The beauty writer Jessica DeFino refers often to the “mirror world” inside our phone; the uncanny, glistening selfieverse that’s also become more real for many of its devotees than the lumpy, blotchy meatspace where the rest of us live.
I thought about the mirror world while watching All’s Fair, Ryan Murphy’s new creative product – I can’t call it a television show because it isn’t one. Rather, it’s Instagram Reels at episode length, 45-minute collections of bedazzled moving images, targeted at the idly scrolling second-screen viewer.
