‘The Idol (Season 1) 2023’ Web Series Review:

Weekend is so unpleasant in the first episode that we can’t believe anyone would want to have sex with him, especially someone as attractive as Ms. Depp. I’ve been watching it on Max because Troye Sivan is in it, but it’s absolute garbage. I don’t mean funny garbage that’s so bad it makes you laugh and smile. I mean absolute garbage. In any case, she’s clearly completely insane here – will she say she’s seriously mental or just acting like she is? – Its motives are impossible to determine. Regardless, there is no chemistry between the leads.

The film features clips from Basic Instinct, but it’s really an update of The Lonely Lady, albeit not as fun and cheesy. I will be watching all the episodes to help me get my much needed suture fix. However, there is nothing else about it that interests me.

Sadly, after watching the first episode, I have to say it’s pretty terrible. The main character is unattractive, everything is drowning in political explanations and grown-ups are happy, and surprisingly, the unusual soundtrack and few good visuals don’t help the main episode to be boring and basically unappealing. would do Jocelyn, played by Rose Depp, is simply extraordinary and her behavior is not predictable which has a terrible texture. The pre-20-minute “lore” of adult content looks like it could be found on adult websites. Although the story and characters are even more stereotypically written, the whole thing reminds me of Euphoria. I give this two stars overall for the visuals and soundtrack. While this episode was honestly pretty disappointing, which pretty much sums up my feelings regarding this episode, I will give this series another chance for two or three episodes.
