the first episode reminded me of that James franco riff raff movie "spring breakers" and fifty shades of grey

This basically what it was exactly :mjlol:

I was cracking up at the whole scene of Abel pulling up to the crib in a trench coat, sniffing couch pillows and blasting rails in the bathroom with his rat tail :dead:

It seems like Abel wrote a lot of this or heavily influenced it clearly with the discussion on pop music and the lines about Prince. And when he mentions her working with her best friend as her assistant which is similar to his relationship with his best friend Lamar in real life who like his business partner/manager.

People not gonna like the “he comes off as rapey” “yeah but I like that” :huhldup: that shyt was cringe

Gonna keep watching though. Don’t know if HBO got another one yet :jbhmm:

First ep was fine :yeshrug:

I'm guessing the show got critically panned cause the show told them about themselves and they felt bad.
It got canned because of feminist bullshyt type stuff.

Hit pieces were being put out on it months before it's premiere

A report from April blamed the show’s overhaul on Tesfaye, who was reportedly unhappy that the story was focusing too much on Depp’s character, according to Deadline. A source with knowledge seconds that Tesfaye was the reason behind the shakeup, wanting to tone down the cult aspect of the storyline and pivot into something else entirely, dropping the “feminist lens” through which the show was being told as a result. “It was like the Weeknd wanted one show that was all about him — Sam was on board with that,” another source explains to Rolling Stone.

This kinda reminds me of The Neon Demon.

Visually, The Idol is great and Lily Rose Depp looks good.
It's kinda all over the place and seems a little outrageous but I'm intrigued by Sam Levinson's fukkery so I'll check the rest of the season.
