      Critics Consensus

      Every bit as florid and sleazy as the industry it seeks to satirize, The Idol places itself on a pedestal with unbridled style but wilts under the spotlight. Read critic reviews

        If you're a fan of the weekend, you will like it. If you are not a fan of sexual stuff, just skip it. The storyline line, however, is too good to miss out on. It touches on a lot of issues, and it's nice to see what celebrities go through.

        No one can act, no proper script, and toxic patriarchal tones make The Idol garbage television.
      • Sep 21, 2023
        Everyone involved with this show should be tarred and feathered. Just really gross, not enjoyable, terrible acting. Whoever made the call to cancel it needs a promotion. I had to take a shower after I finished it
      • Sep 15, 2023
        Una serie que sobre sexualiza, no tiene rumbo y carece de un guión. Que pena que cambiaron a la directora y que bueno que ya no tendremos segunda temporada.
      • Sep 09, 2023
        Oversexualized and badly written and perfomed, at least the Cinematography decent and the music was okay.
      • Sep 06, 2023
        This has got to be possibly the worst television series I have ever watched. The only positive is that it looks nice. That's it.
      • Sep 06, 2023
        Subjective review: Just gross. Really disgusting. I do not understand the whole context of this show. Was it supposed to enlighten people of how it is hard for women to be in the industry? Because, yes. It did enlighten me and traumatized me even more. This show is is just women being sexualized and abused. Not worth the money, not worth the time. Loved most of the cast though.
      • Sep 06, 2023
        Great News: We are never going to see the series again hahahahahaha
      • Sep 04, 2023
        This show is exceptionally bad in so many ways. It attempts to be an in-depth analysis of current show business practices. In fact, it's a series of boring scenes that don't build on each other and get lost in nothing. The characters are not the least bit consistent and change as the writers wish, regardless of previously established facts. Even the "plottwists" are so obvious and predictable. But even if they weren't: it wouldn't make any difference. You watch, but it doesn't mean anything. No emotional payoffs, no interesting Characters. And the acting from the weeknd is the cherry on top. It's so bad.
      • Sep 03, 2023
        Such aggressive marketing OMG and for what. Someone pls tell this director to start working on himself instead of shows. Euphoria was terrible, this one is even worse, I am so disappointed in Lily Rose for taking a 0 IQ role like this. Harmful for the teens, very toxic, crazy dumb.
