"It looks like torture porn": critics smashed the "Idol" with Lily-Rose Depp

The new series "Idol" starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd will start on HBO Max in a week. He will tell the story of a young singer who meets the owner of a fashionable club who has created a religious cult.

The project received not at all flattering ratings from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has only 9% "freshness" based on 11 reviews from professionals. That's what they write.

1. "The script seems designed to make viewers think that they are watching how Hollywood works, although in fact a lot comes down to tasteless cliches" — Variety

2. "What Levinson [showrunner, creator of Euphoria] perceives as provocative. How can a series with such an abundance of nudity, sex and eroticism be so tasteless?" — Collider

3. "We [the audience] understand that there is no sexuality in "Idol", despite all the beauty of Depp. On the contrary, it's more like cheap and torture porn," — Evening Standard

4. "Imagine that your favorite 4-star restaurant has started serving unfrozen fast food. <...> The "idol" is gloomy, vile and vulgar. It's full of ridiculous long-worked ideas and sex like in porn. It would be appropriate on the HBO Cinemax channel, but not on the main HBO, which likes to claim Emmy Awards," — Showbiz 411

5. "Even the music here is terrible" — Daily Telegraph

The series starts on HBO Max on June 4. Are you planning to watch it, or have critics' reviews dissuaded you?
