HBO’s The Idol gets requisite 5-minute standing ovation at Cannes, plus a new plot breakdown
has had its out-of-competition premiere at Cannes, so the first two episodes have been seen by more than just the people who made them.
The original premise of the show when it was first announced that it was explicitly culty, with Tesfaye’s character being an outright villain who twists Depp’s character to suit his culty whims, but the trailers made it seem like it would be more about how Tesfaye’s manipulations are actually good and that he’s really turning Depp’s character into a more successful pop star with this… twisted sexual schemes.
sound more like the first thing than the second thing. Luckily, us regular people don’t have to wait too much longer to see the show for ourselves, at which point we can decide if it’s “five-minute standing ovation” or “disgusted walkout.”
