tv show The Idol | All episodes out

[LVP]

Are there any more lines they gonna cross?  At Troy’s scene

[X~MoviePoP]

Can someone post the ratings for each episode so far plz

[James_Dean]

Troye's scenes had me sick to my stomach 

[TYMPS]

the writing for this is soooo so bad and underdeveloped 

 

like an actual relationship between lily rose and jennie could have been written so their imminent fallout could carry some damn emotion

 

troye all of a sudden getting a halfassed storyline to justify his abuse???

 

tetros is a bad joke, abel cannot act

 

there could have been flashbacks or more context to joslene's relationship with her mother, but all we get is tragic references that lack emotion because why should we care?! definition of telling and not showing

 

also joslene barely feels like a celebrity...sorry, but someone on her supposed level would just not have all of this free reign/lack of responsibility, even if she's busy recording. the whole things lacks art and heart, it just comes off as a self-indulgent six ep test run 

 

nepotism RUINS art. this show makes this exceedingly clear

If he's making you uncomfortable he's literally doing what he's supposed to do so I'd say he's a great actor convincing everyone.

 

Anyways, another great episode!

He’s not because it is unbelievable. It’s giving some incels fantasy. 

[ZORBIT]

I'm so glad they're finishing this dumpsterfire of a show quicker than we thought

This EP again, was a waste of time but at least legend Sennott & Destiny carried

[Kimi]

This might be in my top 5 worst shows Ive ever seen frfr

[Fastlane]

In this series, even the star undercoat is raw. It has been mentioned that Jocelyn became a star at the age of 11 by singing in a mall. And she only has two studio albums in 10 years of her career, considering that she has super primitive music. I don’t understand how she became the “most important star of the generation”, as she is presented. The puzzle didn't work out.

[BizarreWizard]

Obviously, the show’s getting cancelled. They had a whole Volume 1 soundtrack album ready to roll and yet they chose to release individual EPs instead, out of nowhere 

This was just a sick and twisted vanity project for Abel. Truly sad when you think they originally had an interesting concept but some fragile men turned it into a perverted on-screen fantasy.

This is an unprecedented disaster lmao did they just say **** it and decide to wrap it up early?

That in-public recording session scene was so uncomfortable to watch. Abel is so uneasy on the eyes but way too invested in this role, wouldn’t be surprised to uncover some nasty behind-the-scenes stories about him in the future. Anyway, better wrap it up and cancel it.

 

  Hide contents

Let’s not even start on Xander’s torture scene or Abel calling Jocelyn’s ex a f*****. Yikes.

 

the irony of abel trying to come off as homophobic yet having more sexual tension in his scenes with troye and jocelyn's ex is a kii. someone on twitter said it best, abel made this show to basically **** lily. the hyper sexualization of her on this show is extremely uncomfortable.

he is not a good actor. that is a fact. the uncomfortability comes from the fact that we know sam and him pushed for the show to be so exploitative and it's jarring to see how comfortable he is with that on screen because of so.

The whole Troye Sivan plot line came out of nowhere. 

yeah so i'm confused what's the truth? the inconsistency with his character is bothering me. so they grew up together and are best friends? he found out later on joce's mom outed him and that caused him to i guess not want to pursue a career of his own? and he kept joce's abuse a secret because she asked him. but then that was all a lie like i'm confused?

if you’re THAT offended by every little thing in this show, you’re truly living in an alternate fantasy world and I feel bad for you

... no they don't. reevaluate the company that you keep if that's your take.

 

you don't get to police how people should react to things.

 

you have a karina gif as your avi so you out of all people should know how tone deaf your post is considering how many things people take offense to karina just case and those same people feeling the same way as your response aka not acceptable

Ive only seen 2 episodes so far.. but i am very MAD.

 

There is something great here. You can tell there was something really interesting being put together regarding a pop star and her life...something that tv hasn't had..but they ruined it with this weird side story with the weeknds character. He and sam came in and ruined a potentially great show.

 

Ill finish watching it but if they do a season 2, they need a writers room and the weeknd needs to take a step back.

this needs to end with the weeknd dying and joce's becoming a superstar out of sympathy payola for it but the twist being she killed him and becoming a shadow of her mother in the end. i agree though that's what makes watching this so infuriating because they could've easily had such a great show but what we got with a hbo after dark special with famous people.

5* now

Naturally, I do not understand how the next series will end. It seems to me that Tedros will kill Jocelyn and her posthumous album will beat all sales.

the timeline is all over the place. this show could've easily been a trilogy. joce starting out a teen idol star with a show her bubblegum debut while being abused by her ill mother should've been the plot of the first season. the contrast of her good girl image and the darkness that she was living behind the scenes ending with her mom passing and joce's breakdown would've been a great arc. the second season could be what we're getting now. the comeback, good girl gone bad era. dates bad boy. her downfall and spiral etc. instead of tedros being some weird pimp it would've been much better commentary to have him be an obsessed stan that infiltrates her life.

i really hope that doesn't happen. if anything i hope joce kills tedros. the weeknd can focus on the soundtrack aspect of the project

Because Dyanne is Jennie, duh

i would like it if they gave her more lines and actual screentime. her being an opportunistic ***** isn't enough for me.

The fingering scene...... I have no words. It's getting worse and worse

while lily is obviously consenting to the nudity and sexual explicit scenes the fact that it's just her that's being mostly showcased like this for a majority of her screentime makes me super uncomfortable. like their is no need for her naked body to be so predominant gratuitous on screen like that. it's feel very *****graphic

Can I just say that she's the best character in the whole show:

LOVE HER

[Attitude]

This show is gonna end with something stupid like a mass suicide. 

 

I wonder what the original cut of the show looked like. Anne Heche and Elizabeth Berkley were cut from the show. I'm assuming Anne would've played her mother.

wtf fr? I wanted to see EB  and would this be Anne's last on screen appearance? thats so sad too

i predict the show will end with her reclaiming her career and snapping - eating the **** up with all the hot new music that they made and then her label killing him, 

Dyanne also flopping hard like the leach that she is/ what she deserves. 

 

and Jocelyn looking like the best damn ***** in LA once more, while smoking and dissociating. close-up. credits. applause.

 

we’d love to see it!

 

(**** ART CENSORSHIP popping on the screen as a statement in the end would also be super cool! considering some of y’all are pressed like old car buttons.)

I lowkey defended this mess after the first episode but it has gotten WORSE over the course of this series. Literally, how could The Weeknd come up with such a SHITTY concept and got people to actually finance this dip sh1t show?????

Nothing makes sense and I’m sure HBO cut up the episodes to make the “season” shorter and now everything is even WORSE.

 

And I’m sure the original series was probably good enough if these porn addicts hadn’t decide to change everything. The Weeknd should pay for this, and I mean in a bad way!!!! I need him to flop miserably next era

I just read a bunch of articles from when the show was announced and every single one says six episodes.

Did it do so badly that they cut it down? Did HBO see that there‘s absolutely no plot and said five is enough? 

I’m pretty sure the show was re-edited after its premiere. Nothing makes sense and you can tell some stuff got jumped like where the **** did all those people living in the house came from?  

 

HBO probably made them cut so many things (thank GOD) and made it 5 episodes only to end this ******* torture.

The beneficiaries of the "nepotism"/"fragile men" are the ones who came up with the concept to begin with. The entire show originated with them. They didn't "ruin" it, they delivered it exactly as they envisioned it. Every version of the show would still have felt like...this.

[Ivan_brit]

No one told me this was only 5 episodes WTF??

 

Anyway.... I like this episode, just remove the fingering part & it could had been really good

 

Destiny come on ***** I need to end Tedros ASAP!!

 

Tedros ponytail keep looking nasty every episode, It was also satisfiying to see him sad & mad by the end of the episode

 

Xander scene was hard to watch

 

Jocelyn is a damn mess   Leia will do something next episode me thinks!!
