What unfolds is about social-media fame and lessons about superficiality. All done with amazing visual energy. Go to Full Review Alyssa I. Smith Japan Times 06/30/2020
While the show succeeds as a fun escape from reality, it also manages to have an empowering message about what it means to be a woman in modern society. That's enough to make me a follower. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 04/13/2020
"Followers" has its faults, and it would probably be better if there were fewer episodes (could also work better as film) but in general, is very easy to watch, quite entertaining and its comments are communicated clearly. Ideal for binge-watching. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 02/27/2020

Christa: What does she want? Urainia: Nothing most days. (pause) Although, she wants to tell her world what happened to her Body when her Godhead was cut off...
