Although there have only been three episodes so far of HBO's newest drama The Idol, the series, led by Sam Levinson and the Weeknd has already become the network's least loved project. Following Lily-Rose Depp's as vulnerable pop star, Jocelyn, the show delves into Jocelyn's struggle to maintain her music career, grieving her abusive mother, and entering a problematic relationship with a local cult leader. All in all, the show received major criticism for its disturbing content even before it premiered, and now that it's on-screen, the reviews have seemingly only gotten worse.
