, opens with a very fair question. “My whole goal with this house in the first place,” states Thomas Petrou, “was, why can’t people who hit millions of other people be as famous as A-list celebrities?”

But, unlike Lawrence, Hanks, and their peers, TikTok stars would seem to lack that in-between level of awareness: Many people who have not seen “Don’t Look Up” literally know who Lawrence is, whereas to not follow Petrou is quite possibly to be unaware he exists, or that he is working daily to please his massive viewership.

Chase’s relationship with his reputation is complicated: He’s spent much of a young life chasing his dream, but acknowledges that this pursuit has also ruined him. Noting that he’s grown bitter and closed-off after rumors flew around his breakup, he mirthlessly tells the camera, “Thanks for that, internet,” with a long pause between the last two words as he seeks a word for the thing that’s done him wrong. The internet is the engine of all the good in his life, as well as all the bad.

And that is a real thing anyone might be concerned about! And a viewer will be sensitive to the fact that, no matter what these individuals do for a living, they are human beings who are put through a wringer the likes of which has never before existed in human history. But perspective, here, has been erased: For members of the Hype House, popularity is where the story begins and ends. That lack of imagination about a world beyond the iPhone screen extends to the show’s aesthetic.
