I decided to watch episode 2 and episode 3 of The Idol, the new HBO and Max show from Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, starring Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Lily-Rose Depp. This was not a good decision!
0:00 – intro
2:40 – previously on the idol
4:17 – episode 2
17:06 – episode 3
30:55 – conclusion
oh i forgot to mention that the weeknd said this in an interview: “tedros is that superego that we as men wanna stay away from as much as possible, that’s inside of us and we just gotta kill that”… like nah speak for yourself because that self-report is CRAZY 💀
he should’ve just stayed with his music career
Holy shit 💀does bro mean the id
Balls
yikes 😭
2 minute gang!!!!!
thank you for watching this show for us! i recommend Summer Camp Island for some good eye bleach (: made by an artist who worked on Adventure Time, it’s a very calm and wholesome show with some great lore than sneaks up on you.
OMG !!HI ily so muchhh You’re videos are Soo entertaining and funn to watch ILY !!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
thank you for the recommendation, i definitely needed it
Me: watches dead end park and adventure time on loop
Also me: lemme add in a lil sumn sumn
hbo is insane for cancelling that but going through with the idol. summer camp island is my comfort show
illy coming in with her sunshine through the storm energy ✨🙏🏽
At the part she called out for her mum, I actually saw so much potential in this storyline.😢😢😢 and this show really has a problem of its side characters being so much more interesting than the main character
Yes omg, calling her mom had me think “hm, maybe it won’t be as bad” and here we are with the next episodes 🫣
Honestly same, and that scene made me especially sad seeing that LRD actually might have some real acting potential if she’s given material that’s actually in any way good 😢
I can’t see this show helping her career in any way, from the terrible dialogue to the abhorrent plot and character development, it feels like it will just stop her from ever being taken seriously as an individual and paint her as just another nepo baby seeking the limelight, and as someone who will take any role that brings attention to her name, even if it’s controversial for controversy’s sake. If the original script was really more female centred and empowering as we’ve heard it was, it feels like she may have actually intended to create a meaningful project as her big acting debut, and yet this is the reality we’ve ended up with.
it could’ve been good if it explored her grief and trauma. Tedros was unnecessary
@Rachael Fitzpatrickthis is not her acting debut she’s done a few indie films and some French movies as well as The King on Netflix with Timothee chalamet
Her crying for her mom was actually heartbreaking
Probably the only or one of the only good scene in that whole show
Hearing the “it was too feminist” allegations and seeing some of the good scenes and the good acting in this show tells me this could have been an absolute masterpiece
legitt
not with the week-end acting in it
@sullithis is such a massive reason
Now I’m upset ’cause we can’t live in the alternate timeline in which we actually have that instead of this horseshit.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a Korean drama about an autistic woman who becomes a lawyer. It’s touching, funny, emotional and extremely well-written and acted. I had tears in my eyes more than once, but they were cathartic. This is the kind of show that gives you faith in the goodness of humanity and I think would work well to bleach your poor poor eyes
I literally came to the comment section to recommend this show! It was such a drama and touched the basis on so many relevant topics.
I love that show!
I second this!!! and it’s also super super accurate too, even tho the main actress isn’t actually autistic and just did a ton of research to make sure she presented it correctly. Super super wholesome series
I love this show so much!! It had me crying 😭💜
This show is weirdly inspirational, it shows that anyone can make better content than what Sam Levinson puts out
This comment is honestly so funny😂😂😂😂
Yes!! The only thing he ever does, is show off women’s naked bodies, not for the plot but just because he wants to. There’s so many nude scenes that are literally pointless. It feels so exploitative because it really is. It feels like he hired people that he wants to see naked.
😂😂😂
Euphoria is a great show though
@Maxineno, it’s not. It’s a mediocre show only helped by the attractiveness of it’s characters. It was even more mid after Sam Levinson finished copying the original idea for Euphoria s1, & the fuel ran out cause it was never his idea to begin with.
It’s almost meta how a show about female exploitation by creepy men in Hollywood became a reality show about female exploitation by creepy men in Hollywood
It’s almost darkly amusing that the men objected to being made to look like predators and then turned around and wrote a show that makes them look even more like predators.
This show is incredible in how terrible it is. It attempts to comment on the exploitation of women in Hollywood, by exploiting women…
Incredible.
@Abigail RoweKinda like how Cuties was about child exploitation while being even worse than child exploitation
@Random Nerd cause there was ACTUAL child exploitation in it lol. Always agreed with Charlie. the simple change of literally just not using real kids would have changed so much
@Random Nerdit’s awful but i wouldn’t say even worse knowing how child exploitation is??
Even just hearing D’Angelo talking about this show made me ill and sick to my stomach. Not forgetting the sheer horror of the fact that such content was ALLOWED to be on media in the first place.
I feel like they not only romanticize abuse but they invalidate the feelings that people might have toward abusive parents.
They give such a shallow glance at how a kid who was abused might still care about their abuser. They really had such a chance at actually diving into the tangle of emotion and trauma that comes with the passing of an abusive parent. But instead they decide to focus on making it about the rattail cult being yesmen to a toxic relationship
It seems more about how a predator would be so into a vulnerable victim and not about that victim’s experience
@Emily Robinsonstill trash show and still terribly written try again.
@Raccoon that… was me criticizing it??
