L'idole

I was in on the first 30 mins of Episode 1 but then this idiot with a rat tail appeared and disbelief was unsuspended. What a buzz kill. I know this is a vanity project and I hope he reads this.

Sam Levinson is a great director and every shot looks great, but he cannot write for women. The female characters are avatars for male fantasy and their dialogue is cringe worthy. But how can he be exploiting women if he is making a show about men in power exploiting women, lol.

Also did we really need a scene where an intimacy coordinator was locked in a bathroom. Is this a drama or a satire?

Free Lily! Free Sidney!

This only gets 3 stars from me because it's clear that Lily-Rose is doing the best she can with what she was given. But my goodness, this was a painful watch. Abel Tesfaye was severely misscast which makes this awkward, since the entire thing was his idea. Levinson's vision feels contrived, lacking every bit of that magic he created with Season 1 of Euphoria. The show just misses the mark, relying on nothing but nudity and shock value. The dialogue is vapid, the story is misguided. Points for lighting and camera work but that's about it. There are better shows to watch out there. This one isn't worth your time.

Don't bother with this show, listen to the neg reviews it's really bad. There is no depth to any of the characters, even the decent veteran actors couldn't help that script. LRD is beautiful but the character is so poorly written im not sure even with her dads talent she could have done any better.

The Weekend was as bad in this as he is good at music.

The coolness was really lame and contrived like it was written by high school students with a big budget to make a series as an elevated school project.

I won't persevere and if you are reading this trust me when I say don't bother. Maybe for 5 mins if you are curious.

This gives me high school play vibes with lots of nudity, sex and shock value with absolutely no content. I think they thought they will just add a lot of famous last names to the mix and that will do it, but this is really bad. The plot is incredibly not interesting, the actors have very little to work with so no wonder that they come out as doing a bad job. But I don't know if any actor would save it. I was tired after 10 minutes, but I thought I would give it a benefit of a doubt. At 20 minutes something inside of me was breaking. It's clear now that Sam Levinson cares only about aesthetics which is not my kind of tea anyway and not much about content. The dialogs are like an AI idea of what a human dialog should be. This is really embarrassing for everyone involved.

Rather than being over the top, explicit or hard to watch it ends up being dull and cringy.

The writing feels straight out of a WattPad fanfic, in fact, I've read better fanfic.

The show tries really hard to act like they know what they're doing with the cringe, but it ends up falling flat as nothing becomes of it. Just bad writing, boring story and terrible messages.

The 10 star reviews on here are very obviously faked to boost scores. There isn't one aspect about it, writing, acting, cinematography, controversy that would give it even a 5, let alone a 10.

Boring. Dull. Don't bother. Waste.
