Review of The Idol

The Idol (2023)
1/10
Soft core porn trying to make this legit!

Warning: Spoilers
I don't care about sex scenes because they don't bother me but this show relies on them instead of enhancing the storyline! I have watched 3 episodes so far and what I gather is a popular singing star lost her mother and had a break down. After having a break, the people around her are trying to resurrect her career but she still needs time to sort herself out.. mean while a sleazy dude latches onto to her and manipulates her which she seems to readily accept even though he's ugly, has a terrible personality and has absolutely nothing going for him. The acting is atrocious except for Hank Azaria and a couple of other supporting players. I hope Depp doesn't watch this because that would be really weird and absolutely disturbing and it makes me wonder how his daughter can do a show about abuse and think this is ok considering everything. Im sure he is supportive but honestly, it's a disgrace..

Im afraid whoever wrote this thinks the shock value of the continual graphic sex scenes will obscure the terrible storyline. I find myself fast forwarding past a lot of the boring bits because there seems to be a lot of empty scenes that give us nothing.
