Identity and identification
The work covered here is the scripted drama series Snap (2022–2023) recorded as IMDb tt18163882, an American production.1 The title is shared by several unrelated subjects. Snap Originals is Snap Inc.'s brand of premium, made-for-mobile shows created exclusively for Snapchat; they are shot in vertical format with episodes of around five minutes, and Snap unveiled its first original show, Good Luck America, in January 2016 and its first slate of serialized Snap Originals in October 2018.2 • 3 Outside screen media, SNAP was a nighttime radio program on the Los Angeles station KCRW, created and hosted by Deirdre O'Donoghue, which aired non-continuously from December 1982 to July 1991.4 A further referent is the performative gesture of finger-snapping, which a 1995 Text and Performance Quarterly article describes as a nonverbal art form and recognizable popular-culture signifier claimed particularly by African-American gay men and African-American women.5
Production and credits
The series was created by Devin Hampton and Eric Benét, and stars Jon Lee, Brittney Q. Hill, and Frank Oakley III.1 Production companies are Primary Wave Entertainment and Cultivate Entertainment Partners.1 The database record names no network or streaming platform, and no separate trade or press coverage of the production has been documented.1
Premise and genre
Snap is placed in the drama genre. Its premise follows an imperfect god named A.O. who serves as the "moral compass" for the protagonist of each episode, challenging the beliefs that protagonist has held onto for most of their life; the framing suggests an anthology structure in which each episode centers a different protagonist.1
Release
The series premiered in the United States on December 22, 2022, and its run extends into 2023, giving a 2022–2023 date range across seven episodes.1 The database record does not name the outlet on which the series premiered.1
Reception, by the numbers
The only quantitative reception record is the IMDb audience rating: 5.6 out of 10, based on 74 user ratings.1 No professional critical reviews, festival appearances, awards, budget, viewership, or streaming-availability information for the series appear in the documented record, and nothing covers the series' status after 2023.1
