The Idol (2023)
1/10
Lily-Rose Depp deserved better

Warning: Spoilers
Do The Weeknd and Levinson have any respect for women at all? It seems unlikely. The show started out in an interesting way as some sort of satire on social media and celebrity. Showing us a young woman who has very little control over her own life and decisions and clearly wanting to break out.

But it fell apart the moment The Weeknd arrived Dude can sing, but he can't act. He's wooden and awkward as an actor and has zero chemistry with Depp. And yet, she sees him in his club and in five minutes, he's her Svengali taking over her life. Yes, she'll find agency by giving some rando control of her life too LOL.

It's an awful show, plain and simple. I hope Depp makes a better choice the next time, because she has some talent for sure.
