It talks about sex, rape, the perversion of a business, fame, sensuality, scandals and a long etcetera that caused its premiere to be questioned when HBO planned to cancel it once it was shot and edited<\/u>. But it has reached the platform and has eaten the rest with a single chapter and in just 48 hours.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to FlixPatrol data<\/u>is already above succession<\/em> and of the miniseries from a few years ago that has slipped back into the most watched on HBO<\/u>. We talk about Sam Levinson’s new series starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, <\/strong>the idol<\/strong><\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

the idol<\/em> It is already the most controversial thing that HBO Max has released this year<\/h2>\n

Starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd, and co-created by Sam Levinson, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Reza Fahim, This series has all the controversy necessary to succeed<\/strong>. Now the question is whether being controversial is enough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for HBO Max says that this is the story of Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) who \u201cafter a nervous breakdown derails her latest tour, is determined to reclaim her rightful status as the biggest and sexiest star in the world.\u201d america pop. Her passions reignite with Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye), a nightclub manager with a sordid past. Will his romantic awakening of her take her to glorious new heights or to the darkest depths of her soul?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have seen the first chapter that is already available on the platform and the cast is overwhelming. Troye Sivan, Hank Azaria, Jennie Kim or Dan Levy among others<\/strong>They do a wonderful role in this new series. And special mention goes to Lily-Rose Depp, who is frankly spectacular and surprisingly comfortable in her role, one full of lights and shadows (plus the latter, I’m afraid) and who promises to give us a lot in the series. But what I liked the most is also what has scared me the most and the reason why I have seen it: the controversy surrounding the series<\/u>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Honestly, I wonder at what point is marked the limit between the free controversy that seeks visibility above all else and the artistic<\/strong>. And it scares me to reflect on it. But perhaps it is precisely there where the beauty of art lies, in shaking us, making us reflect, even making us uncomfortable. It only has one chapter, but it is not only the most watched on HBO Max, it is also a series that will give a lot to talk about as happened with Euphoria<\/em><\/u>.<\/p>\n

As significant data, before minute five arrives we have already seen the breasts of the protagonist<\/strong>, and just before we see how the characters debate whether a photo shoot in which Lily Rose Deep appears in a hospital gown and bracelet, but with a sexual attitude, is romanticizing mental illness and the other character’s response is “Absolutely. Mental illness is sexy.” A criticism of the industry or just a desire for controversy?<\/p>\n
