So HBO went from critically regarded The Last of Us to the Emmy bait Succession to a gratuitous Skinemax rip-off in The Idol?

Like, this is one of those shows I’m not 100% sure how bad it really is because the reviewers seem to be cathartically going to extremes with glee.

- Kids today are so tame yet porn today is so extreme - someone should build an AP Lang curriculum about THAT -- nm - rollo Jun 13, 06:32
it's not good, but it is compelling. Depp is really giving it her all. The supporting performances are kind of great. I'm keen to see where it goes -- nm - rollo Jun 13, 06:05 1
- After two episodes, I'm thinking that one of the supporting roles has been written just to tease a fanbase and keep their fans on the hook *spoiler* -- (link) - JD Jun 13, 07:56
Lily Depp seems to handle the role well. Just a shame the series itself is skinemax quality. -- nm - budice Jun 13, 05:54
It's not TV. It's B-HO. -- nm - Coach Bearond Jun 13, 05:50
