The HBO series kicked off with behind-the-scenes scandal and continued to receive disastrous reviews and online hate. Ahead of the finale, we look back at the tumultuous series.
Unfortunately, that whole Valentino scene—plus the slap in the kitchen—is sort of iconic now for its utter terribleness. I have more than 20 recordings from that episode on my phone because I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. Tesfaye’s whole performance seems so self-indulgent, like he’s living out his Martin Scorcese anti-hero dreams at the expense of a well-crafted scene. But it ultimately comes down to the directing., Levinson was blessed with a naturally talented set of actors.
In general, the show’s sexual content felt really compulsory. Like, “Oh, it’s been two minutes since Tedros has been gross to Jocelyn, so let’s have him lightly spank her in a store closet.” If you’re going to portray sex in such an un-erotic way, it should at least be jarring and weird.Sex—both having it, and using it—was undoubtedly a big part of this show’s conceit. Sexuality was far more interesting whenwas discussing sensuality as a music industry tool.
We ended up with Troye Sivan’s character, Xander, suggesting that Jocelyn use the photo as her album cover. It’d be a wild move, but at least we could see the seismic impact it would have on her place in the industry. Instead, Xander ended up largely shafted by the show, like most of the tertiary characters.
