Has anyone watched The Idol?

Wtf! Torture, assault, blatant misogyny. It's degrading, dehumanising, packed full of rape fantasies for sick men.

I can't believe this is getting air time?!

The songs written for it are packed full of lyrics encouraging choking, spitting in mouths, abuse. I genuinely feel like this show is the just The Weeknd and Sam Levinson acting out their twisted fetishes.

The sex scenes are so uncomfortable I can't actually watch them. Suffocation, choking, assaulting women whilst passing it off as rough sex.

It scares me that young girls and women will watch this and thinking this is ok, because they will watch it, Euphoria is a hugely popular series with older girls/younger adults also directed by Sam Levinson. It was an intense series but nothing like this. This entire show is anti-women. I'm disgusted!

It is disturbing viewing. I'm surprised the actors involved went ahead with the whole thing.

Is this one with the Johnny Depp’s daughter?

I absolute will not watch it (everything I’ve heard about it has been againts my will and sounded horrible).

But if it’s her/doing those kind of scenes, I’m suprised.
Although her father is a violent misogynists, so it could also explain it..

It is! Her and the artist, The Weeknd. It truly is depraved. I've never seen anything like it. I hadn't heard about it, it just was advertised on most popular tv of the week bit on sky. I was honestly speechless.

It's supposed to shock. Wasn't it to show how the industry really is?

JamSandle · 26/06/2023 18:48

I refuse to.

Not watched but I can't imagine it's much worse than things like American Psycho that have been around for decades.

JimnJoyce · 26/06/2023 22:06

i just started watching it tonight. Def not my bag.

CrumpetsBeotch · 26/06/2023 22:21

With an aggregate rating of 25% on Rotten Tomatoes chances are it's pretty shite.

I’ve seen the trailers but I haven’t watched it and don’t intend to (mainly because the two leads don’t seem like believable actors and have zero charisma).

It's been poorly reviewed by most critics so I suspect that barely anyone is watching it.
