This episode upset me because I saw the potential of what it could have been, and probably was before all the re-writes, and it was destroyed by that last 15-20 minutes like really this is all we gone do…. I have felt LRD was dull and boring in the first episode but was like ok this is better. Then we realize it is all going to be about this and man what… no!!! Also to your points 1) that chef is fine and 2) this is true she supposed to be an ICON where is her roster?!?! Even if Tedros says no she should of had another number ready to go. Where the dude that nut on her face yesterday? Clearly she liked him a little bit like ain’t nobody else???? That’s sus😒😒😒😒
Great observations! The show has a solid foundation in the general plot, but other than that...😩 I hope the chef is the one that talks some sense into Jocelyn and helps her to get back on track. Mainly because I want to see him again. 😂

i don't usually watch videos like this, but honestly your personality and everything about you made me watch all the way through without skipping. somehow, you made this dumpsterfire of a show sound enjoyable and made me laugh. immediate sub!!
The show had a lot of potential. Lily is a great actress she’s showing her amazing acting skills but the whole story and show is being completely taken to the wrong path because of Sam and Abel. They are putting the show in their views and we can tell they have no knowledge of mental illness and how to not romanticize it. Her issues (Main Character) are serious, she lost her mom she’s breaking down, she’s not supposed to be masturbating with cups and choking herself and even if she did we don’t need that information it’s just a way of sexuallizing her. Sam needs to learn we don’t like literal corn in our screens, we want an actual story with actual good characters and good plot. I’m just gonna continue to watch it because some of the plot is really good and has potential. You can make something controversial and original showcasing the bad side of fame without it being horrible.
BINGO! You hit the nail on the head. You only need to include sex scenes, S&M, etc in the show if it adds to the story. We don't give a damn if it doesn't. I think Lily Rose Depp is doing a great job. I would have love to have seen her performance in what was the original show. It's like they're writing this current version for teenagers who have no clue about anything.
@@watchwithmeellebeeimportant to note. Many are saying that the previous director, a woman who had completed the show about 70-80%, was removed because Abel said it had too much of a female perspective despite being a show about women.
Even Abel describes Tedros as a "vampire" _(metaphorically and with intentionally comedic aspects added in)._ Able has described the character of Tedros as a _"despicable", "psychopath", "douchebag", "loser"_ who _"thinks he looks good"_ , dresses a certain way and has a rattail. _"With this show, we love to play with the emotions. We’re puppet-mastering your feelings through the show. It’s never a consistent tone, and that’s on purpose. No matter how dark a scene is, you can find the comedy in it....Not to give away too much but especially in episode 3, we love to play with the comedy of it but then it’s like… don’t get too comfortable. That should be the logline for the show: Don’t get too comfortable watching this."_ *Abel Tesfaye to Frazier Tharpe, GQ magazine, June 13, 2023*

Thanks for posting this excerpts from the GQ article. I only recently started to read articles, and watch videos of the cast and Sam Levinson and I don't know if it's because I've already experienced the show, but the vibes with them are off. They love bomb each other, and wash each other with praise and that too is cringy.
I'm only watching this show through reveiws and thank god i didn't give into curiosity. That sx scene sounds horrific and so disrespectful. Also the Weekends dirty talk is just 😆😆🤣🤣🤣
I've been a big fan of yours since the AJLT recaps, and CANNOT WAIT for you to skewer this mess. This shietsh0w at the fcuk factory was made for your style haha
From what I can understand, she is a idol on the decline, and tedros kinda sees she can be better then what she is but also trying to use her to get his name out there, idk but this show intrigues me I feel like this feels familiar
I just want to know what in Jocelyn's mind made her think that her moaning 1000 times in a pattern was gonna make the song better?? And what does this represent who she is?? She ain't the only woman having sex, she knows that right??
For those of us who stomached this show so far I have a theory. In the first Episode,they show the scene from Basic Instinct when Sharon Stone's character says,"He fell in love with the wrong girl, then she killed him." I think that was foreshadowing. I hope Lily, aka Joycelyn kills Tedros. My bet is she will. Why else show that scene? Just my observation from a writers perspective.
I think that would actually be good story it gets to the point where tedros has so much control over everything in her life and she snaps and realises he is using her.
@@Mcherri hi Mcherri! Right! I think that would be a great ending. Like you said, Joycelyn will finally realize that Tedros is really a bad person, a liar and a snake and hopefully she will cancel his f-ing contract! haha.. That Sharon Stone -Basic Instinct clip was shown for a reason. I just don't know if THE IDOl is going to have a second season. I guess we will see! Sending you lots of love from Paris, Pia Paradis
Enjoyed this review, very entertaining more than the show which I turned off before the ending. Not sure about watch the whole series but, I guess I'll stick it out till the end.
The show might be awful but you has kept me seriously entertained. I wonder unappealing weirdos get such easy access to celebrities. But Trafalgar is so corny and the opposite of talented/sexy/intriguing 🤢
Ok here me out - will this be a horror/odd erotic thriller series? Cause I’m sort of trying to put this together and what you’re saying and what I’m thinking, and knowing The Weeknds fascination with horror (did you experience his Halloween horror nights house last year?) maybe just maybe you’re right. He is a vampire or some kind of monster? Iono that’s all I got lol
This is all The Weekend Abel Tesfaye's fault. He wanted to lessen the female perspective, causing the OG director to leave this project. SHE IS A BETTER DIRECTOR THAN sam levison.
I like the show. It's cringey af but I see what they are doing. It's a cautionary tale about being vulnerable and manipulation. I can't wait to see if Jocelyn overcomes her demons and kicks rat tail tf out her life.
Idk I feel like this could have been a cautionary tale without all the weird exploitative sex stuff. It feels more like a vehicle for Sam and Abel’s juvenile sex fantasies to me.
I, too, see this as a cautionary tale about the predatory, cultish side of fame/entertainment industry which is why I'm still watching. I'm also a fan of singer Moses Sumney (Izaac) so I wonder where his character goes besides being a distraction for Leia. Dyanne and Nikki are other characters I'm keeping an eye on because they're a couple of backstabbers. As for Tedros the Rat tail, they should've let Abel sing them lines instead of saying them 😂
I'm glad you're enjoying it. Can you help me understand what they're trying to do, because I can't see past all of the cringy out of pocket things that are front and center. The only positive I see in the show is Lily Rose Depp's portrayal of Jocelyn...
@watchwithmeellebee it's an adult show on HBO so the explicit scenes are nothing new. Sex creates a bond so its nothing more than a weapon for a narc to make its prey comply. It comes down to basic psychology. Jocelyn is vulnerable a k a the rabbit, Tedros is the predator a k a the wolf in sheep's clothing. In most true crime documentaries where the husband destroys his wife life and then kills her, we wonder why didn't she see the red flags before it was too late? So basically the show is showing us the stages of an abusive and toxic relationship and how dangerous a narcissist really is. The devil comes as everything you want, hiding the true intentions until its too late. So I'm hoping Jocelyn breaks free in the end because we are seeing her being exploited.
Those people who are defending the director is absolutely mental! This show is trashy, i watched it and it was horrible the entire script and lines the actor had to deliver was so CRINGE 😂😂
I watched this episode and after about 20 min I just fast forwarded through it. It is just SICK!!!!!! Little Lily Rose deserves better. Now, I am officially done. It’s just a very bad show. Just bad and there is nothing relatable about it.
There is NOTHING relatable about it. Not even in the aspect of us wishing we were in Jocelyn shoes, or feeling sorry for her. We didn't even get the chance to know or care about her before she started annoying us buy getting with that creepy man.

From what I can understand, she is a idol on the decline, and tedros kinda sees she can be better then what she is but also trying to use her to get his name out there, idk but this show intrigues me I feel like this feels familiar
I think the show intrigues me the way watching a train wreck would intrigue me 😂
That remix was sooo cringe
It really was. They need to delete that track immediately
@@watchwithmeellebee fr fr
I just want to know what in Jocelyn's mind made her think that her moaning 1000 times in a pattern was gonna make the song better?? And what does this represent who she is?? She ain't the only woman having sex, she knows that right??
Exactly this! She thought it was soooooo groundbreaking! 🙄
For those of us who stomached this show so far I have a theory. In the first Episode,they show the scene from Basic Instinct when Sharon Stone's character says,"He fell in love with the wrong girl, then she killed him." I think that was foreshadowing. I hope Lily, aka Joycelyn kills Tedros. My bet is she will. Why else show that scene? Just my observation from a writers perspective.
I would love that! 😂
@@watchwithmeellebee Me too!! LOL! Kisses and love,Pia
I think that would actually be good story it gets to the point where tedros has so much control over everything in her life and she snaps and realises he is using her.
@@Mcherri hi Mcherri! Right! I think that would be a great ending. Like you said, Joycelyn will finally realize that Tedros is really a bad person, a liar and a snake and hopefully she will cancel his f-ing contract! haha.. That Sharon Stone -Basic Instinct clip was shown for a reason. I just don't know if THE IDOl is going to have a second season. I guess we will see! Sending you lots of love from Paris, Pia Paradis
Enjoyed this review, very entertaining more than the show which I turned off before the ending. Not sure about watch the whole series but, I guess I'll stick it out till the end.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! 😃
On a scale of 1-10 on whether I’m gonna watch this show or not.. I give it a -12. 🤣
I was being generous 😂
@@watchwithmeellebee Looks TERRIBLE!
I *LOVE* your voice and accent. Sis, are you from Louisiana or Texas? Immediately, you are my bestie in my head. ♥️😘
I’m from New Orleans! ⚜️
Your commentary 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
You're so funny 😂
Thanks! 😊
Cuzo is lit 🔥 you heard. She said the music to acting did NOT transfer full STOP LOL😂
Stop playing in her face with this mess.
Point blank period. 😂
sam is an alien
🤔
squeaky fromme -hahahaha
You caught that huh? 😂😂
@@watchwithmeellebee You are hilarious. I love listening to you.!!
The show might be awful but you has kept me seriously entertained. I wonder unappealing weirdos get such easy access to celebrities. But Trafalgar is so corny and the opposite of talented/sexy/intriguing 🤢
Suuuuuper corny. A corn dog. Corn on the cob. Creamed corn. Pop corn. All the corns. 🤢
Ok here me out - will this be a horror/odd erotic thriller series? Cause I’m sort of trying to put this together and what you’re saying and what I’m thinking, and knowing The Weeknds fascination with horror (did you experience his Halloween horror nights house last year?) maybe just maybe you’re right. He is a vampire or some kind of monster? Iono that’s all I got lol
I was kinda thinking that it would start to get dark, and that she'll end up offing him somehow. That might make this show a TINY bit better...
I tried but it’s a no for me 😩
Can’t say that I blame you…
This is all The Weekend Abel Tesfaye's fault. He wanted to lessen the female perspective, causing the OG director to leave this project. SHE IS A BETTER DIRECTOR THAN sam levison.
I want to know who approved that. What experience does he have to replace an experienced Director?!
I’ve never even heard of this show 🤷🏾♀️
Cousin, consider yourself lucky!
You’re funny 😂😂Even tho this show is stupid 😂 i wanna keep watching…lol dont leave me in this alone sisss
We’re all in this together! 😂
Is the music bad on purpose, or no? Also, is the show bad on purpose, or no? It’s so bad it has to be on purpose.😂😂😂
Don't ask me. You know I don't know! 😂😂
Your commentary makes the unbearable, bearable 👏😂
Thanks kaydee7401!
Elle Showgirls had hands down the worst sex scenes.
The movie Showgirl from back in the day? I forgot about that one.
@@watchwithmeellebee yep the one from back in the day. This movie actually reminds me of Show Girl
I would rather watch your commentary than the actual show
Thanks for saying that! 🤗
Madonna and now the Weekend show us that being a artist making music videos don't automaticly make one a good actor...
Exactly! This is a great example! I forgot about Madonna! She wasn’t bad in A League of Their Own tho…
@@watchwithmeellebee I agree, thats the one movie she was good in . 😄
I like the show. It's cringey af but I see what they are doing. It's a cautionary tale about being vulnerable and manipulation. I can't wait to see if Jocelyn overcomes her demons and kicks rat tail tf out her life.
Idk I feel like this could have been a cautionary tale without all the weird exploitative sex stuff. It feels more like a vehicle for Sam and Abel’s juvenile sex fantasies to me.
I, too, see this as a cautionary tale about the predatory, cultish side of fame/entertainment industry which is why I'm still watching. I'm also a fan of singer Moses Sumney (Izaac) so I wonder where his character goes besides being a distraction for Leia. Dyanne and Nikki are other characters I'm keeping an eye on because they're a couple of backstabbers. As for Tedros the Rat tail, they should've let Abel sing them lines instead of saying them 😂
I'm glad you're enjoying it. Can you help me understand what they're trying to do, because I can't see past all of the cringy out of pocket things that are front and center. The only positive I see in the show is Lily Rose Depp's portrayal of Jocelyn...
Bingo! Exactly this. It's childish and unappealing
@watchwithmeellebee it's an adult show on HBO so the explicit scenes are nothing new. Sex creates a bond so its nothing more than a weapon for a narc to make its prey comply. It comes down to basic psychology. Jocelyn is vulnerable a k a the rabbit, Tedros is the predator a k a the wolf in sheep's clothing. In most true crime documentaries where the husband destroys his wife life and then kills her, we wonder why didn't she see the red flags before it was too late? So basically the show is showing us the stages of an abusive and toxic relationship and how dangerous a narcissist really is. The devil comes as everything you want, hiding the true intentions until its too late. So I'm hoping Jocelyn breaks free in the end because we are seeing her being exploited.
I couldn’t watch the whole episode.
I can see why!
Those people who are defending the director is absolutely mental! This show is trashy, i watched it and it was horrible the entire script and lines the actor had to deliver was so CRINGE 😂😂
I didn't even realize there were people out here defending him...I'm gonna have to find out what they're saying...
I watched this episode and after about 20 min I just fast forwarded through it. It is just SICK!!!!!! Little Lily Rose deserves better. Now, I am officially done. It’s just a very bad show. Just bad and there is nothing relatable about it.
There is NOTHING relatable about it. Not even in the aspect of us wishing we were in Jocelyn shoes, or feeling sorry for her. We didn't even get the chance to know or care about her before she started annoying us buy getting with that creepy man.
Long hair or no hair😂😂😂😂

THE WEEKND, _Kiss Land_
You are 2 for 2 on reviews! The series is 0-2.....they couldn't find anything else to put on😔🤔
Thanks for watching Kevin! It's a hot ass mess.
Still not feeling this show…I’m tryinggggggg but wow….ehhh….
And yeah, Weeknd is talented jussssst needs to work on his acting game a little more lol.
I agree, The Weekend is talented...just not as an actor. Not right now anyway. But that's what acting classes are for!
Alright…. Let’s see how you felt this second episode did…
Oop! -12…..😬
😂😂 Got it out of the way early. 😂
@@watchwithmeellebee sure did girl! I was like... welp sounds like I don't need to find time to watch this show lol
Why does everyone hate this show and the Weeknd? I like it and the Weeknd’s character, it fits him well.
The hair makes him intolerable
@@MarjorieStewartBaxter It’s just a character, and there are actual men who wear that hairstyle.
@@hubbthepoet612 yeah and they look as ridiculous as he does with that anorexic ponytail
I'm glad you're enjoying it.
*ABEL:* _"...You’ll find out more about the rattail later on..."_
"...You try to be as mysterious as possible about who the character is so that you can take [the audience] on this journey. But piece by piece, week by week, we’ll reveal who he is. But he’s what you see on screen. He’s definitely a challenge. He’s despicable, a psychopath-why sugarcoat it? But he’s somehow useful to this girl, and it’s unfortunate and we hate to see it..."
"...And it got to a place where the only way I could play this role was if it’s something completely different from who I am. And I can distance myself from that character. I wanted to make sure he looked nothing like me, acted nothing like me, just a totally different person..."
"...You look at him, and this is a score-Jocelyn might be the biggest score he’s ever had. It’s very obvious. He’s over-indulging, he walks into this house looking around like, Goddamn, am I way over my head? This can be the biggest job I’ve ever done. Whatever it is that he’s doing. Even the sex, it’s so gluttonous [laughs]. Especially in episode 2. ‘Gluttony’ is the only word I can think of [to describe it]. He can’t believe he’s there. He comes off like such a loser. Those moments are the humanity that you find in a psychopath, the chink in his armor."
*Abel Tesfaye to Frazier Tharpe, GQ magazine, June 13, 2023*
1:50 I dont hate it.🫣
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Much like The Baby, I hadn't even heard of this show until you, but unlike The Baby, I don't think I'll be watching this one but as always, I'm loving your review.
I look back on the The Baby with fond memories now. 😂 Thanks for watching!
