Fishback's performance in "Swarm" is what carries the series.

As of March 17, "Swarm" holds a "81% Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Though critics are somewhat lukewarm on the show's message and writing, most agree that Fishback's leading performance as Dre carries the show.

Reviewers call the series a dark, satirical thriller that spotlights the isolation in obsession. While it may communicate that with varying levels of success, most critics agree that it's still an interesting watch, and has the potential to be well worth the "Euphoria"-like hype.
