THE IDOL: An Obscene Autopsy

I think Lily-Rose is just a nepo-baby. Not really attractive and doesn't give that much on camera but I'm just a nobody 😂

This show is just an abuser’s fantasy/lie they tell themselves, that all along the victim was the one in control and the real abuser.

Tedros is one of the biggest problems for me and making him a vital role was a big mistake. I could probably chalk it up to The Weeknd’s acting but his over exposure through the story feels like a decrease in quality and a work in debauchery. I could see a storyline for him stretch like two or three episodes but I wish they would’ve focused on the actual idol and had more moments like the emotional breakdown at the shoot. Really show the issues of artists rather than a weird hypothetical that takes over the plot.

I don't actually think they rerecorded Original Sinner: the "updated" track just sounds like they added mic fry and compression, not actually a different track lol

'Hes Kinds RAPEY…."

OH That will age well i can guarantee

I can't believe we all just let the Weeknd direct a dumbass show as an excuse to kiss Lily Rose Depp

this is the Velma of music scene.

I almost paid HBO max to watch this….. now im just gonna get my bad acting fix from Uncut Gems…. let's all accept it Abel's acting is horrible

What are they called?

The dumb talentless Kum buckets ruined it.. everything he touches turns gold except buckets

i couldn't get through the video to find out whether or not the complete erasure of the female perspective was talked about. this to me is the show's biggest down fall and to not address the elephant in the room was unbearable. to tell this story of an emotionally and physically abused young woman who is fighting barrier to an extremely sexist and predatory industry without the input of a woman is INSANE. how can men possible understand the nuances??? that is why the sex scenes felt gratuitous and fetishizing – another issue that isn't talked about.

the sexual assault scenes and nudity all feels like an absolute fetishization.

Sometimes HBO has amazing artistic shows and sometimes its shows are just theatre of the unsettling.

Call me "uncultured" I guess but idk if a woman being sexually objectified and abused by a convicted grapeist for the sake of """"art"""" is the otherworldy highly intelligent take that people think it is.

I almost always hate a “so and so doesn’t exist/this was a dream” twist post fight club but for a show this bad that would have been nice

amy rose depp looks soo much like jhonny its crazy , she not only resembles him facially, she mirrors akot of his iconic gestures and personality flawlessly, especially in some of the dramatic scenes i was seeing many of her fathers past characters overlaying her face like a spittin image , if i didnt already know she was depps daughter im pretty sure i would have noted the similarity nonetheless

the weeknd feels like hes playing a darker cooler version of what he wants to be. so the whole time he just comes off like a creep, explicitly considering he rewrote the show
