I watched the finale of "Idol" and I have to take a shower. The provocative series (yes, HOT and Cellcom) created by Sam Levinson (Euphoria) and singer The Weeknd (who plays a lead role) felt like entering the filthy brains of both of them without means of protection, and from now on I won't be able to listen to The Weeknd's songs without throwing up. Which is a shame, because he has great music.
Idol was about a troubled pop singer, one who is a kind of industrial pop doll who wants to have a little more control over her music and public image. To combat the embracing mantle of record companies, publicists and everyone else, she clings to the leader of a Hollywood cult. Cult members pass their time between singing and sex games, drug use, and the like. From here there is some hidden struggle for control and submission between all the characters of the story.

But "Idol" was such a terrible series that HBO executives ordered it shortened from six to five episodes just to have it run out. Every moment was sickening, creepy and futile. Her messages were washed away by a stream of toxic masculinity, torture, and irrational characters. The statement in the finale that mental disorders pay off because they help sell tickets and get rich sums up the show's mental scratch.
