All in all, Celebrity delivers exactly what its influencer subjects do: flashy distraction devoid of substance, a quick dopamine hit that lasts just long enough to be forgotten--and a promise that never quite lives up to the bargain.

While the premise of a social media personality spilling the tea on her own murder is gripping, and while the characters and performances are surprisingly engaging, the story itself is ultimately a shallow hodgepodge of diverging, disconnected plots and stock cliches that undermine both its driving themes and its characters.

That doesn't mean it isn't entertaining, of course, because it is certainly, if nothing else, able to keep you attention long enough to be bingeable, especially with episodes running at about 45 minutes a pop. But it also probably won't rate much higher than a witty quip in a comment section.

Essentially, the show is a piece of internet gossip, providing you with a momentary rush of excitement, a passing feeling of moral superiority, and then a lingering sense that none of it really matters.

...but you're still going to consume it.
