The Idol Aired The Worst Finale in TV History

[@woosyy]

The fact that the female abuse victim turned out to be the "villain" and the male abuser the "victim" tells me more than enough about the people who wrote the script for this show.

Ngl, I tried interpreting the show/finale and character arcs so many times in my brain cause I thought ok Sam Levinson/The Weeknd are smart and creative and maybe we missed the point but honestly, the show is a mess.

So I was right, Jocelyn was the real villain since the beginning and now we are supposed to feel bad for Tedros now ? This is the worst show I’ve ever seen. Now I get why The Weeknd found that the original story made by the female director was too much into a « female perspective » because he didn’t wanted Jocelyn to be the victim but his own character. This whole thing makes me fucking sick and by the way, what happened to Rob, Leïa ? They spent the whole time showing pointless music montage instead of telling a real story it’s so annoying, just like Euphoria. Speaking of Euphoria, this reminds me when they said that 14 y/o Maddy lost her virginity with a 40 year old man but she was the one in control like wtf ? Or when she sent an innocent man in jail for rape and then it was never brought again just like the Rob story. I think Sam L. needs to be fired

[@wiiplaya25]

You’re not supposed to feel bad for anyone. Who tf would feel bad for Tedros?

Nahh don't tell me you think they're telling you to feel bad for Tedros💀 its pretty clear, atleast to me, that were supposed to see the two of them as shitty and in some sort of power play in ep 4 where Joce came out on top. Still a shitty show though.

[@dextermoore278]

It was horrible how Tedros set up Rob and ruined his Career. Jocelyn knew Tedros did that and she didn't even bother to defend Rob or take his phone calls. Rob genuinely cared about Jocelyn, but she doesn't seem to really care about anyone but herself. This entire Series was a pointless, stupid waste of time. The ending made absolutely no sense at all.

[@gooodmorning4526]

@@LordTitus7 its not a feminist show?? It initially WAS a feminist show, then Levinson and the Weeknd were hired and changed it bc it had "too much female perspective," and the original director and creator left bc of what it became. Certainly, anyone can be a piece of shit, but this "twist" in the end just perpetuates a stereotype about women being conniving and calculated, and makes Tedros, who is an abuser, now the victim bc the protagonist "knew" he was abusing her or something. Even if it was something she wanted, she didn't show that until the end, so until then, he was abusive and showed his true colours. It's also weird for them to be like "yeah he abused her but she was actually in control so its okay." Apparently Levinson has done that before in Euphoria where Maddie lost her virginity at 14 to a 40 year old but they made out like she was in control of the situation rather than a victim of statutory rape.

I feel like the rushed finale actually revealed more plot points than the entire preceding 4 episodes. It’s such a failure of a show

[@celestinebocxtaele2587]

plot holes you mean

[@Miekimn]

“She had it refurbished?” 😂😂😂

[@manasvipreet]

This is like a mysoginistic movie where the male protagonist who was a terrible abuser of people is shown as a "victim" at last and is not at fault and the female protagonist is villified, even though BOTH were extremely terrible people💀

[@danf6513]

Nice repost 👏

Copy & Paste comment

[@priyahisntfunny7534]

What aren’t y’all getting💀 they’re BOTH villians. They’re both manipulative roaches. There is NO victim

[@Hkamerica273]

bruh write something original instead copy and paste

[@acecola8295]

I get the feeling that the original ending before Sam and Weeknd got on board was very similar to this with the two staying together but the subtext was drastically different. The show before this episode showed a woman who'd been abused feel empty after the abuse was over and subconsciously get into a relationship that mimicked that abuse to feel whole again. I got the sense that the intention of the show was originally showing how people can wind up craving abuse because their identity gets drawn up around it. As someone who did write music while being in a toxic environment, you get into the mindset that your music is only worthwhile because of the pain behind it, so when what causes you pain is over you feel an emptiness and lack of identity that makes you wish you had it again. I think the original ending was meant to have that subtext. And then they added the goddamn brush plot twist and the cheesy ass music to their reunion and ruined what would've been a powerful ending about keeping yourself in a cycle of abuse cause you don't see another way to live.

[@maniyang4988]

Dude why would two grown ass men just make a show about grooming women into doing whatever sexual indecencies they want just for the manipulator to be seen as a victim at the end UNLESS THEY WANNA BE SEEN AS VICTIMS FOR THE VERY ACTIONS THEY ARE PORTRAYING

[@okoyejudith1981]

So what purpose does Jennie's character have at the end of the day?

[@thirstaefortae5057]

Honestly most of the characters served no purpose 😂

[@yentl]

None, she was just in there to get ppl to watch the show

[@symonew33]

There was absolutely no reason for Zander to still be around after what they did to him. Also was the purpose of making him complicit in Rob’s accusations so that we would forget that the show implied he was assaulted after the shock collar incident?

[@contagiousremorse]

No way did jocelyn choose freakin' Tetris straight after she yelled "im going to kill you"💀

[@Ryusevi]

This finale was so stupid, nonsensical, anticlimatic and just BAD. Like first we have to listen to all these songs and random grinding and then she‘s like MAKE SURE HE CAN NEVER COME CLOSE TO ME AGAIN and then WELCOME THE LOVE OF MY LIFE TEDROS with no hint that she didnt mean it the first time or anything. And then leia randomly leaves as well and that at the end was supposed to be her big emancipation moment? God.

[@amberwingtundrawing776]

I cant stand the twist, i knew they were gonnna do it. "The victim was actually a master manipulator this whole time" sucks so much ass

[@amberwingtundrawing776]

IT ALSO DOEANT EVEN MAKE SENSE HERE??? He was torturing people when she wasn't even in the room! I hate both of them, I don't feel bad

[@meiilu7799]

they thought they ate with that one

[@HonkHonkler]

What's funny about women claiming they knew this would be the twist... Either that's a sign of how $hitty/predictable female-aimed media writing is (I have ENDLESS list of examples) OR women are projecting something THEY would do because I 100% tell you men like me, Aaron, Jo (and MOST men) really didn't possibly think this is where it would end up. So which is it ladies? Is media "for you" just also this $hit or are you projecting something deep down in you? No the lie of the abuse, but manipulating a man WITH a lie of sympathy? Personally I believe both lol.

[@josukeshair8891]

​@honkhonk2250 You joking, right? 😅Right???...Who hurt you, bro?

[@amberwingtundrawing776]

@honkhonk2250 this is just barely female aimed. The reason I knew is bc its a really cheap twist that's been done a million times

[@transformerstrash8324]

You guys honestly deserve honor medals for going through the things you do. True soldiers.

[@NatBKyiv]

This is the most stupid plot twist I’ve ever seen. It makes no sense! Why would she even needs guy like Tedros? They implied she wanted inspiration though violence, because that’s what her mother did to her. But now they say her mother wasn’t violent. So what did she want from him?

[@batool2000rox]

Maybe they meant that her mom did abuse her, but not with a hairbrush - since her ex mentioned how she was always so careful around her mom

[@infinityandheaven]

jennie’s scenes are so painful to watch

[@khadijafatima722]

11:05 was the exact moment Aaron officially broke his brains over this show😭

[@freddie6307]

6:15 why tedro standing there like a tired soccer mom 💀

[@interlude776]

I think it would’ve been way more interesting if Tedro’s cult fought back against Jocelyn and decided to stay loyal to him, instead of just joining her tour without complaining. They were all fully indoctrinated literally an episode ago, and now we’re supposed to believe that they’re willing to kick him to the curb?

[@pablokult248]

of course the dudes who thought the original script had "too much of a female perspective" would rewrite it so ACTUALLY the woman was a conniving harlot who gets off on being abused and actually manipulated the sensitive misunderstood man with a dark past into abusing her by playing 12-D manipulation chess with every single person in her life... cherry on top is that they dont even give an explantation as to why she'd want to act this way, are we just supposed to assume she was born evil??

[@erenyeagar4686]

thank god for reaction youtubers who pussh thrpugh the whole thing like you guys. it’s thanks to y’all that i can keep myself in conversation about popular but awful things like this.

[@kamrigabriella]

The fact that they filmed the ending scene at one of the weekends actual concert is so funny to me. They said no paid extraa

[@Rayne1bow]

This show really feels like it was written for the writer’s pleasure.

[@puffball4484]

The Idol goes into the "one of the shows of all time" category.

[@justlivin2499]

The idol managed to top Game of Thrones for the worst ending of all time

[@Aaron-kp6kp]

2:12 The way he “laughed” 💀 HUUUU huhuhuHUUU

[@snejanaceneva3455]

for the people asking why are aaron and jo watching the show when they don't like it, it's for us. so we don't have to sit through the pain of watching a full episode. they make it a bit more entertaining at least.

[@Phalguni777]

Damn Sam really wanted to depict men as victims and women as evil, calculated and conniving.. not only with Tedros but also with Rob. Basically showing how women "ruin their lives and they're truly the victims" 🤦‍♀️ 🗑️

[@xarachne8473]

You're saying they can't be those things?

[@kaitlynv6193]

Thank you guys for suffering through this for us 😭😭 I literally physically could not watch this myself

[@Ada318]

The suffering is finally over! Thank you both for going through this for us 🙌🏻

[@silverfoxjxt1532]

*Accurate representation of everyone trying to understand a single sentence of this show* 11:18

[@grasstastesbad]

i must say i got more into this episode because jocelyn finally got control back and kicked tedros to the curb (or so i thought) but i’m just so confused by his character. he’s a cult leader, a pimp, he held a girlfriend hostage and tortured her, but now he’s just some hurt, submissive guy with his tail between his legs? and i’m supposed to believe that?? it doesn’t make any sense. this show just constantly made me ask myself “what are they trying to say?” it’s all over the place

[@aveocado]

The best thing that came out of this show is discovering your channel through it. I look forward to future content. You guys rock and it just feels like hanging out 😭💕 keep going. 👍🏻😊

[@L7nchYTofficial]

6:15 my mom when I didn't clean like she told too. My dad when I didn't get him his wrench, when he asked for it.

[@rose-ui5kx]

They literally sat down and thought this is such a mind blowing idea. Top 10 craziest plot twists of all time🔥🔥

[@jonathanscores6478]

Y'all are literally the only ones that could get me thru watching this horrendous show. Owe y'all alot and thanks for being one of the best KZbinrs out there. Been watchin y'all for a while and wanted to just say thank you guys for always bringing me sum needed laughter fr. All love ❤

[@julesking1303]

Ok but the whole thing about Jocelyn actually being the abuser and not a victim by the end and being a narcissistic liar feels REEEEEALLY fuckin weird considering who Lily Rose Depp’s stepmom was ☠️ Honestly, having a heavily publicized trial about your dad and stepmom’s abusive relationship and then acting in a show where the finale ends like this would feel bizarre and probably a little triggering. I think this only clicked in my brain because Tedros’s messy rat tail wig with the bandana does fully remind me of Johnny Depp’s real hair sometimes

[@gyozagobbler420]

omg yes i was literally thinking about this??!! i wonder what he thinks of it and what he thinks of sam levinson.

[@lovefoolishh]

literally

[@vinn297]

wowowow just saw the last videos are going through the roof with the clicks, happy for u, u guys u deserve it

[@Sam-0827]

I’m low-key still confused about how and why Jocelyn is a villain 💀 like the whole mother plot and the fake brush is so confusing what. Also how tf did Tedros stay at her house after she found out about him and Dyanne😂 what even

[@freddie6307]

2:08 not that beavis and butthead ass laugh lmaooooo

[@tawandajerry1]

The confusion at the end of this video is insane Lmaoo

[@emilyau8023]

Every ounce of me that had a crush on the Weeknd disappeared instantly.

[@samantharose1144]

Same😂😂

[@platypus2141]

Fr

[@joselyn8604]

i like how at the end when shes at her first concert introducing tedros the set stage is just the weeknds actual stage for his tour😂 like the budget didnt allow for them to film at sofi on their own

[@spencerkrell9847]

Thank you guys for allowing me to laugh at this show without me having to watch it and give them viewership. Y’all rock

[@mannabslot]

was so excited to watch this bc i had so many questions after watching the finale and thought maybe i was just missing something obvious, but we're all just as confused as each other lmfao

[@bcray2548]

I clicked so fast because I'm truly curious about how this show could possibly end

[@changuk_biased2010]

Best part “I thought they had beef. Guess it was vegan.”

[@aleynawastaken]

What.. what were they thinking with this twist? What’s the point they want to deliver???

[@l1smm309]

Nobody: The “producers” in this show: ShE’s KiNDa GoOD

[@melissajoan8917]

LMFAO! Aarons face about the hair brush had me screaming 🤣

[@caoimhe3236]

!!! Another fault in the plot !!! ↓↓ Was Troye in on Joselyn's secret too? Why would he get abused by Tedros with the shock collar if Joselyn's mum didnt beat her? Joselyn was mad at Troye(sorry idk his character name) for not standing up for her during her abuse when they were growing up and he clearly knew her mum was beating her. How tf does the ending make sense??

[@honeybea4845]

they changed the director halfway through and it shows 💀

[@jonathanmanley]

I clicked so fast 😭 watching the idol with you two has been my therapy as of late 🫶🏻

[@thevortex-]

These two guys are real life beavis and butthead

[@naugler19]

Thanks!
