Season 1, Episode 3
1/10
should be titled "The Weeknd thinks he is inspiring"
20 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I literally have no words, how could a show be this bad.

Not even the stacked cast, hbo sunday slot and jennie kim can save this shambly mess anymore. I'm pretty sure it's clear to everyone now that this show is an exploitative disaster and the aesthetics of its predecessor, euphoria, that the idol has tried to match have been missed by a long shot.

Knowing that most of the dialogue has been written by the weeknd makes this so much worse to watch; he has written everyone to look up to him like a god and the 20 minute dinner scene of him 'inspiring' jocelyn to make better music then eventually deciding to abuse her with a hairbrush was the worst written piece of television i've ever seen. "i wanna be taken seriously" "why" "because i do" "why."

i think another reason this show has missed its mark is bc it has not explained why jocelyn was so willing to instead tedros in her life and take over her emotions. Idk if the weeknd thought it would just be assumed because of his perception of his looks but spoiler alert abel, it definitely isn't. I think it's finally time the weeknd is humbled.
