HBO The Idol (CANCELED After 1 Season)
- Thread starter MoeW
- Start date
That tweet is misleading and a tad confusing because it says in the article that Abel isn't returning for season 2 but other articles are referencing the same article and saying the show isn't returning
I give shows around 3 episodes before I decide to pull the plug or not
Not really. I thought the new girl was interesting but the season feels like a slow burn even though it's only 6 episodes. Hoping it gets better in episode 3
meh. Im indifferent about it. Music industry being filled with vultures and people with ulterior motives was my takeaway that episode.
It's like they took the ridiculousness and over sexualized shit like Euphoria did and ramped it up but the story isnt nearly as compelling.
Ima check the third episode when it drops *shrugs*
Just finished the 2nd episode and bout to start this new one. Man The Weeknd and whoever is writing his shit is awful lmaoooo that whole scene of him talkin to Jocelyn in the bedroom was cringe as hell.
Am I gonna keep watching this just to complain? You got damn right! This show is one of them sooooo bad it’s good joints

Cuz you're in the music industry, you relate. This shit got canned within 2 episodes because most viewers can't relate to the insider point of view
When I was deep in the bay rap scene I remember hoping Entourage would last cuz i loved how it was all about the inside of the film industry...that show was a hit tho, the premise was simple. Idols premise is kinda vague and probably boring to most
A bunch of people in the comments who don't realize he's meant to be cringe in that scene.
That was a rumor.Not true HBO said no decision has been made
And I damn sure like it cause I know ppl like The Weekend .There's mad slick shady cult of personalities in entertainment period.
But I think I would like it without fucking with music.
Idk it ain't boring to me in anyway
The premise you have an abused child star pop star who wants to make meaningful music and she meets a shady industry guy with a cult leader vibe and possible sinister plans.
I love the music and then inside look at stardom
The weeknd's acting was better this ep even though I didn't have an issue with it
I laughed when the guy looked around the corner about the sounds in the dressing room
Well that was interesting lol
Shouldn't he be hitting her when she's actually practicing or whatever to keep her attention though? Wasn't the story that her mom would do it to motivate her? So just sitting there getting hit doesn't seem like it simulates what her mom was doing
Certainly adds something to the show though but her just sitting there getting hit to replicate her mom so she can focus and make better music doesn't seem like it's the same
This episode was better but it's still a slow burn while technically at the halfway point of the short season
