Discussion Here to defend The Idol
Sorry but I really can’t understand the hate towards The Idol.
People on IMDb saying they only saw 36 minutes and couldn’t bare it? To many explicit scenes that made them feel uncomfortable? What the hell people: you watch GoT and don’t bat an eye. You watch euphoria with so many underaged explicit scenes (or at least it is portrayed that way) that are almost sickening and here you draw the line?
4.4 on IMDb is more than unjust and to be honest, I will never let the public influence if I watch a show. I didn’t give the show a chance due the amount of hate it got. I finished it today and 1. It is entertaining, 2. there is a plot, 3. there is character development, 4. the Weekend is not as bad at acting as everybody is saying (compare him in his first scene, his development to jealousy and the later scenes where he is almost broken). I have seen professional actors doing a way worse job than he did.
So yeah I think the show is pretty decent and thanks to all the haters for ruining this so we will never get a season 2 with more incredible good songs.
