      Yes, but at the same time, I find it strange nobody ever raises or criticises the negative comments Donald Glover made about black women. It's so disappointing that he's such a self-hating black person and the black community praises and backs him with no critique, it's very toxic and devalues black women with our collective endorsement.

    I saw the Marissa/Ni’jah face mashup as confirmation that Dre was in love with Marissa all along and that Ni’jah was just a coping mechanism for it. With internalized homophobia and all the other trauma she experienced she had no way of comprehending or healthily dealing with her feelings which is why we she was watching Marissa and Khalid during *THAT* scene. Also, even before Dre gets in a relationship with Rashida we get hints at her sexuality with the mom’s comments in episode 6, her ambivalence to men and her telling Billie about how she was called a homophobic slur as a kid

No where else in the show do they mention marissa dealing with mental health issues. When Dominique finds the phone and starts using it to text herself, we realize then that she has the potential to actually believe it was Marissa who is texting her. Lastly alot of the scenes like the last one show us the narrator dom isn’t a reliable one, we know she see the world differently than what is actually happening.

  • @divinebitalo1228
    @divinebitalo1228 Pƙed rokem +257

    I feel like this was quite straightforward though.
    It’s definitely a character study and we get into her psyche and how it started to fall apart.
    Episode 6 tells us the ending for sure, she rushed on stage and was arrested and detective Greene is on her way to her.
    Episode 7 is showing us how detective Greene found out about her.
    Her obsession with Ni’ja is an extension of her yearning for Marissa: that’s the last strongest thread she has to her sister.
    Everything we see from when she rushes the stage is all in her head. The walk out and into the car is probably when she got arrested: her idol probably freaked out and rejected her and in search for nurturing and reassurance she pictured the only person who understood and loved her: Marissa.
    We did get some background: she killed someone at her grandma’s, red milk= blood.
    I think the reason we didn’t get the background is commentary on the “sad stories” looked for with criminals.
    Social worker said it well: you need to know how she’s broken so you feel better about yourself.

    The scene where she watches Marissa and her boyfriend is so important! She has a strong bond with Marrissa, who is her everything. She stabbed that girl at Marissa's birthday party just like she murdered Marissa's boyfriend. Her attachment is so anxious and dysfunctional that she indulges in violence to soothe her overwhelming feelings just like she indulges in food. It's like a self harming behavior that provides a hit of adrenaline and distracts her from all the horrible feelings of losing Marrissa. She was losing her to other people and then lost her permanently, possibly by murdering her.
    The ultimate dream at the end of the series is being accepted by Marissa, welcomed into a loving and personal relationship. Ni'jah was someone for her to attach to when attaching too directly to Marrissa could damage their friendship or after she died when there was no one to attach to at all so her obsession grows to new heights.
    Dre's sexuality plays a role here but it's clear that the Ni'jah/Marissa duality is not just a love interest or sister, but also a motherly figure and a God.
    The detective episode was an amazing breakdown of what Dre lacked growing up and if the viewer takes issue with her behavior, they should be there for foster children who never learn how to manage their emotions in a stable environment. It's heavily implied that Dre is not inherently like this but has suffered and suffered without recovery or stability.

    So here’s my 2 cents.
    The detective at the end of episode 6 states that Tony had been arrested for something unrelated to murder. I interpreted that as getting arrested at the concert.
    So episode 7, to me, was true up until Ni’jah’s face was was revealed to be Marissa. The security came on stage & Tony got arrested and was imaging that as a coping mechanism.
    Also, I think Ni’jah’s face was Marissa to symbolize that Dre really did kill Marissa. In the last episode, Tony kills Rashida after she received the concert tickets. Rashida (rightfully so) went off on Tony, specifically calling Tony selfish for buying those tickets when they could barely afford rent. Tony cried while choking her saying “I loved you, and I wanted to share her with you because I love you.” This is me was added to parallel the final moments between Marissa and Dre. Dre also bought concert tickets for Marissa, Marissa called Dre selfish, then Dre snapped and killed Marissa. Which put Dre into a psychosis, and conflated their love of Ni’jah with their love for their sister. Dre started with a killing of love, and ended with a killing of love.
    BUT I WANNA HEAR WHAT OTHER FOLKS THINK TOOOOO

    This is a just a theory, but I think each identity that Dre takes on in each episode is a person from her past. Each personality is SO different, perhaps it’s her way of unpacking her trauma with each home she was a part of in foster care, by taking on a person she became attached to as she spent that time with them; Marissa being the one she loved the most. Think about it
 she takes Marissa’s phone, texts herself pretending to be Marissa. Why wouldn’t she do that with other people she grew attached to in other foster placements?
    I have a hard time believing she killed all those people for real, because as you said they don’t ever catch her, but I do think Marissa really unalived herself and I would like to think that after the first episode when Dre has a mental breakdown she seeks therapy and unpacks everything with a councilor, relaying her fantasies of killing those who disappointed her from her past one after the other.

    Episode 6 really did a good job helping to explain the show up to that point and we got to see that it wasn't all a dream. It also reminded me a little bit of "The Fall Line", a Podcast that started out about missing twin girls in the Atlanta area. The Fall Line is about people who fall on the other side of the line and are ignored by the police, just like "Falling through the cracks" but about victims instead of the killer,
    Anyway...
    EP 6 also shows us that Dre was arrested after going on stage, so we can use that info to fully digest Ep 7. Most likely it was all true up to the point where she goes on stage.

    this show was interesting to see as someone who was on stan twitter for 10+ years - seeing people get doxxed, mass harrassment, being extremely defensive. whew
    episode 6 was confusing at first bc they were alluding directly to the beyhive not ni’jah and used different faces. it tied together in the outro of donald glover’s interview about the show.
    basically episode 6 is the “reality” of andrea greene. it’s meant to discuss the glamorization of true crime (that scene where the social worker dragged them). the documentary closes with “real” dre running on stage at the concert in atlanta then being arrested. the inclusion of the news clippings tells us that the story we’re watching is actually the dramatized version by donald glover. what we’ve watched is television so we don’t know what to believe.
    the ending of episode 7 is dre’s imagination of ni’jah embracing her and her idolization of both ni’jah and marissa morphing.
    i do think the scene of rashida and dre mirror what happened with marissa.
    when marissa texted her about festival, it used blue bubbles instead of grey. when she finds marissa’s body, her phone is on the charger.
    i have a lot more to say - i agree that it’s one for a rewatch. overall, a great show and i think it’s one that’s helpful with media literacy. some people really thought that andrea greene was a real person lol.

since episode 6 reveals that the other episodes are dramatizations, did they really just frame Dre in some of these situations for the sake of scandal?

    I may sound crazy, but I kinda think Dre's love for Marissa got conflated with her obsession for Ni'jah. Her first kill was literally the dude that cheated on Marissa, which contributed to here su*cide. In episode 7, when she saw Ni'jah's face, she could only see Marissa. So maybe in a convoluted way, while she was m*rdering people who didn't like Ni'jah, at its core she was killing for Marissa. I'm probably totally wrong tho lol

    Na’Jah is connected to her sister. While she is obsessive of course with the singer, she’s really attacking people that disrespect her sister through personalizing Na’Jah to her sister since the singer is kind of their entire relationship ever since they were kids. She’s really grieving. HORRIBLY but the ending makes it obvious. I read somewhere that she sees her sister’s potential success as a make up artist to Na’Jah, like what she could’ve been so when she sees the singer in the end it’s like meeting Na’Jah is fulfilling her sister and her’s dreams when she was alive.

It seemed Dre was genuinely afraid for her and would kiss it to let her know she loved her.
      Think about it also bc old dude was ashamed to go to the funeral. He knew that he was the reason she killed herself. Why would Dre kill Marissa for coming back after he cheated on her? She would’ve been happy.
      Also, the messages were coming in at a time where Dre was hooking up with someone and Marissa was seen in the videos saying all that “she’s our sister. She’s a goddess. She’s our mother” shit so the text messages before she killed herself were very much HER.

What we see is like different aspects taken from the other murders committed and being brought down to her murdering Marissa, but really only doing so in the mind. Kinda like a “it felt like I was the one who caused her death because I didn’t protect her properly type thing” and she’s trying to find every reason to avenge and do right by her.

    Let’s talk. In all honesty as someone who grew up watching true crime, bones, criminal minds, first 48 etc. I also spent grew up watching serial killers and learning about them. Not even as admirers but because it’s intriguing to see how other people react and why they kill. So with that background along with me overall love for black power and progession in media this was so refreshing. We don’t like Dre per say which is good I think us not knowing her “sob story” and from what we know she’s just a weird girl. It doesn’t allow us to feel bad for her per day we’re intrigued and stunned most times. Like we’re not meant to understand that part of her. But then you have the black writers room showing out but continuously showing things that only we (black people) understand about black people. The bonnet, not just the junk food but the type of junk food, our weird relationship with food, her hair and outfits changing and evolving and her character gains confidence. The way she gained confidence is off as h*ll but they way she chose to show herself being more confident is so on brand for the black community. How we carry ourselves is so major that she knew she had to pick that up as she racked up the bodies because her looking how she did in the beginning is off and odd. She would stick out like a sore thumb. Her flashiness aloud her to blend in, which is so black. I think people who don’t like are seeing this like a black show instead of seeing it as a show
 witch black people. It was so well written, Dominique and everyone is so talented. Like WOW, the acting reminded me a lot of white lotus acting where we have to see to understand and the dialogue itself is less important in a lot of the scenes. Like Dre is a serial killer so we see her doing things that they do, observing, listening, adapting. But she’s always a true black serial killer so it’s so authentic I knew this was fiction but still looked it up a few times just in case. Idk it was so authentically blackity black black but the storyline isn’t the regular black story we’re used to when we see ourselves being represented. That was fresh to me

    I believe that Dre was not killing for Ni'jah, but killing for Marissa instead. Since the two of them were people that Dre obsessed over - more so with Ni'jah - Dre's perception of them 'blended together' when Marissa died. Anytime Dre reads a hateful tweet about Ni'jah, she doesn't see Ni'jah's name, she sees Marissa's. Ni'jah was just a vessel for Dre's obsession, and she became Marissa.

    I think Dre sees Marissa as Ni’Jah in the end because Dre’s love for Ni’Jah originates in the deep bonding she shared with Marissa while being fangirls. Nobody loved Ni’Jah as much as her. Dre’s perception on the singer is based off Marissa’s own words (like in the video after the concert in which Marissa say’s there’s no greater artist than Ni’Jah). The way The Hive worships Ni’Jah’s perfection, Dre worships Marissa and those things Marissa loves purely. Anyone insults Ni’Jah, they insult Marissa and therefore deserve death, according to Dre.

    I really loved the social worker's speech in episode 6, I think it was a really important moment in the show. It spoke profoundly about society and the way we try to compartmentalize people who succumb to the pressures that are exuded on all of us. The idea of the "simple explanation" was completely rejected by the worker because it demonstrates the denial that people carry. The denial of the culpability of our society. It's a coping mechanism that people are unwilling to see past because it would shatter their worldview and jeopardize their illusion of safety and peace. The people that Dre is a representation or exaggeration of are products of our time. We are influenced and shaped by our environment. Dre wasn't just traumatized in one way, she wasn't just an outlier in an otherwise passable system. Dre represents how our world systemically breaks people and she is a dramatic (or even realistic) representation of how we, as a society, fail.
    I absolutely loved the show and I loved the way it was done. I think too much exposition and explanation in television and film takes away from the audience. Leaving room to extrapolate and explore allows art to mold itself to new situations and ideas. When something is defined too rigidly it is digested, understood, then forgotten. The things that stick are the things that leave us wondering. Symbolism is one of the most beautiful tools in art when used the way Swarm did. I think this show was a masterclass on the potentials film/television has as an artistic medium.

That also contributes to why she's never caught and easily goes wherever she wants? Dre is unreliable and a follower which is why it was so hard to figure her out. honestly, I might come back to this because even I didn't digest this.

    I loved and quite related to the show and Dre as a character, more for her trust issues and reluctance/inability to connect with others.The title of episode 7 "Only God Makes Happy Endings" is meant to be quite literal in this case. Dre/Tony was arrested after they ran onto the stage as we saw in episode 6 and the case worker shutting down the investigation and refusing to help them commodifing a lonely child's trauma was meant to be the true ending of the series. Given the risks and money put into the show I doubt Amazon would allow them to end it in such a blunt way. What we saw at the end of episode 7 was Dre/Tony being an unreliable narrator once again, deluding their self with a dream like and elaborate story about Naijah sweeping them away and comforting them like the perfect Queen Dre/Tony sees her as, being the only "happy ending" for Dre/Tony at this point. Echoing how they lied about meeting Naijah's Mother in that mall with Erica a few episodes prior, and spilling the milk when she tried to kill the cheerleader at the slumber party, to continue to run away and cope with the atrocities they've committed; the reality Dre/Tony is in.
    As a CIS Male it may not really be my place to validate or invalidate if Dre had gender dysphoria but, I feel that Tony is just another mask for Dre another lie they're telling themselves given how often Dre changed names and identities at that point. I wont deny the gender and gender expectation commentary that is very much implied since presenting as a masculine gender as Tony was the closest they came to finding the love, acceptance and normalcy they've been chasing this whole time. Rejecting and sacrificing their femininity to "man up and deal with it" in the way most men have to deal with loneliness until Rashida reaches out with a tampon to helps Dre begin to reconnect with not only her femininity but her humanity when Dre has her period at her house. I would love to hear a non binary persons take on Dre and Tony.

    Loved your take on this show and explanation as well. I agree, the reaction to Chloe's first scene was just absurd. The general "love scene" discourse on twitter these days seems to often come from a place of either judgment or discomfort. I think people spend too much time projecting their own morals onto fiction nowadays, treating it too literal or personal or being too quick to judge/dismiss what they can't relate to or understand. But I don't think social media is always the best place for nuanced discussions.
    Anyway, Chloë did amazing in her role as Marissa, I wish there was more discussion about that than a brief explicit scene. Dominique and Billie killed their roles, too! Such complex and interesting characters. I was blown away, Swarm was my first introduction to Dominique's acting, and she absolutely deserves praise for portraying Dre, her layers, emotions and trauma. I really enjoy some shows that *make* you think, even if it can be confusing the first time around. It'd be fun to see Billie Eilish more in more horror/thriller roles. From her past music videos to her portrayal of Eva, she definitely fits that genre well.

Like with Jeff Dahmer they notce his apartment filled with junk food... specifically chocolate so much so that he worked at the chocolate factory. Also with Ramerez The Night Stalker... After he killed his victims he would eat everything out of their fridge when he was done. Him and Dahmer would literally sleep with food in or around their bed. The Night Stalker had really bad B.O that the officers didn't even want to arrest him because the smell made them physically sick.

Black women are disproportionately put in the criminal justice system. Now if they caught the wrong black women and arrested her that would make sense 😭

    So during the Billie scene Eva asks when was the first time Dre heard Na’jiah and Dre talks about being home with her grandma. Dre says something like “I spilled the milk” and Eva replies “what color was the milk” anf Dre replies “red”. This implies that the first time Dre heard Ni’jiah was when she killed her grandma. So at the start of the show we are left to assume that Dre killed Marissa, and we know that Marissa and Dre bonded heavily through Ni’Jiah. And that’s why she’s so ambitious about killing Ni’jiah haters because Dre feels they’re also insulting Marissa. That final scene was all one huge hallucination because in ep 6 the detective mentions Ni’Jiah being bit on stage and that’s what happens in the final episode. Her sister taking her to her car was actually Dre being arrested for getting on stage.

      But we don't know for sure if Dre killed her grandma, I see where you got that from. Dre's grandma said, "What did you do?", after she "spilled the milk". I mean, yeah, she could've killed her but I don't see someone asking another person what they did after they killed said person.

    I think that the representation of the serial killer was well done in this show because she’s not sexualized in a romantic way if that makes sense

    Honestly I think the relatioship Dre had with Rashida was exacly what Dre pictured as her relation with Marissa. So basically , the murder of Rashida was actually what went down with Marissa (Rashida storyline was just an allutination when Dre realized she murder her sister).

    This show is about how Hollywood portrays black women. Hollywood usually shows blk women as the victim, the help, the motherly type,the good friend and everyones favorite the strong independent don't need no man characters and sometimes combinations of more than one of these. This show challenges what Hollywood has been showing us versus what we see in real life. Strippers that kill men helping them with a flat tire (true story) a cult attempting to indoctrinate black women (true story, ie. Feminist) Dre is a sensationalized representation of women, blk women in particular.

    I think SWARM is one of those shows that are meant to have a season two before even filming season one. That being said, season two needs to be confirmed! Season two will bring everything together and after watching, i feel like people will go back to watching season one to two, which will make the creators of this show the most talked about creators in black hollywood.

      Nevermind! Season two is not happening and that's upsetting! But then again the true crime story of the real Dre is still out there and that is why we won't see more of the detective because she is still looking for her.
