“Not Okay” Only on Hulu July 29th!
Danni Sanders, an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris in the hopes of boosting her social media clout.
When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined. She “returns” a hero, scooping up the man of her dreams Colin, and even striking up an unlikely friendship with Rowan, a real trauma survivor dedicated to societal change.
As an influencer and advocate, Danni finally has the life and audience she always wanted. But it’s only a matter of time before the facade cracks, and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.
“Not Okay” is a dark comedy about one woman’s misguided attempt to become the Internet’s next trending personality. A mix of cautionary tale and social satire, its story traces back to writer/director Quinn Shephard’s experience of the cultural collision online during the last few years.
“Not Okay’s characters should be familiar to those with a passing knowledge of the most notorious swindlers of the internet age. Its “heroine”, Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), is a photo editor at a content mine who aspires to be the next viral sensation.
Her co-worker/crush Colin (Dylan O’Brien), is a weed boi influencer. Her nemesis Harper (Nadia Alexander) is a feminist crusader who trades in RBG think pieces. And her new ally is Rowan, (Mia Isaac) a real trauma survivor turned gun violence advocate; the only virtuous one of the bunch.
As written by Quinn Shephard, they’re all tragic figures, each using the Web in an attempt to cope with a collective trauma.
