The CW’s “Crime Nation” takes on the influencer age this Thursday with “Dying for Fame,” an episode that explores the dark side of social media celebrity. When a high-profile influencer’s boyfriend dies violently, the spotlight quickly turns to her. Was she a victim of abuse, or did she cross the line from online persona to real-life violence?
As the investigation unfolds, the episode raises questions about the nature of online relationships and the pressure cooker of constant scrutiny that comes with internet fame.
The series often features insights from online sleuths and crime enthusiasts, adding a contemporary twist to the true crime genre. In a world where everyone has a platform and every moment can be documented, the lines between public persona and private life become blurred. “Dying for Fame” examines just how dangerous those blurred lines can be.
“Dying for Fame” on Thursday, March 6th at 9:00 PM ET.
