SWAT season 2 episode 8 preview: Describing ‘The Tiffany Experience’
We’re in an era now where internet stars are, in one way or another, effectively taking over the world. Many of them are more popular than professional athletes and there’s a shark-like quality to how many of them operate. They feel the need to constantly keep swimming and swimming out of fear that if they stop (i.e. stop posting content), then they will turn irrelevant and die. “Content” can be defined by a number of different things, as well, whether you are talking about YouTube videos, Instagram live, or of course those random posts where you’re shilling everything from random workout equipment to makeup products that you’ve never otherwise buy in a million years.
For more information as to what we’re talking about here, just go hit up your favorite reality star’s Instagram feed — the shilling is probably strong all over it.
So how does all of this factor in Hondo and the remainder of the team? It’s pretty simple. The team has to find a way to keep an internet star away from technology and out of the spotlight, which is going to be infinitely harder than perhaps any of them realize. This is a serious thing, but you have to wonder whether or not said star will feel that way. It’s a bizarre situation to be, one where this person may recognize on some level that they are in danger; yet, at the same time it’s one of the most profitable positions to be in. When the headlines are all about you, any content creator is going to want to exploit it.
Given the subject matter, you gotta expect some comedy in this episode as Hondo and company are exposed to a bizarre world that probably feels like a parallel universe to them. Yet, as this case moves along, you have to hope that the internet star realizes that maybe she does need these people more than she realizes. Things are probably going to get hairy and action-packed, largely because they often do no matter how the case starts out.
While this may be a somewhat atypical case for SWAT, there’s a part of us as a viewer that rather-likes this show moving in this particular direction. The #1 benefit to this sort of case is that it allows us a chance to get the characters outside of their element, which is great for character building … you probably realize already that the action is going to be there.
