Do We Eat Him?

A Bold, Offbeat Triumph of Indie Storytelling

In the increasingly crowded world of short-form digital series, Do We Eat Him? crashes onto the scene with the kind of swagger, style, and tonal confidence that most indie productions can only dream of. From the first frame, the series announces itself with a distinct visual identity - sharp branding, striking set design, and a surreal, meticulously curated aesthetic that immediately sets it apart. We can’t help but wonder how this team sourced that unforgettable car, a prop so bizarrely perfect it feels like it was forged in the same universe the show inhabits.

But aesthetics are only the entry point. What truly cements Do We Eat Him? as a standout is the chemistry between its two leads. Fran’s performance is a masterclass in comedic timing, delivering a character that is equal parts bizarre, magnetic, and uproariously funny. Counterbalancing this, Kelsey brings a quieter, more sardonic edge—a kind of deadpan absurdity that makes their dynamic all the more compelling. The writing is sharp, smart, and never indulgent. It lets the comedy breathe, but it also trusts its performers to elevate every line beyond the script.

There’s an underlying precision to every creative decision here. The costumes, the props, the dialogue - they all conspire to create a world that feels both totally alien and strangely familiar. It’s no surprise that audiences are already excited for more, with the final episode set to drop on the 20th of this month. Spoilers would do a disservice to the wonderfully unpredictable nature of the show, but suffice it to say, the series builds with purpose and pays off in a way that’s both satisfying and entirely in keeping with its spirit.

At its core, Do We Eat Him? is a testament to what can be achieved with vision, talent, and storytelling. For a production of this scale, the level of craft is remarkable. This is the kind of work that deserves - and demands - applause.
