‘The Idol’, the series starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd, is under huge fire. It depicts the life of a pop star in a world full of sex, drugs and fame. ‘Female unfriendly’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘sexist’, say the critics. The sex scenes are also not appreciated.

Whether there will be a second season remains to be seen. HBO previously announced that that button has not yet been made. Abel Tesfaye (the real name of The Weeknd, ed.) is not losing any sleep over the fuss. According to him, ‘The Idol’ gives a realistic representation of what it is like to be incredibly famous. “It’s almost educational,” says the Canadian artist. Previously, the show was discredited when production staff spoke out about an allegedly toxic atmosphere on set, but this has been contradicted by The Weeknd, Lily-Rose and HBO.
