What Are the Critics Saying About Followers?
Followers does not yet have an official critics rating or an average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series, however, has a user score of 6.4/10 on IMDB.
Joel Keller from Decider writes, “Followers moves a little slowly, but it’s visually stunning and is a good illustration of how people’s lives come down to numbers on social media.”
Daily Dot’s Jenny Zheng says, “As for the story, however, Followers is less impressive in the way it clumsily handles its ensemble cast and how it explores not particularly provocative social media themes…Followers has the seeds of what could be a great story and also has a fun charm, but it ultimately doesn’t capture the current zeitgeist ruled by social media and the internet.”
