The Idol, Starring Lily-Rose Depp & The Weeknd, Faces Backlash For Alleged ‘Filth Of A Show’ & ‘Atrocious’ Quality

Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd’s collaborative project, “The Idol,” has encountered a wave of criticism from the audience following its premiere. The show, which generated significant buzz due to its Cannes Premiere and provocative content, has failed to impress viewers, leading to a barrage of negative feedback. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the influence of male writers in shaping the narrative of young actresses.

Synopsis

“The Idol,” helmed by Sam Levinson of “Euphoria” fame, stars Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd in prominent roles. The series revolves around a renowned pop star who undergoes a tumultuous journey following her mother’s passing, eventually becoming entangled with a cult leader named Abel, portrayed by The Weeknd. While the show initially garnered attention for its Cannes Premiere and daring scenes, the world premiere failed to meet audience expectations, resulting in widespread criticism and online trolling.

Audience Reactions

After the airing of the show’s first episode, viewers took to Twitter to express their disappointment and frustration. Many condemned the production, with one disgruntled user tweeting, “#TheIdol – Who in their right mind thought this low-rate talentless filth of a show would be any good with The Weeknd and a cast of unknowns who lack acting, singing, or dancing skills? What is going on with you #MAX? Asking for all of us.”

Another critic highlighted the misrepresentation of women in the show, stating, “Please stop allowing a bunch of male writers to circle jerk on young actresses and pretend they’re creating art. This male gaze bullshit masquerading as some fresh take on the abuse of women is abuse in itself.”

“The Idol” has faced a significant setback with its initial reception, as audiences reject the show outright and express their dissatisfaction on social media platforms. The negative response has sparked a broader conversation regarding the role of male writers in shaping the narratives and representation of young actresses. As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen how the creators and the production team will address the criticism and potentially respond to the audience’s concerns.
