Within her Mother abusing her for work and everything, Tedros has unlocked that trauma and will use it to her as a way to “motivate” her like her mom used to do. I mean tbh this show is very uncomfortable and pretty sick, but I do think they do a good job at showing what the music and entertainment is in real life. The staff, team, marketing, friends, family, and etc. exploitation and the constant attention towards you, whether it’s negative or positive. And the people being/acting really sick and vulgar just like that the guy that commented about Einstein, lots of people like that in the industry.

Sad thing is I really love Lily Rose Depp’s acting in all of this, and I feel like this trash of a script and show does not even deserve her incredible talent. She could have so many better roles in other movies and shows

[@mandolen3317]

Troye Sivan's acting is also surprising good.

[@rutho.6282]

Lily needs to choose her roles better 😭 what is this Mrs. Ma’am

[@genesiselaine]

@@mandolen3317 i think everyone but the weeknd and some of the actors playing jocelyn’s team are killing it but the fact this is what the put their talents towards makes me feel,,sad

[@shantoriawashington]

Exactly

[@fairy_floss]

@@mandolen3317he lowkey acted in some of his own stuff I am pretty sure I remember he had like a few music videos that had stories,

[@digitaljorts]

omfg the epstein line was straight up awful and if THAT made the cut... i fear for future episodes... thoughts and prayers to anyone watching the show

[@estherb5954]

the shit HBO included in this episode is literally so disgusting, idk how they got away with it. but thank god y’all can get me through it😭

[@Ada318]

Glad you got this back up, just wanted to say thanks again for watching this for us, you go kings

[@stormie5442]

you go

[@chiquibombom1460]

I just wanna know what it would have looked like if they had kept the original script and director. I hope one day we can get that so that we forgot the monstrosity we got

[@hannahbull]

Right I feel like it could’ve been so good

[@Skyler_Momoko]

Literally - I remember when Troye first announced that he was on the show, it sounded so cool and I was so excited... I really wish we got to see THAT version of the show.

[@oOscarymvsbOo]

I saw this last night when you guys uploaded it to and had to pause at that line because that was truly just insane. The pure disgust that ran across your faces was so appropriate.

[@idrinkpicklejuice8389]

Tbh it prob wouldve been a little bit more interesting if jocelyn were to fall in love with the chef. He would make her see how tedros tedros is abusing her and she would slowly heal inside and it would lead to an epic fight featuring tedros and his toxic ass rat tail versus kind and actually better to look at chef.

[@tokyoyoongi5538]

They should've done that instead of just firing him lol.

[@kimiyanahvi]

-who cooked the meal? They fired the cooker.. what?! + The chef? - yeaaa

[@BlackBirdSinging47]

You guys are the only thing that make this show bearable. It’s so bizarre- I love The Weeknd’s music, but it’s like he loses every ounce of cool the moment he stops singing.

[@PeyloBeauty]

Ngl the only good thing about theweeknd is his music. But not even concert concept, his personality and acting are either satanic, mid and fucking bad

[@toriyt2714]

I’m like dang so Weeknd really is a lame whole time. I would of never thought.

[@oo4758]

@@toriyt2714 He's soft af. It's not a bad thing, just jarring compared to his music

[@User3.3.3]

​@@oo4758so...there's this guy called Drake too...

[@simiki.]

being hit with a hairbrush is such a specific trauma,,,,,,

[@tokyoyoongi5538]

Thought the same thing. Feel like they only chose that object so it could be turned into some "spanking" kink thing.

7:41 Aaron saying dada dada is the cutest thing ever 😭

[@sybill123ful]

the weekend is NOT the actor for the role he’s trying to play. he really thinks he’s that bitch 😭

[@stormie5442]

haha

[@benjirivoh]

The problem is that he is A bitch but not THAT bitch

[@TheRunning2049]

“Throw hands with a cancer patient” is probably one of the funniest lines idk if I should’ve laughed at😭😭😭

[@ok-lo9pl]

why am i not even surprised that this show is going round and saying slurs in it

[@ok-lo9pl]

the Epstein line too ew ew ew absolutely disgusting

[@annlynnalison]

Fr

[@itsiranaa]

9:12 " why is troy sivan watching" actually sent me cause WHY IS HE THERE

[@hannahbull]

right 😭

[@nobody-n9s]

I miss those times where nobody knew The Weeknd’s speaking voice

[@Linalinaanil]

I (illegally) hate watched the show up until this episode but I’m definitely gonna stop. This episode, specifically the brush scene especially showed how Sam and The Weeknd just wanted to put their disgusting desires into this show. It was so disgusting and made me feel sick.

[@starjones2765]

When y’all started singing “I am the idol” over the piano I fucking dieddddd

[@madeleine.stevens]

I just stumbled upon these guys a week ago, and you guys are genuinely so funny. The reactions are funnier than the actual show

[@illtakeapotatochipandeatit7838]

4:02 I literally randomly sing this all the time, they infected me😭😭😭

[@makaronmadownahihi]

The more i watch it the more i want to send levinson on rehab.

[@nayaabshah1155]

More like prison

[@freddie6307]

rehab?!?! mf needs PRISON

[@eewwnerd]

2:53 💀 this is so funny WHY IS HE DOING THAT

[@phaedratemmis8169]

this show is actually so insane it's only somewhat bearable when i watch ya'll's videoes

[@seaofclematis]

my mom was a giant weeknd fan. she and i absolutely adore your channel. we watched every video you have made about the idol and safe to say, she hates the weeknd now

[@Chicoyo21]

Same here

[@user-ec5yd2ld4p]

Y'all that Epstein line literally made me feel ill. I cannot remember the last time a piece of media has done that to me. Holy crap, how did they let that out of the first draft? How did they let that IN to the first draft?

[@Cavatappi]

Some rich guy read this watt pad story thinking it’s romantic and turned it into a tv show. Also it upsets me that they can’t give Lily Rose-Depp a functioning wardrobe. Are her clothes representative of her character or are they just doing it for eye candy idk

[@RandomSwiftie13]

And that's not even how Pop Stars dress. They wear fully functioning and CUTE clothes most of the time. They have designers lined up for them... Joselyn's outfits are just embarrassing.

[@mk52211]

Well thats what Tedros said to her that she doesnt have style

[@toomuchinformation]

Both.

[@gojiplusone]

6:41 Facial (Taylor's version)

[@Nicki_Gee]

I just go around singing “I am the idol, the idol, idol” all the time now thaaaaanks for that

[@belenbarria568]

The Weekend really thought this would be his big break into acting and instead it's distroying his whole career

[@kurtsnirvana0534]

this show is like an Episode game come to life, only I don’t get to make any choices and it’s all against my will…

[@idrinkpicklejuice8389]

So it IS like episode, unless you have pockets full of diamonds to alter the story

[@Etherealzyo]

Lol

jesus christ that r slur caught me SO off guard

[@heyitsanna4982]

✨ I've been manipulated 100 times ✨ I feel so bad for Lily having to endure being that close to Abel

[@LordTitus7]

Turns out Jocelyn (Lily) was doing all the manipulating

[@catherineebunilo4915]

4:32 that line had me. Plot update: what really is going on?😂😂😂

[@satoru_rose]

Ngl I enjoy Lily Rose Depp's acting in this show, I wish the show could explore more about Jocelyn as a character, her past relationship with her mother, how she became an artist, her hobbies, how she became friends with Dyanne, etc, instead of giving Tedros more screentime as the show goes on, what a waste

[@shantoriawashington]

Exactly

[@Vittaivi]

Her acting is great, I'm begging that after this they give her the chance to not act in this type of media again. I want to see more of her acting but if all her works is like this...

[@doeeyes2]

I wish she wasnt buck naked in every scene

[@RandomPerson-ky9rx]

Exactly everything about the show is great except Tedros which’s takes up 80 percent of the episode and it’s really frustrating and annoying because out of the two plots present in the show the actual good one gets no attention 💀

[@TheUnderBelly560]

“It’s Kanye’s producer” he sounds like a 10 year trying to brag with some lie💀

[@mpazinambao2938]

I dont know how she didn't fall for the chef instead.

[@pablokult248]

these episodes could be 15 minutes long with how little actually happens in each episode

[@hiiii7859]

Your guys reactions just get funnier and funnier each episode 😭😭

[@thatcece08]

7:58 LMAOOO YALL are so funny so glad I found this channel ♥️

[@mddskat]

The dinner scene was actually so well acted by LRD and then they had to ruin the entire episode with that fucking hairbrush 🤨🤨🤨

[@Emy-fv5ny]

That was just a moment 95% of what happens in each episode is cringe.

[@AlessandraCAmaro]

I feel bad for Troye Silvan, he is probably regretting his life decisions

[@society7149]

nah, he willingly stayed knowing how much of a shit show this was

[@Skyler_Momoko]

I know right, he's such a talented person and then this lmao

[@crowquet56]

​@@society7149lol he's probably in a contract

[@no_s3rvic34]

Yeah I’m not blaming any of the actors for staying once Sam took over. We have no clue how binding the contracts were. I feel bad for them though bc everyone else is way better at this than the weekend and he ruined it for all of them.

[@Dorsia.]

bro the label its forcing him 😢

[@indieartistcharles6465]

Back at it again lol. I’d love to see you guys make fun of the ENTIRE show (if you go through with it of course) 💀

[@Skyler_Momoko]

Same I wanna see them watch the whole show

This show is an absolute disaster but it’s enjoyable when I watch it with you guys. I feel like im friends with you guys.

[@wherethequietbeingsgo]

Real

[@jendowden]

I agree, they’re making it way more manageable for me to watch since I don’t want to watch it in the first place.

[@Cybo-18]

That Epstein line had me speechless for a few minutes after I heard it.

[@Dani-lc9hq]

same

[@velvetbrainhaze]

I'm just gonna pray from a delusional perspective that Moses Sumney didn't know jack about the script and just wanted the bag after signing his contract and seeing the drastic change from the original plan but I was so bummed to see him pop up in this gross dumpster fire.

[@RandomSwiftie13]

The cast was contract locked by HBO before Sam levinson came into the picture so yeah... The cast choose to just be in a bad show and make money rather than be in a million dollar lawsuit with HBO.

[@imlieksokewl123]

Man. He really makes beautiful music too, its sad to see.

[@Skyler_Momoko]

Same here but with Troye Sivan... I can't believe he did this lmao

[@no_s3rvic34]

He signed on to the original script not to this garbage. I’m guessing there weren’t many ways out the contract especially so far into filming (show was 80% done before sam came on and changed everything)

[@RandomPerson-ky9rx]

@@no_s3rvic34yeah apparently they threw away over 54 millions dollars worth of film
