About
You’ll likely enjoy this dark, uncomfortable take on social media obsession and the need for validation, especially if you like Nosedive or I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore; Not for you if you dislike stalking themes, mental health stigma, or stories that feel harshly unresolved.
Pros: sharp social media satire; strong dark comedy; uneasy but engaging | Cons: disturbing obsession themes; uneven tension; some messaging feels off
