Review of The Idol

The Idol (2023)
1/10
omg so edgy: meh
6 June 2023
The show is so bad that hbo staff had to create hundreds of accounts to go rate on reviews websites so it doesn't show the real rating 1/10. Depp's daughter can't act, but it's probably the role of her life since she also has daddy issues. The korean girl can't act, but they want the kpop cult watching it (although by the recent news, it seems it backfired, the fans are mad lol). The weeknd can't act, but they want to use his songs. There's not even one good character in this show, they are all horrible, starting with the variety trans making everybody feel sick. The producers want to attract the "omg so edgy, so sexy wow" audience, but the truth is, that audience right now is busy with other activism and won't have time to defend this super disgraceful show with no substance. This is like a tiktok commercial show sponsored by taylor swift fans. It's an old formula, everybody knows... "omg poor girl, it's not her fault, the media did this to her, the father and men in her life did this to her", we saw this before thousands of times, it's old. But at least some movies/shows have actually a plot and good characters. Here there's nothing and no one can act. A huge failure by HBO. Hard to believe that after Succession they would launch something so bad, the entertainment hollywood industry is in crisis.
