Euphoria fans reunite: R&B household name Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd) takes on the small screen with his widely controversial take on the life of a pop star — portrayed by Lily-Rose Depp — in the modern age who runs into the wrong crowd with HBO’s The Idol. The show comes from the same creator behind Euphoria, Sam Levinson, which explains the often unnecessary objectification of the female protagonist, as well as the overt portrayals of substance abuse. Even before the first episode premiered, the show was slammed with negative reviews (see: The Telegraph), initially debuting with a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. New episodes are out every Monday and you can catch the first two on OSN+ — but bear in mind this isn’t exactly the kind of show to watch around the kids.
