Ok, so, I watched the pilot for The Idol against my better judgment after reading the Rolling Stone article about it and reading the poor critic reviews.
It's just as gross and exploitative as people say. I felt physically grossed out by the leering, objectifying gaze of the camera. The Weeknd's alleged behind-the-scenes contributions to the "male perspective" of the show make the scenes between him and Lily Rose-Depp that much more nauseating.
The dialogue between Jocelyn's team the whole first thirty minutes felt like the thinly veiled airing out of Sam Levinson's grievances we got in Malcolm and Marie but put through a "cancel culture/anti-woke" meat grinder. "Mental illness is sexy" and locking an intimacy coordinator in a bathroom came off like Euphoria meta-commentary from Levinson.
I don’t care about nudity in movies/TV if it's done in a way that feels respectful of the actors. But the descriptions of the nudity in this show as "fetishistic" are spot-on. The sex scene at the end of the episode where Jocelyn is being suffocated and he sticks a knife through the silk made me feel weird and uncomfortable. The constant shots up Lily's skirt and in increasingly skimpy outfits for no reason in random scenes felt so on-the-nose for the reaction they're trying to get.
It's not revelatory or exciting. It's just repulsive and relying on shock and outrage for clicks.
Don't waste your time. Don't hate watch. I'm not interested in encouraging a deluded edgelord on a power trip with HBO dollars behind him.

what was mary's plan? take nathaneil and run, but what about after that? she knew abt the moriyamas but never told nathaneil. was she planning on running til the day she died? did she really think that would be better than letting neil stay? their whole relationship, from mary's side anyway, was based on a lack of faith and trust. she didn't think neil would be good enough at exy to join the ravens, so she took him and ran. she never told him about the moriyamas, even as she was dying, and she was constantly questioning that neil never said anything incriminating will they were in other countries. neil says they never had a meaningful conversation during their time on the run, which lasted 8/9 yrs. why did she never take him back to her family in england? we know why neil doesn't seek them out after she dies, which is an entirely valid reason, but even if mary and stuart had some great big argument, he seemed really upset that she died and about neils fate, otherwise he wouldnt have killed nathan.
i think in the wesninski household, mary had very little control over anything except neil. he was completly in her care she had no other job. even nathan had no use for her except publicity-wise. i think neil was good enough for the moriyamas, and mary saw that at the audition, and she realised what would happen the next day. she was desperate, if neil left she had nothing to control. nathan had no use for her, her time might come to an end, so she took what money she could and ran. lets face it, 5 million dollars is a lot, but not enough to get by for years if youre constantly getting new identities (22 in 8 years amounts to 3 a year for 7 yrs and 1 for 1 yr, bc we know he kept neil josten for a year before psu) plus the cost of moving even if everything you own fits in a duffel bag.
she was desperate bc she wanted needed to control neil for as long as possible and ended up dragging him down with her, fashioning a reality in which he was completely dependent on her to the point where after she died he was so completely naive that he walked right into riko moriyamas hands
