I've watched the first three episodes of Red Rose (2022) a British TV series that ran for 8 episodes. It's currently available on Netflix. It has elements of horror but is mostly a teen drama of social media bullying and how people are affected by suicide. If that is a trigger, be warned that the series is very intense.
The series starts with the suicide of a young girl, who appears to be having visions. It then changes to a group of friends celebrating the end of the exams and a summer break. Roch is beginning to feel estranged from her friend Wren, so downloads a social media app, Red Rose which promises to change her life. The app begins to change the relationship that Roch is having with all her friends and eventually with tragic results.
Some scares but the real story are how the remaining friends try to deal with the mystery of the app and who/what might be behind it. As I've said, if suicide and bullying are subjects that may be too much for you give this show a pass. Well acted and chilling.
