- Daniel GustavssonOctober 17, 2024I think this is a nice window into the music business in some sense. It's beautifully shot most of the time. I also didn't hate The Weeknd as an actor to be honest. I've seen way worse. The songs are nice. The sexual content is also not as bad as some make it out to be. However, the show suffers greatly on its story. There are some huge plot holes and things that are never explained. It kind of seems like they ran out of time so they had to cut various things halfway in the story. The tone is also all over the place. Sometimes it is funny, sometimes it is sexy and sometimes it goes pretty dark. Some scenes also drag on for way too long, causing this show to be pretty boring on a few occasions. Honestly, this show had a huge potential but as it is, it feels like a hodgepodge of ideas that both make little sense (especially the ending!) and also does not mesh together at all. Very much a shame.
- Ian GellingsJune 4, 2025This show is the most boring show. I've ever watched. I fell asleep during some of the episodes. It was just so bad from the acting and the writing to the characters and that stupid a** twist ending this show is just doocky, I'll give it a one point eight out of ten garbage garbage show.
