Love them or hate them, dating apps have a stranglehold on society. The idea of “swiping right or left” has infiltrated pop culture. Swiped explores the origins of these apps through the eyes of Whitney Wolfe Herd (Lily James), an ambitious entrepreneur who co-founded Tinder.
Despite being one of the most important figures at Tinder, Wolfe felt neglected at the predominantly male company. In Wolfe’s mind, it was time for females to take charge in business and dating. Swiped depicts Herd’s move from Tinder to finding Bumble. The drama also examines the toxic culture behind these apps and Wolfe’s crusade to end the stigma.
