ATRL Moderator Samson Posted July 3, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted July 3, 2023 This Frankensteined ass ending I guess the Rolling Stone article was more or less true The way this was the best episode of the whole show because there was finally some conflict but even then it still sucked Several plotholes and cliffhangers with absolutely no resolution Good riddance

Maybe she was part of the original plot by the initial female director that got scrapped? That would make sense. Consider it a bullet dodged.

Vignesh Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 This stitched together ending was the pits. But a whole lot better than episodes 2, 3 and 4.
Psycho Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Episode 1 > 2 > 5 > 3 > 4 The finale definitely felt chopped together. Wish it would have been 6 episodes.

The show had 6 episodes when Amy Seimetz was the showrunner, since the reshoots the show had 5 episodes

perfectillusion204 Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 I was LOLing when Troye's character goes up to sing last. Quite literally saving the worst for last (I love Troye but out of all of the opening acts he is probs the worst lol)

The basic summary of what happened: Sam and Abel create the show together with Reza Fahim They hand over to Joseph Epstein to showrun and write the scripts Amy Seimetz is hired to direct The show goes into production Abel isn't happy about the direction Joseph Epstein has taken the story in and presumably tells Sam they need to fix things Sam comes back and takes over both writing and directing. He throws out Joseph's scripts, writes new episodes, and directs them himself Edited July 3, 2023 by TheFireLexus 1
ariananext Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 I have yet to watch the finale but the show looked much better at the beginning imo, with the scenes of Jocelyn performing and everything it seemed more interesting, it turned out boring
popularmoonlight Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 The story was there, the incredible potential was there, the finale was actually heading to an “””interesting good”””” ending and they still managed to butcher it They really messed up the writing, I see there was something happening but they had a very hard time connecting the dots. I guess that’s Sam’s complete fault because he did the same thing with Euphoria S2, he had no idea how to actually move things foward with things that made sense. He should study screenwriting, he needs it. Too bad we lost what could’ve been a great show. I guess that’s authentic to what happens to our also lost pop stars lol

Taylucifer Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Tried to love this show but it’s downright awful… wtf was that finale? Saw Tiktoks saying the audience at The Weeknd concert had no idea what was going on while the concert scene from the show was being filmed, someone commented that they thought it was a Make a Wish thing Edited July 4, 2023 by Taylucifer

ALA Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 I was in the audience of that LA show I had a vague feeling it was for the show but yeah it was so random with no explanation nnn the finale was a mess. I don't even know how to process it. The very ending would've been interesting had Jocelyn and Tedros had an genuine bond/relationship but

Leptine Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Awful finale They didn't even try to put some effort in this terrible frankesteined mess they did with this final episode editing Too bad because this really could have been a good show about the music industry.

The ratings were mediocre and no awards potential or critical acclaim that majority of HBO shows aim for.
