you made very valid points, especially in regards to the lack of representation of the cult following. i felt the exact same! i think donald leaves a lot of space for his audience to interpret missing pieces of the plot up to them! it takes a certain level on conciousness to understand the concepts he's trying to convey! i also feel like certain writers try and leave certain aspects out of the script to leave viewers wanting a renew of the series! If he gave us everything intially what would we want more? juss a thought ! All in all, this is a really awesome take an i the enjoyed seeing things from your perspective!
great piece!! i just finished the show and had a lot of the same thoughts. the show really felt like it was someone trying to write from the perspective of an outsider looking in on what they think stan culture is and i think that’s why at time (for me) Dre as a character and her actions felt hallow and purely for spectacle. i also think for it to so heavily reference Bey, it doesn’t even lean into how she interacts (or doesn’t) interact with the hive that yields certain behaviors too.
This is a good take on the show and you brought up some great points. I watched the show on a surface level and enjoyed it for the satire comedy as it was (as a beyhive member) and I thought it was hilarious. As far as the take on the nuances of celebrity and fandom relationships, it wouldn’t have fit because Beyoncé don’t talk to us lmao. Maybe for a season 2 he’ll have the opportunity to dig deeper, the ending left it open for many possibilities.
