Men writing fetish fantasies with women at the center of being fetishized. And all of the things that could’ve been major themes were dumped lazily for mediocre shock value. This show was beyond offensive.

[@watchmydragonproblem6455]

Its not empowering in a healthy way but tempting for people who feel week on their own to lean on fake support created by such cult, there is a reason people find some solace in identifying with others and it creates an illusion that you are better because you have people who will tell you exactly that in order to pull you in as Tedros tried to do for the entire show

The Idol was empty promises: the musical. It wasn’t a unique love story, it barely explored the evil music industry, the cult had the depth of a spoon, and all the twisted aspects of it are surprisingly underwhelming after the fact. Everything about it reads like a melodramatic smutty angst fic I would’ve written when I was 14, but infinitely more boring Edit: Also, totally forgot to say this, but this concept could’ve worked as a season two. Season one would’ve been the scrapped concept where we have Jocelyn being a Disney-esque child star. Her Mom passes in the final episode, she has her psychotic break, and then we start season two with her dark comeback era Also also, Jocelyn could’ve met Tedros in season one and maybe had more of a slowburn with him. Maybe he started fucking Dyanne to get back in her circle post break. The cult is introduced in season two as a parallel to the industry set up in season one. Boom. Potential watchable show. (Also: the show could’ve been structured like the life of a child star. Childish/sinister act 1, hyper sexualized/fucked up act 2, and a more balanced act 3) (if that makes any sense)

This is going backwards, this is bad for all of us.

[@zzoa.]

I agree :/

[@Blitzbrie]

I don't get it, why are we piling on this show for not being something we wanted it to be? It's a really bad criteria to base criticism on. If the ultimate point of the show isn't commentary about exploitation, then so be it. While a story like that would've been nice, don't creators have the right to tell the story THEY want to tell? That's obviously not what they were going for. There's plenty of other media that are exactly what you want, stuff that has been around forever. It's not some new, ground-breaking concept, quite the opposite really. And so what if this show didn't up being another one of those? A piece of media not being what you expected it to be is such a weird reason to criticize something. There's plenty of valid criticisms here, but this ain't one of them. Not everything has to stand for something, let alone the same thing. Variation is a good thing. Sometimes, a story is just that, a story.

[@Megan66666]

@Blitzbrie it's a very important discussion for us to have either way. The reason people are so shocked by it is how many well known names are part of it and how teenagery the script was along with the maturity of the sexual material without the mental aspect to match. Meaning there was little reason for the multitude of them let alone the explicit nature of them to be shown. When the show is advertised as something that does far from deliver the content boils down to pretty basic glamourized porn. And the nature of having a female director at the helm but tossed aside in favor of this supposed exploitation of a woman in a vulnerable position is disappointing. With the amount of pain on this planet involving this industry, not just adults but also children who are taken advantage of, I'm glad people are sharing their personal taste since we are the ones watching. So we can't share our opinion of desiring an elevated more true to life version of what has been happening in Hollywood for a very long time. It's important for us to take a close look at what really goes on, that's how real change happens. Instead it was deeply underwhelming and actually harmful to those who are in these vulnerable positions. We need to wake up and have media that reflects our world. The human traffic trade is a billion dollar industry and that includes kids. If we continue to support shows and media that promotes vulnerable people as the abuser we will doom current and future generations to a very sad existence. There is a place for racey sex scenes and nudity but when the intellectual content is not there to back it up it all it hang on is the sex stuff and unfortunately falls flat. It's very important we discuss what content we support and which fails us when it's dealing with delicate themes such as these. You don't just run through it like a bull in a China shop and expect to be smooth sailing. I hope that helps give you some insight as to why people feel strongly about this. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️

[@shrek3397]

​@@Blitzbrieits because it doesn't make any sense

[@limner123]

Soo, the moral of the show could be that people in the industry are seen as tools to abuse by both men AND women, as both leads turned out to be evil. But that didn’t require GLORIFYING the abuse first, making abuse scenes that were clearly supposed to be sexy. Because that kind of makes the moral “hey you gotta do what you gotta do”.

A few days ago i saw some behind the scenes images of the original cut of the series and MY GOD we were robbed so bad. Lily was looking like late 90s britney spears, it was so cute

[@Forever.Chaotic]

I personally feel that the story would have made a LOT more sense if the final twist was dealt with, with a little more thought. It would have been a far more compelling narrative if the story's twist had been that Jocelyn was taking revenge on everyone in her surrounding for exploiting her; her mother for being abusive, Dyanne for backstabbing her, her management for exploiting her, Rob for cheating on her, and finally, Tedros for...everything he tried to pull. Technically, I think that was what they wanted to pull off... but the reveal that she lied about her mother's abuse, just ended up throwing the entire story off-balance and the motive...almost non-existent. Anyway, bottomline is, Sam Levinson had a lot of potential as a director, but now he REALLY needs to get his feet back on the ground and stop getting cocky just because Euphoria Season 1 and the extra episodes gained mass acclaim. Hubris won't get him anywhere.

[@thelastjerkbender2505]

[@Moretropes11]

[@kphoria1009]

i really don’t think she made up the abuse, i think she replaced the brush with something new because she doesn’t need it to motivate her anymore. her trauma was coded into the show the entire time and her team even confirmed what happened because they saw it firsthand

[@badgalpandamanda]

Exactly cause everyone thinks she lied when in fact she didn’t need the brush of old memories of her mom… she got a new brush for tedros to hit her with 😂

[@karolinat1038]

Omg ... true.

[@HoneyGoldJasmine]

Her mom should’ve been the cult leader and Jocelyn just picked up the mantle when she passed away which would have set it up for Tedros to think he’s controlling things but it’s really Jocelyn softly grooming him into the cult

[@robin_silas]

For me, the ending would be better if Jocelyn became manipulative through the series. Like making it seem like the industry turns you into a bad person and the abused has to become the abuser to survive in this kind of job. I feel like that would be a stronger message.

[@dnikkithatsame5990]

I think Sam’s problem is that too many people blew smoke up his butt with euphoria season one. And now he thinks he’s a great auteur, when he’s just a guy who wrote about his drug use in high school. The idol could have been good if it was done by a more sophisticated hand, including the “twist”.

[@no8924]

Lily played her role amazingly, but the weeknd's acting was just to convincing especially since he was "one of the minds behind the show" like please explain to me HOW you thought to incorporate those specific disturbing scenes that didn't need to be there. The end of the show also would have been really good if while Jocelyn was on stage she came out about everything that she had endured and now her and her friends are safe etc. I think that would have just made more sense and would have at least tied into the original story the show was supposed to follow, which would have talked about Jocelyns experience as a child star and how her mom played a role in that. The ending just felt like they were setting it up for a season two, but what is it going to be about? Basically a repeat of season one with Jocelyns team trying to chase tedros away but with Jocelyn "in control" this time. I don't know I just want the original version.

[@juliagoldschmidt1876]

So the show that was supposed to show the difficult lives of female artists in the music industry and their experiences, hardships and exploitations somehow turned into a “haha every crazy and f*caked up thing happened to the female artist was because she wanted to climb the fame ladder” and “she did it to herself” ?

It's very clear that they didn't want to first of all make a man the villain of the show, but also clearly couldn't think of a good way how to achieve any type of plot twist since Tedros was from the very start revealed as f*cked up to say the least. They just went about this story all wrong and I'm not even shocked it ended up as trashy as it did.

The ending of The Idol was SUPER out of place to me. The Weeknd’s character tedros started off extremely confident, manipulative, and resilient. By the end of it, he seemed like joss was the one beating him with that hairbrush instead LMAO.. Joss’ nipples got more screen time than any meaningful plot events the audience needed to put the pieces of this show together. I would've loved to see an ending where joselyn still takes over the cult and kicks out tedros, he could've set out to get his return on dyanne like he said in the beginning- sabotaging joss and having her label pull through with dyanne doing World Class Sinner as her first single. Leaving the audience rooting for one antagonist or the other.

I think a lot of the unnecessary scenes are events that actually occurred in the weekend’s life. They are very real and necessary to him but I wish he had had better council. People always say write what you know but I think he did this without realizing that he spoon fed way too much of his experiences and didn’t develop why people would care or resonate with the people or story. Sometimes things that mold or are important moments in out lives are not good stories on their own. Idk but I think with time the weekend will be able to move on from this and I bet the backlash will evoke so mad music!

After watching this show, I can’t express how disgusted I am with Abel aka the Weekend’s lyrics. It’s to the point that I deleted any music I had of him ( I only had like 3 songs lol but still) just because I didn’t wanna hear his lyrics. The fact that he defends this project tooth and nail makes it all the more icky for me. Overall the only good thing from this show aside from Lily was the cinematography-very beautiful shots.

[@NIGHTMARE_OG]

I think I definitely perceived this show differently to most people it had dark and unsettling scenes (with the abuse and control) but I also saw the humorous nature of this show it almost confuses your brain though like most unsettling movies or scenes in film where you laugh and feel uncomfortable at the same time, maybe that was the point of the character?? to give you a false sense of safety where you felt as though you could trust Tedros or at least laugh at his ridiculous nature (because he ain't the macho man he's making out to be', the scenes where Jocelyn kinda puts her hand on his shoulder to get him to chill kinda supports this view for me) but then when you see the abuse again, you go back to hating him thinking dang he's messed up.Maybe I'm the only way that see's that but believe or not I didn't think it was a bad watch. its funny if anything, and I'm not taking the series to seriously. people always try to attach too much meaning sometimes when sometimes its just a trash show that you watch for entertainment, a bit like if you've seen 'Skins' or 'shameless uk' (I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE US) as I have never seen it. Also if you have ever seen anuvahood the character 'tyrone' he kinda giving those vibes. I know I've had personal experiences with people who give me tedros vibes like they aren't the nicest people, you laugh with them at times but really you don't feel safe around that person as they are so unpredictable and could smack you the next minute with no reason so it does kinda express the abusive unsettling nature of tedros to me (maybe its just me but.. yeah). if you have had mental health struggles surrounding abuse or have been mentally, physically or verbally/emotionally abused you may get the message, but I don't suppose everyone will. (I've been in abusive relationships so I know what i'm talking about) lmao.

We gotta convince Amy to leak her version we don’t care!!!! This idol was trash!!!! How can a man speak on women in the business when he keep’s sexualizing them? No thanks Sam… but we need Amy’s version frfr!

What's interesting is that for me I can move on from the toxic nature of the show, if it had anything decent or smart to say but no, it was boring as hell with soft core p*** scenes... also The Weeknds acting was laughable at best, didn't care for his character at all.

the way that i’ve been waiting for this.

I’m so glad I didn’t bother watch the rest and very happy this awful, cringe too much movie is over. However, I’m mad cause the original creator before Sam had a version but they cut her off and change the script. The idol could have excellent potential if the original creator was still there instead of Sam and Abel.

Felt like the stars couldn't commit to the show so they ended it at a wekend concert .fast forward through things. They set up best Friend up to be jealous. I think they would have played it out like Selena where the best Friend kills her. Or like Amy winehouse where she dies for self indulging. The plot they made it was like Lilly had a movie coming up and Abel had to get back to being a pop star.

The Shows that makes you think - aren't bad

[@jamesmarie]

Ya’ll, the creators, the lords work because after the trailer I wasn’t sitting through The Idol. Levinson needs to step back from writing and focus on cinematography and directing.

[@pinkest1020]

I definitely thought I was the only one who stopped liking the Weekend after watching this

[@dancefree5627]
