wavelength of such a strikingly unique, relentlessly eccentric, oftentimes emotionally manipulative, and relentlessly singular approach, then cult favorite status surely beckons.

"Swarm" plays with form the way "Atlanta" was able to completely switch styles from one episode to the next, and it finds freedom in its narrative looseness. If only it had more going on underneath its hood. ... But at least with Fishback in the driver's seat, the ride is never dull.

We watch, we cringe, we can't relate, and in the end it is not just meaningless but a bloody bore. Dominique Fishback, brilliant but ultimately wasted. ... The attempt by the show's creators to find some unexplored middle ground between wry comedy and outright horror is seldom successful, nor is their haphazard navigation between reality and dreams.
