The Idol is EASILY the WORST show I've ever watched 

It’s not even described as a romance lmfao

Frrr

I hate this show so much

That’s an accurate description of every piece of art the weekend has ever made. Was never a fan and never will be ✊🏾

I genuinely don’t even know what genre it’s supposed to be I feel like it doesn’t fit anywhere cos it’s all over the place and poorly executed unfortunately

i ain't ever streaming his shit again let's also talk about how he degrades women and calls them names in like 90% of his discography this bitch is an INCEL

Fr

And right after he said something like that, the original director was replaced with Sam like???

Because there’s enough shows of that. Woman pov is so popular now that no one’s entertained by it anymore

​@@Nohablogringo-That's true, it was a bad decision because we got thos, however it probably wouldn't have been as unique as he wanted.

LMAOOO heavy on this,, the show would’ve likely flopped if Z wasn’t in it

​@@netflixpartyythat is the ONLY reason I even gave it a shot

Fr his only good works are Euphoria and Malcom & Marie. Hell even Malcom and Marie is pushing it 💀

​@@OmbreSky tbh i only watched malcolm & marie for zendaya too

@@OmbreSky Malcolm and Marie was surprisingly good

who gave him creative control of the script anyway?? like wtf does a B-List music artist know about writing, directing, and producing a TV series? fuck all, if "The Idol" is evidence enough

​@@roramoyaI know?? He even said the script felt "too feminine" when the female director was directing the show, and he got her fired to get Sam Levinson to work on it instead.

who is the weekend ?? and tbh all the movie "women empowerment" are so cringe and no relatable asf (these days at least) but that doesn't make gaze movie ( I guess ??) isn't that bad either

​@@ei4163what are you trying to say, you seem confused

​@@ei4163 ur comment is a little confusing and it wasn't supposed to be a "female empowerment" it was supposed to show how working in the industry is for women directed by a woman

yeah hes a creep

Yeah and like it makes me think, does he have a fetish for this stuff? Bc he most likely does and this show is looking like a fetish/kink show to me, like there are so many signs

Say it- He's a pedophile

he definitely adores making young blonde women into vulnerable mentally ill women be sexualized and used by men left and right (cassie and this main character of the idol)

💯

would take fifty shades over this ANY DAY 😭

DAAAAUM 😭😭😭😭

Don’t insult mediocrity! 😅 he was just terrible. Not even mediocre.

Calling him mediocre is so generous of you.

The show although very vulgar and provocative, was 🔥. Can’t wait for szn 2

@@moe3445there is no second season

Mediocre is generous as hell lol

It's the way that they tried to hard to be like this is so provocative, so controversial but it was mainly just boring and unserious

It's not even mediocre...it's BAD.

Mediocre is far too generous

@@anomalyrrrd exactly. It’s not just bad,it’s like horrifying-

I think you underestimate it's use to society,especially the medical field. If I ever need to hurl, now I know how

is it officially cancelled? i saw smth that said hbo dropped it after episode 2 aired but that was a hoax

jennie pretty much chose to stay, bfr.

@pazarrize1586 Hi. I never said any of that. You did. All I said is she was used for marketing the show which is true. They made her a cameo to boost viewership because they knew her fans would run to watch since this is her acting debut and her fans will support anything she does. Her choosing to do the idol is her choice so she should accept the consequences. But she was used at the same time. If I was her I wouldn't have did a show where all I had is cameo scenes with little screentime, or be involved with sam levingson she's much bigger than that. And she didn't gain much from this show as you said, she wasn't the lead or had any huge parts to get people outside of K pop to know who she is. And this whole show has gotten terrible reviews, it has not done anything for her, the show gained more from having her on.

@@iwakeupandboomimarat It's cancelled I saw a news article saying it dropped to 5 episodes and will end as a mini series.

@@Thesilentvoice... apparently hbo has said a second season hasnt been greenlit or denied so its kinda in limbo rn

they need to be put on a watchlist for this actually

​@@windyp0d this oh my god

Y’all dramatic

@@Nohablogringo- its not dramatic that show glorifies mental illness and it tried to make a commentary about how the music industry takes adv of women in the industry but instead they failed miserably because it was told through the eyes of a creepy old white man (sam levinson) its not dramatic because this is a normal reaction to have. if you like the show cause YOU have a deranged mind then j say that

They need to be behind BARSS asappp

Nah, she’s a grown woman, who made the decision to be in the show. Hey, at least this is the best acting she’s given.

@@sheshereisntshe297 Do you think this is worse than Laurence Fishburne's daughter doing pornography?

He said he is proud of her and her work on show 🙂

@raikun2.0 Amber left because she's a psycho.

@@MegaMilenchethey both have issues. Takes two to tango.

maybe i should give it another try…. the drugs and characters like nate really scared me off 😭

@@netflixpartyy oh ya Nate is a twat 😂, I was only really interested in Rue 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bc zendaya really acted her butt off fr

@@netflixpartyy GIRL i promise u almost every single character in that show is completely flawed and the storyline rlly isnt that special. HOWEVER the cinematography is absolutely beautiful and the acting is so phenomenal that its scary, the show remains disturbing tho (and its unrealistic for a high school setting) so i understand why people wouldn't watch it 😭

same but I also like the episodes Hunter wrote about Jules relationship with gender

this part. i’m tired of actual creative and interesting shows getting cancelled so that shows like this can air instead.

That’s most of Hollywood which sucks

@nxylaedits i LOVED i’m not okay with this so much 😭

LOCKWOOD AND CO. FR

​@nxyla123 The OA was cancelled for being "too pretentious" but then we got The Idol and are supposed to like it. Black Carbon and countless other shows just gone and replaced with the Jack in the Box burgers of media

HBO is for people who wanna jerk off..been wack

The Velma show was horrible! I expected more and was completely let down

​@@1tim3_JBThe only good thing about Velma was the art style. Sometimes the lighting and animation was beautiful.

@@onettaviator5396I agree. Also the show had some good character designs and voice acting

they have Game of thrones and Chernobyl and then Velma and The Idol...

exactly, it just ends up romanticizing the very ideas they’re trying to comment on

And that's also what euphoria did they just glorified the weird shits while trying to critcize it

Agreed

Pretty much what you get trying to remove the female perspective from talking about female exploitation in the music and media industries.

To be fair, even Sam was going to do something close to the original script, it was the Weeknd demanding a larger and much more sexual role. He wanted all that feminist shit changed lol

😂😂😂😂😂

It's the acting for me😭

It’s the fact that the Weeknd is SHORTER than that man 😭 it makes him look more corny than intimidating 💀

@@jazzy5410 nahh like it was so bad to watch too!!!

I had to look awayyy I was EMBARRASSED

i literally couldn’t sleep after it felt like someone was watching me 😭

Im sorry to hear that-

U clearly are if u can't even spell his name right lol

THIS

Thank you for saying this.

Basically.

ding ding ding

😮

Seriously who tf wrote the dialogue 💀

he looks so goofy with that rat tail wig 💀

​@@netflixpartyyFr😂

it's all just a guise, a façade to make itself seem legitimate 😬

It's like if someone committed a h@te crime to show why racism was bad. Like, we already knew it was objectively bad, you didn't need to create an example to prove it!

OMG THISSS My thoughts exactly 👋😩

prince is rolling in his grave rn

FACTS

Prince would never like the weeknd’s music either

That pissed me off 😤

Prince is in Purple Heaven eating pancakes with Michael and Charlie Murphy. Idk why they involved him in this monstrosity.😢

I’m pretty sure they were both signed on and legally obligated to finish the show before it got hijacked by Sam Levinson and The Weeknd. They signed up for an empowering story about real women and then got screwed over and left with THIS

@@gracelee5536 this is is not a female empowerment movie, dont spread misinformation

@@k-kmic7483 it was, but the weeknd changed it

@@sumairanazer9029 thats what im saying

Thank goodness

Fr! Just because he’s a good singer doesn’t mean he’s a good actor

This and the fact that euphoria is about literal teenagers, it’s just gross. I watched euphoria because of all the hype and I could barely make it the the first ep

@@AK-yl5ve exactly, i only wanted to watch it for maddys character but the rest of the show was gross

Thiss!! Its so weird, and so sorry you had to go through that💔

most ab*se victims are naturally attracted to people who will repeat those patterns with them, it’s a cycle. i only stopped being attracted to ab*sive men after i healed a lot from my childhood.

@@julesoxana thank you, I just wish sam and Abel did more research before assuming men knew the inner workings of a woman's mind

@@mizcantybaby they didn't do research because they don't see women as their equal nor think they have feelings, this bitch is obv a mysogynistic pos why is that such a hard concept for people to take in. Who in their right mind would ever think like that??? abel also said there was too much female perspective on the show(which btw is apparently made to show female perspective) like this bitch does not care he just wants his little porno with lilly rose

@@mizcantybaby Do you really think they‘d have done research? Because I don‘t think so. They actually don‘t care about anything but themselves.

no bc it's giving after and fifty shades like BYE

LMAOOO PLEASE

💀💀💀

STOPPPP-

And Edward Cullen too

Wish she held herself to a higher standard, but she wanted a role that would get her name further out there and she did it. It’s disappointing she stooped to this level and just went with it, she can hold herself to higher standards and she just doesn’t. 😕

​@@pregnantleggies3696 please you all don't know that She signed contract in 2021 for Original script . Y u all making these foolish remarks????

@@Bangchan-bv1sb She had plenty of time to leave or spark up a conversation with producers to get herself out of this show after seeing the new scripts. She likes what the show portrays her as because she just can’t stop praising Sam for his work. She should’ve held herself to a higher standard and tried to leave when the show became as horrible as it did, instead she stuck with it and clearly enjoyed it. She’s known all around the globe and you’re telling me this was the only show that wanted her? She can do better with her career.

@@pregnantleggies3696 lol Stop pretending you were present there when the contract was being signed and u know the Terms n conditions of contract Ijbol 💀

@@Bangchan-bv1sb and you do in fact know the terms and conditions? Most legal contracts have a way to terminate them, Jennie could’ve chosen a better show to switch and debut in and it doesn’t seem like she did. That’s what happens when you’re part of a mess, you’re usually criticized. The same way The weekend and Sam are responsible for changing the script the actors are responsible for not attempting to step away from the project.

True, but I am kinda glad, that "s*x sells" doesn't seem to be that true anymore. People are bored of it and want a real story and good acting.

Literally none of the scenes go together even without the sex. We was still trying to figure out what Jennie doing for the video (😅 they really showed a second of her doing it and then back to porn). It's sad cause they almost had me when Joseline broke down at the shoot. I saw some plot there

@@pixiestxNyomouf ???

@@Yi-Zhu.Lou. I was agreeing I re-worded it to make more sense, hopefully. ♥

Why did you do that to yourself babe😭😭

nah i'd never waste my 4 hours like that (coming from a major procrastinator lmao)

jesus it is not that serious

@@k-kmic7483 its a joke lmao 💀

@@Lav_Pixie2007 I thought it might redeem it self but no every time I thought this show would make sense it went right back to being tourture porn 😭

that’s disrespectful to perfect blue atp 😭

Black Swan already made this version and it was done over a decade ago.

Guy has belly

idk man euphoria is something really special to a lot of people. it isn’t just the plot that’s good, season one was just perfect in general

I do agree, too an extent. Sam went into making the idol with the idea of it being “worse than euphoria” (in terms of the nudity). Euphoria s1 was beautiful. The cinematography, the plots, they were all very solid points. I feel like sam levinson saw the backlash of the nudity from s1 and tried to somehow make a point by adding way more than too much in s2. Other than the nudity, the plot is actually really good (teen drug a even though she was raised with love? and that basically refuses to get better and realizes that she’s harming people?), and the actors are phenomenal. Just my opinion though, others are completely in the right to disagree!

I can’t believe i wrote a whole paragraph about euphoria. 😭 Mind you, i can’t stand sam levinson. I hope that the actresses in euphoria are able to get rid of the sex scenes or just cut down on the nudity bc they’ve already tried and been denied.

@@alexia9326 season 1 was decent but far from perfect the Maddie being in control line at 14 after being taken advantage of by an older man, Kat being an underage sex worker but they never go over or write the repercussions of something like that

@@kerri6011 true true, hate everyone’s storyline but was completely mesmerised by the way zendaya herself portrayed what it is to be an addict, as well as stormi and nika. i’ve never seen such a stunning performance

Thank you for pointing this out. I feel the same and it's really sad bc I was a HUGE fan!! Considering how critical he's been of the toxicity in the music industry I'm betrayed that he contributed to if not outright created this monstrosity! It's extremely disappointing and disturbing!

Thanks for this. I’m a fan of him too but I wasn’t expecting him to do a good job in this show. I had no expectations, but HOLY FUCK he did a HORRIBLE job acting😭 He should just stick to making music right now

Had to block him on Spotify bc of this rancid show

yeah fr i feel the same too

i had to watch him first to preserve some of my happiness 😭

Exactly. This show is too seggsual

It wasn’t a garbage show before The Weeknd and Sam got their hands on it and hijacker’s it from the original writing team.

​@@analiz9758she's an adult? Like literally 27 years old. She can make her own decisions and she can deal w the s3xu@al stuff but the show portrays just s3x. There's nothing more! The struggles of a female singer etc. Isn't mentioned ONE bit.

​​@@charismabossbbyrickyrue true she is an adult but still, this show is just icky but I don't hate her for being part of it...

​@@charismabossbbyrickyNo one was saying she wasn't an adult. They're saying that she can do waaaaaay better than this.

not enough 👀🙄 im gonna assume you’re joking ;)

@@yafoundmehoorah Trust me. 💀

same even i have my limits like 😭

I wouldn’t be surprised if 80% of viewers were BP fans, if she wasn’t in it the show would be flopping even harder than it is rn 😭

​​@@netflixpartyyEven the song "One of the girls" is now sky rocketing and that's because of the few lines Jennie got...This was the first time jennie was singing in this tone because she has a powerful voice so hearing this angelic vocals blinks(Blackpink fans) began streaming...Even Bilboard confirmed the credit for the song's popularity is because of Jennie...They even used Jennie's face in the Trailer for thumbnail and all she got in the trailer was 2 sec at most...They very clearly used her and what Jennie in turn recieved was only Slut shaming and hate...

Euphorias always been a mediocre show 😂 the only good storyline was the rue one, he honestly should’ve just focused on the show being about a teenager struggling with drug addiction instead of all the other crap

@@Las645 tbh, he could’ve dealt with the sexual stuff but not in a such a hypersexual and sex-gaze focused way. Like Sex Education, I heard that the show deals really well with how teenagers experience teenage life and focuses around the topic of sex without making it creepy

​@@Las645I disagree as someone who has lived with and gotten high with addicts in the past. Or as someone with mental health issues. For once I felt like there was accurate representation. In no way did those issues feel glamorized. I think Sam did try to say a lot with Euphoria, but the execution could have been a bit better. That said it's something special to us and many queer audience members. The Idol... indefensible trash

In hindsight, I think people are able to overlook it due to Euphoria’s actors . But “The Idol” just laid everything bare. Sam Levinson is trash

no euphoria is actually a masterpiece. but this shit, this is bad

That's what I'm saying. Euphoria was always just The Idol ft Zendaya

​@@mooncookies7803A masterpiece? Lmao come on

euphoria had a story and emotions . the idol was random

REDDIT HUMOR 😭

These people don't care about Kpop idols at all. All they see is money n popularity.

the moment they announced jennie was going to be in the show, i knew right away that they were going to use her for clout.

Wtf I don’t like the show but yall are reaching damn, First of all the decision doesn’t solely fall on him . Just because that’s the only name you know working on the show Jennie AND HER TEAM decided she should be on the show and they probable pulled her out as well Of course they’re gonna use her for that, Jennie has no acting credibility so as of now she is just a pretty face that was used for publicity to gather BP fans It might be “wrong” but there’s nothing racist about it

@@ntbored7727 I'm not saying he's racist but I am not blind to the way Americans get when it comes to working with asain artists and especially kpop idols. They rarely take them seriously. I've seen it happen do many times. Like their just jokes to be used. So I wouldn't be supreied if with Sam's questionable behavior he was also a bit racist in that sense. To tell her to just sit pretty and be grateful is already something in itself

@@lisa.222 the first thing you said id that he’s racist wtfym??? And again, she’s a KPOP IDOL She has no acting credibility She doesn’t act She’s not an actress and none of the scenes she did reflect on her badly. Only the show is bad right now Of course she was called in by her TEAM. A team that read the script and signed her up Kpop fans act like you know these idols

HEYYY, and fr it's so bad like omg

😂 now that you say it

No one did teen s*x better than 'S*x Education'

aw thank you darling :’) !!

Bro that's what I said.

It was a crime alright & we were the victims.

lmfao😭

I thought i was the only one, the only reason me and my sister likes them is so we can laugh the cringy shi that goes on (it’s kills us, but that’s the best part)

Fr tho he should just ditch acting and stick to making music rn

Real

I honestly did find him attractive but this show is making me have second thoughts about him. The sexual scenes with him in them weren’t even hot, it was just…awkward.
