The Idol, the pathetic creation of Sam Levinson and The Weeknd, presents itself as a prime example of a show that misses the mark on multiple levels.

From its inception, it was clear that the creators had a vision that was as self-indulgent as it was misguided. The Weeknd's alleged egomaniacal behaviour on set only adds to the sense of disillusionment surrounding the series.

The show's explicit sex scenes, which have been widely criticised, serve no meaningful purpose other than shock value!

It's disheartening to witness individuals like Levinson and The Weeknd resort to such gratuitous tactics instead of focusing on compelling storytelling. The decision to abandon feminist-leaning storylines in favour of a questionable new direction resembling a "r*pe fantasy" is deeply troubling and showcases a lack of sensitivity and awareness.

Furthermore, the series seems to revel in its own incompetence. From its lacklustre writing to its questionable performances, The Idol falls flat in nearly every aspect. The narrative lacks coherence and fails to engage viewers, leaving them perplexed and disappointed.

It's truly disappointing to witness the squandered potential of a show that had all the resources and buzz to make an impact. Instead, the mess of a show stands as a glaring example of creative missteps and the dangers of unchecked egos.

As viewers, we deserve better than this chaotic mess masquerading as entertainment!
