the reason Weekend thought it was "too feminine" at first is because it was originally written by a woman, but he didn't like that so he eventually got her to leave the project and that's why Sam The Creep Levinson is on now. It went from a female-led perspective to a male gaze fantasy

I hate that Abel said that too, but HE wrote the original script, not a woman. Originally there was a female director tho, and after Sam took over he also rewrote the entire series. People have said that the original script was way better and that The Weeknd didn’t touch it since Sam hopped onto the project. Just something that the person said in the rolling stone article that people seem to look over.

Then y'all let him get so big for his britches he wrote Malcolm & Marie.

I totally agree that Levinson adds sexually explicit writing in his shows when it doesn’t necessarily add to the plot. I don’t think the Maddy “pretending” she didn’t hookup with a guy to make Nate jealous was a bad idea. Throughout the show these characters make undeniably reckless decisions, but we as the audience are able to see the consequences of them. Maddy selfishly lied about that situation and an innocent guys life was ruined. We also see how Cassie’s constant need for male validation leads her down a path of betrayal to her closets friend. He has some really cool ideas that have the potential for a great story. I think where he goes wrong is he uses an absurd amount of nudity to attract viewers rather than solely relying on good writing.

I felt the same. Some ppl might argue that this is a good acting but here’s the thing. The Weeknd doesn’t seem affected by his character. We know his character is kinda a r@pist, manipulative and overall an intensely crazy character. So many actors who play intense roles like joaquin pheonix as joker, kate winslet in the reader, evan peters as jeffrey dahmer, zac efron as ted bundy, etc, they’re all affected and some are traumatized by their crazy characters. Cuz obviously its hard to act as something that serious and something you are FAR not…… But the Weeknd as Tedros felt real, he’s comfortable in playing the role, he seems proud of it and he seems….way too natural.

About Sam Levinson's tendency to nudity: Kennie Jd actually said one thing on a video about Euphoria and i quote "you can't just do things for the sake of being 'real'. Like, everybody shower naked. But u don't have to actually show someone naked in the shower for the audience to know they showered. U know what i mean? U dont have to show n*pples or the genitalia, you CHOOSE to do so. And in Sam's case, as well as most of the portrayals of nudity in the media, is useless. It doesn't add anything to the story, it doesn't actually play into portraying the character. (For example: if she's free spirited and all that, doesn't realise she's being exploitaded, a better way to convey that sense of "oh i dont mind nudity i am comfortable with it" would be her not minding about the picture that much, UNTIL she sees the actual results in her career and repercussions of it online, and be "OH. People are being sexist to me and all because of that f*cking picture." It would have more depth than just getting her naked all the the time. Its such a lazy way (not to mention problematic) to portray that. Same thing with Euphoria (and there its even more concerning and yikes because they're portraying TEENAGERS and that's disgusting, even if the actors are 25 years old). All of Sam Levinson's work falls into this abyss of "oh but its the reality, his shows are genuine and REAL". Like, does he actually need to be so graphic about Tedros being so fucking disgusting and r*pey to say "well, be careful ladies, because this is our r*pe culture in society and u must be careful and we must fight it"???? Like, do we really think this is it?

So I ask myself what she told to her daughter about this kind of roles? Didn't she warn her about the categorization of actresses on thier physic? How could she have a carier when her youth and beauty will fade away? Look Megan fox?

The funny thing is, it's just generic porn brained narcissism from both of them. It's not edgy or shocking, it's just the same old run of the mill degenerate fantasies shared by every other porn addict. Sam and Abel are just using their position as cultural influencers to aestheticize and normalize their personal kinks. That's the goal. It's not art, it's propaganda designed to convince women to have the type of harmful, pornified sex they want with them. These shows are supposed to teach girls everyone sends nudes, anal is pleasurable for women, being choked by your partner is hot and romantic. Blah blah blah. It lures in teenagers with a glossy sheen and celebrity cameos, and pretends to be portraying "real life". But it's just grooming, really. "This is sex, this is the adult world, better make yourselves comfortable with it, girls! Remember, nothing's hotter than when YOU want it, so he doesn't have to be a creep and ask you! (And it'll be harder to make people care if it goes wrong. Huh.)" And as we see with Euphoria, a generation of wannabe Cool Girls will buy right into it and happily objectify themselves for the male gaze. They've been so brainwashed by sex positivity, hookup culture and choice feminism, they can't see what's wrong with it, or how they're being used to further the agenda of two Hollywood sleazeballs we will all have to pretend to be shocked over when they are inevitably exposed as sexual predators in five years time. When are we as a society going to stop worshipping obvious creeps like this as auteurs? Are we really so wowed by pretentious filmmaking and the same predictable collection of fetishes? Stop handing these guys power, ffs.

"The Weekend" isn't much different from his Character on the show,"The Idol". I read your comments and I am impressed, you guys are smart! You called it, he IS a creep in real life. We all know Levinson is! Poor Lily. She agreed to this show with a completely different script. She was under contract and HAD to do it even when Fatso rewrote it so he could basically demean her as much as possible. I'm offended every time this freak implies he is anything like Prince, cause HE IS NOT!

@@AidenXOTWOD 💞Aww, you are very sweet. Just to let you in on the word from L.A. and the music industry. It is pretty much common knowledge that Able ,The Weekend, is the kind of man that looks at women and treats them as sex objects. He has had this reputation as long as he has been on the scene. I live part time in Hollywood and my Boyfriend is in the music industry. So we are quite involved and know a lot of people in show business. Word just gets around.

I personally think that the offensive elements in the show isn't the main thing that makes it bad, it is that THE SHOW IS SO DAMN BORING! The only watchable non-boring parts in the first episode is the conversations/dialogue among Jocelyn's team themselves - they bounce off each other well, and it actually feels realistic. The other parts of the show feels like there is no substance to it, no plot, no purpose, just a long, boring, beautifully-shot music video.

She's much more provocative and that's completely out of her comfort zone. Lily Rose Depp and Abel Tesfaye were a bit lackluster, but nonetheless, they still did what they could in hopes of saving this entire show from further demise. Great video as always.

Like I don’t think he adds anything to the plot, in fact he ruins it and cheapens the story. I think this could’ve been a really heavy and deep show without all of the unnecessary weird porno stuff. And I think they could’ve really touched on the way the industry does things without the whole cult storyline. To me it’s extra and adds nothing. I can tell The Weeknd wanted to be a main character but in all reality it takes away from the plot. This is just my opinion! And I say that as a Weeknd Stan.

But its a personal thing. Now, after watching about 6 videos on youtube about people talking about it, im so glad i didn't even try. I couldn't stand Euphoria that long, i stopped like in the 5 episode of the first season i think, because i love and root for Rue so much but its unbearable.
