The Idol has one great element nobody's talking about
The first episode finds chart-topping pop star Jocelyn during a titillating photo shoot for her forthcoming album cover, while the second takes a-style look at the crushing monotony of filming a music video. The third one is largely upended by some tasteless trauma play and an inexplicable pronunciation of "carte blanche".Jocelyn is on the precipice of a comeback from mental health troubles following her mother's death.
The dual nature of the show may be in part owing to the fraught way it was made. Amy Seimetz abruptly dropped out of directing the production, having already shot most of the series. From the opening scenes of the first episode, the writing seems to be going for satire, even if it doesn't all land.
