The Brazilian comedy thriller The Followers on Paramount+ takes aim at the social media craze and settles accounts with the mendacity of the influencer scene.
Designed as a bitter satire, the pilot episode with great acting performances and deep black humor invites you to continue watching.
Who doesn't know him?
The everyday TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Twitch madness?
The desire to become a big star and thus rich drives influencers to push boundaries again and again.
For a good ad deal, you lie to your followers, harm others, create a fake identity, and pretend to be someone else to the cheering crowd.
The Brazilian comedy thriller "As Seguidoras" aka "The Followers" hits exactly this line.
The series is designed as a bitter, deep black satire and does its job really well.
Liv (played wonderfully crazy by Maria Bopp) is obsessed with becoming the greatest of the great and looks enviously at her sister-in-law Ananda (beautifully affected: Raissa Chaddad), who is just as dishonest as she is, but much more successful.
But what don't you do for a few more clicks?
