foreign [Music]

Beyonce and a loyal member of The Beehive became an actual serial killer well the new
Prime video series swarm might have given us an Insight of what that might actually
look like but before we discuss that I got a quick question for you all who's your favorite
what is going on everyone and welcome back to my Channel today we're discussing the seventh
and final episode of the new Prime series swarm in this seventh episode being titled only God makes
Happy Endings now before we discuss and break down this episode and I'm going to be obviously sharing

got an episode to talk about full spoilers ahead we open in Atlanta Georgia June 2018 which is two
years since we first met Dre back in episode one we see Dre has completely changed her look and she
now goes by the name of Tony now up until this point in the show we've seen so many different
versions of Dre as she is a definition of a true shape shifter as we've seen Dre go through the
various spectrums of feminine and masculine energy throughout this series now Tony meets and helps
Rashida and her friends and offers them a ride after they find them at the club and we cut to
going to Rashida's apartment and she accidentally plays nausea and she lets Tony know right off the
bat she is not a fan of Niger but we get a much different reaction from Tony from what we've
seen from previous episodes whenever someone would have disapproval of nausea and Tony just kind of
lets it Go by she doesn't really make any mind of her not being a fan and as we learn in this scene
right here Tony doesn't have their phone anymore and we know how important that phone was to Dre
so it appears that Dre has left her killer Persona behind her and Tony now is sleeping in a car and
has a knife by their side and this is a whole new different version of Dre that we've never seen
now this scene right here is yet another example of showing how Dre is so much different from Tony
as Tony is watching a video of naja's hit song playing on the television and we know every time
Dre would see Naja she would start dancing she would be in this trance but we see Tony just
kind of smiling to TV and doesn't have that same reaction but as well as being followed up by this
next scene we see the police looking into Tony's car which might give an indication to the audience
that Tony slash Dre is feeling that the police are on to them now as far as the relationship
between Tony and Rasheeda we see that they have now hidden it off they're now dating I found it
very interesting that Rashida didn't really see the red flags from Tony especially with them
switching out their cars every so often but this leads to Tony meeting her parents this moment here
put a big old smile on my face as I'm such a big fan of this actress Chris Summers is the mother
of Rashida and the thing I loved about this if you all follow my channel you know I covered Atlanta
and on the season finale Cree was actually in that episode so I love the elaboration continuing
between Donald Glover and cream as she's playing the mother of Rashida and we got the great Norm
Lewis who plays the Dad and thing seems to be going perfectly for this couple but this leads
into them having their first kind of big fight that we see as an audience and of course it has
to do with nausea as Tony has bought these front row seat tickets to the new Naja concert that cost
over four thousand dollars instead of getting a anniversary gift that Rashida actually wants from
Tony now I'm not gonna lie I wasn't the biggest fan of the acting from Rashida in this moment
but I completely understand where she was coming from because we know whenever nausea gets brought
up how Dre would use money she would literally use you for your money in order to get what she wants
from Naja which is being in her presence so again wasn't a fan of the acting but this moment here
when we get the return of Dre as she chokes and kills the love of what I assume was her life like
fall in love with Rashida we've never seen this type of love from Dre she chokes and kills her
and if you notice this scene that look in Dre's eyes that's that same look she had when she made
all those previous kills dating back to episode one as she takes and burns the body of Rashida
but then she realizes those tickets that cost four thousand dollars are being burnt with the body at
the same time now we remember as an audience the last time Dre missed her chance to meet her Idol
and nausea when we go back to episode four when she killed Billy eilish character Ava and the
whole women in Parliament cult group so we know Dre is willing to do anything and everything when
it comes to NASA especially considering the last time she saw hers when she bit her back in episode
three now Dre at this point is looking into any and every way to get into this concert as she
comes across this ticket scalper and she kills him and again just notice the body language the
way that Dre is carrying herself the mannerisms are bad from all the previous episodes as we see
that she sees nausea on stage and again she's starting to be like a zombie her sole purpose
is to get into Naja now again Dre is in this trans and Dre somehow manages to get up on the
stage but she stopped by security but we get this surreal moment where Naja stops them from taking
Dre she walks over to Dre and she sees her and if you notice the face on nausea isn't really
nausea now to be fair we've really never see in the face of knowledge without the series we got
hints of it but that wasn't nausea's face that was Marissa's face as Naja tells Dre to sing now Dre
is not singing but she tells the crowd that she loves them and the crowd is cheering as we see
Naja taking Dre with her as they leave in her car and we see a moment that Dre has been looking for
and just wanting this moment to be fully embraced as she's crying being hugged by nausea we end the
episode on what appears to be a happy ending for Dre as there was really only two or three people
that Dre wanted acceptance from and nausea being one of them but in reality we know what happened
to Dre back in episode six which we'll break down here in a minute but I want to backtrack a little
bit and talk about the relationship between Marissa and Dre when they were kids now going
back to that pivotal episode six we found out and we got the confirmation of something that was
hinted at throughout the episodes and throughout the season that Dre was adopted by the Jackson
family and we also found out about this situation involving a sleepover and Dre snapping and she
end up stabbing one of Marissa's close friends which caused the Jackson to giving her back to
the Foster family now within that situation we also found out that Dre was made fun of when she
was singing a part of the talent show and she was just hoping to kind of get discovered like
nausea which would explain why Dre was imagining that moment on stage with her having the audience
cheering for her because when she was a kid they were booing and making fun of her but you also
have to remember that Marissa she loved Dre she accepted Dre for who she is and she also accepts
up to her as a sisters that she always wanted which is why Dre saw Marissa's face on naja's face
and also just going back to that sad moment when she lost Marissa she lost her sister and nausea
was considered to be a sister in her eyes and she was kind of feeling that void for her but the big
question is why was Dre so obsessed with nausea if you all go back to a couple different moments
in these previous episodes one that comes to mind is episode three which was titled taste we saw at
the beginning of that episode Marissa was kind of Fanning out over just watching nausea and Marissa
called Nigel a God she called her a queen but again more importantly she called her a sister
so if you go back to episode 4 which was titled Running Scared when Ava was trying to get Dre to
admit her true identity she talked about when she first listened to Naja and how death was Beauty
and equal but her love for Nigel was stemmed in a traumatic situation remember the situation at
hand was the red milk and her grand mother was crying now I personally believe that Dre killed
her grandmother but obviously the big question is why does she do that but I would imagine there
was probably some uh abuse going on there that might explain why the Foster system got involved
with taking her in now if you all go back to the caseworker who detective green was interviewing
she couldn't really give too many details of what actually happened with Dre and her mother and her
grandmother but before that conversation was ended by the camera guy who was capturing the interview
she had mentioned that Dre's mother may have potentially been murdered but more importantly
Dre was lonely and she was seeking acceptance again that keyword being acceptance now knowing
that Dre was seeking acceptance that doesn't take away or doesn't absolve any of the behavior and
the killings that Dre has done throughout this series but it helps the audience or at least I'll
speak for myself it helps me understand the need of her accepting from those that she deems to be
important to her right you think of Marissa you think of Rashida in this episode episode and you
more importantly you think of Naja she's seeking acceptance from these women but going back to
what actually happened in reality at the end of episode seven so going back to what happened in
episode six you all remember the article that read that a man ran on stage during the concert and
how detective green had Tony held in the Atlanta police station and the story ended up showing that
they were pushing to get Dre arrested and Dre was the main suspect entitled to be a serial killer of
at least eight murders and everyone from Houston to Nashville to the police in the Little Rock area
all reopened their cases and it also stated that Dre was named to be the main person that interest
in all the cases so it's pretty safe to say that Dre end up going to jail for all the crimes she
committed throughout this season which I want to also highlight going back to that sixth episode
which was titled falling through the cracks that episode was fantastic and again going back to my
fandom of Atlanta in the final season season 4 episode 8 which was titled the Goof who sat next
to door that episode was incredible and making us think that the person they were covering which was
Thomas Washington was an actual person that worked for Disney I was thinking the same thing so if you
all are watching this and if you're thinking to yourself wait a minute was Andrea green an actual
person was this a true story it wasn't I'm gonna break it down here in a second but again they did
such a great job of making us believe that Andrea green was an actual person so kudos to the writers
and directors of that sixth episode because it was just almost surreal thinking that that was a real
situation at hand so overall my thoughts in this series I thought the series did such a great job
of showing us how people use celebrities or use ours in this case nausea as a tool to create their
perfect image of what they imagine is perfection and seeing themselves in that individual now
nausea we know in this series she was far from perfect as the show alluded to she was married
to a man who was taken advantage of her but Dre didn't want to see that nor does she want
to hear that every time she saw Naja every time she listened to her music she considered Nigel
to be a goddess and considered her to be nothing less than perfect and if you didn't see the same
thing coming from Naja you were considered to be an enemy in Dre's eyes so I wanted to share with
you all an interview that I read in the Rolling Stones when they interviewed the co-creator of
the show Janine neighbors as she talks about the idea behind the series and also collaborating with
the other co-creator Donald Glover how did the idea for the show come to you Janine I understand
you're from Houston like a certain pop star Janine I am from Houston Donald pitched the idea directly
to me we knew that we wanted it centered in the world of a black female perspective
Atlanta was a really personal story for him being from Atlanta and wanting to show that side
of Blackness and family in Atlanta and with me being from Houston we connected the dots to that
it was part of The Narrative of him being online and seeing this black woman tweet why do black
women have to be the pillars in other people's story so another part of this article that I
found interesting which by the way I'll leave the article in the description of this video the whole
question about how would fans feel that our fans of Beyonce and the Beehive what they write what
they feel like offended that this show is kind of coming at them and touching on the topics of
fandom but not just any fandom toxic fandom and how it can be so kind of dangerous in today's
society here's what Janine had to say about that well I at the end of the day this is a story about
Dre a story about a woman who's going through the grieving process and who connects to to people in
her world when the pilot story happens and she loses a sense of who she is we see her go full
steam ahead on Nigel now I love that quote and I completely agree because in my opinion the show
was less about speaking to all fandoms and calling out a particular group of people instead that to
me was kind of the background the show and in the foreground the main focus was Dre her particular
situation her obsession over this pop star which isn't everyone's story right and the big question
at hand that I wanted to know from you all is when it comes to Colin Dre like an evil person now to
me the show never really gives you a definitive answer and I think it's really up to the audience
to make the decision on if you deem her to be evil or bad or terrible but to me at the end of the day
I believe that's again all up to the audience but I definitely think the show did a good job
of showing us her Breaking Point especially in episode one and how that set her on this path for
the rest of the show so again comment below how you feel about the Drake character did you ever
sympathize lies with her did you just hate what she was doing let's have those discussions in the
comments section and also I find it interesting that the article talked about the whole Beyonce of
it all and how she was maybe the template of the show and Janine went on to say an article that it
was more of an amalgamation of different artists especially in the Houston area whether you look at
a Beyonce alizzo a Meg the stallion who all come from Houston in similar kind of neighborhoods and
they all have a similar DNA within The Narrative of this story as well as the music so I thought
that was interesting but at the same time I would say this show being titled swarm and the idea of
bees being mentioned throughout the series you can tell Beyonce was more of less the huge influence
on our nausea character in this series let me know your thoughts on that last thing I want
to do before we wrap up this video is giving praises to all of the favorite elements that
I really adored about this series first off the team behind the show co-creators Donald Glover
Janine Nabors and all the various black writers and the black directors did a phenomenal job in
showing us a story we rarely see a media today and showing a black woman being a serial killer like
when do we ever see that so I really appreciated their narratives and the stories they gave us in
this show and giving out the Roses to the entire cast and the various cameos and the supporting
characters some of my favorites just to name a few Chloe Bailey I really enjoyed as Marissa
Paris Jackson was hilarious an episode that she was in Karen Rodriguez was great my man Leon and
Billy eilish y'all when she was in episode four I thought she was phenomenal I've never seen Billy
eilish as an actress I've only seen and heard her music but I thought that she was very chilling
in her role as Ava which actually brings me to sharing with you all my favorite episodes in no
particular order but I thought the pilot episode was great a great way to set the tone and show us
what we were kind of getting into with this Dre character and episode 2 with the strippers was
just so random but just I was on the edge of my seat watching that entire episode shake out as we
saw Dre was going on the hunt and finding people on Twitter that was talking bad about nausea
episode four though I think that's my favorite episode because it was extremely creepy as we
saw Ava and her empowerment women empowerment cult grew it was definitely giving me mid-summer Vibes
and again Billy eilish surprised the hell out of me and I gotta bring it back to episode five which
Dominique Fishback give her the nomination for an Emmy because just overall seeing her completely
snap and get in the messages from Marissa who was in her head telling her what to do next
and who to kill next the range that we got from Dominique from seeing her killing the people was
so terrifying to having Dre being awkward and so out of touch at points to me just wanted to grab
her through the screen just give her a hug I mean again the range was so next level which
I want to get to my last point before we wrap this up just focusing on her performance to me
was so groundbreaking in every way imaginable she deserves all the praise that I believe will be
coming her way after this show comes out and we've been talking about it on this channel with Pedro
Pascale with the Mandalorian and The Last of Us Jonathan Majors with Kane the Conqueror and most
recently playing Damien in Creed 3 and they're doing their thing there's a lot of other great
actors doing their thing right now but Dominique Fishback I've been a fan of hers for such a long
time she's going to have an amazing swing between three with not only this show but she's going to
be in Transformers later this season we are living in the year of these great talented people and I
think Dominique Fishback was phenomenal and when it comes to Dre to me she's definitely an iconic
character of 2023 so far so there you have it y'all that's the end of my breakdown I want
to take the time to thank you all for watching this video if you're still here watching put in
