Does anyone get Showgirls vibes from this show? - Acting is horrible - Plot is pretentious and tries to be something big and psychological - gratuitous sex , violence, torture and rape
One of his biggest problems in this show is his eye movements, especially when he’s saying something that’s supposed to be condescending or badass or whatever. If you pay attention to his eyes during these times, he always tends to look away or to the side which conveys insecurity/uncertainty in what one is saying/thinking, which totally goes against the type of character he’s trying SO HARD to portray.

Nah, Depp played good with the shit she was given. The scene where she's dancing and calls out to her mom was touching. That scene made me so sad, it really showed what the show _could_ have been
Let me be clear. I LOVE the weeknd as an artist. He makes amazing music and is masterful at his craft. He's an expert when it comes to creating amazing albums with a sense of uniqueness and creativity that NO OTHER artist has. Its beauty. However? I HATE The Idol. And as much as I love The Weeknd as an artist? His acting is TERRIBLE. And this show is dogshit. This show is terrible in writing and his acting is just....horrible. I still love The Weeknd because I believe all the good hes given to the world outdoes this terrible show and its writing that he took a part in. I still love Abel Tesfaye and all the amazing kindness hes shown to many of his fans followers, and even people who dont know who he is which is rare. I would never say all of that is to be thrown away because of how terrible this show is. But despite my love for The Weeknd, this show is terrible, along with its writing and his acting. That is something that'll never change, no matter what he does.
You might hate the writing and The Weeknd's performance, but she actually gave a pretty good performance considering how awful the material she was given is. The same goes for Rachel Sennott. And I don't think it went unnoticed since she is the lead in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu remake.
His acting definitely needs work, but the script would make the show cringe regardless of who plays his role. If he actually got a role which fit him and had a good script, I think he’d actually do a decent job. Obviously he needs to refine his acting abilities, but this is his first ever acting role and maybe we should cut him some slack - if you don’t he’ll curb stomp your a**.
I was thinking the same thing: horrible writing! His character had to be the flattest, worst stereotypical bs role I've ever seen, and in an HBO show????? HBO usually has far better standards for writing than this. The writing team just didn't get into the head of this character at all and it was horrible to watch. I feel like this is part of why the horrible assault scenes are even cringier to watch. They could have even gone more of a 50 Shades direction with those (which ironically, The Weeknd already has some attachment to already), and that would have even been better than whatever came out of this crappy script. I don't think The Weeknd could have saved this garbage fire even if he tried harder. This series definitely made him look like a horrible actor but people also need to think of how they wanted to see this performed because, if they did, they'd realize there's literally NOWHEREEE for this character to go that would have been reasonable or ideal. It's crap writing.
Aight, I didn’t know he was one of the producers. I take back “let’s cut him some slack”. Man knew the direction the show was going and got on the train anyway. 💀
The timing for this kind of show couldn’t be worse. In the post “me too” era, Hollywood degeneracy and exploitation are in everyone’s cross hairs (rightly so). Who in their right mind would try to make a show trying to glorify and romanticize this type of sleaze?…. It’s literally the exact opposite of what people want!
@@eigbwgoiweiuiuebvbwell i don’t blame her tbh, the show had a different director and plot at first, so i think she couldn’t just give up when it started leading towards this direction
Lily rose is an actress not a singer, and The Weekend is a singer and definitely not an actor. So I guess it’s safe to say that they swapped professions during this show 💀
Threats when your short can work very well. Imo martin freeman does that very well as john Watson. Except in this guy's case, both his physical and mental ability were not on his side. I wish i had a fraction of that dude's confidence.
He’s like the kid that didn’t go through puberty he just stayed round faced and soft but is trying to act hard and grown up😂😂😂😂Haha even though he technically is older
People seem to forget that they have to follow a script so really it’s the writers to be blamed. But shiii he f*cked up for even reading the script and being like “YA THIS IS GREAT, I WOULD LOVE TO ACT THIS OUT! 😃” this show was pure garbage from all parties 💯
if bros a narcissist and a womanizer at least get some good acting coaching I think he takes too many things at the same time I am also disappointed as a fan ( I should already because of his lyrics lol but music wise I enjoy I gave him a chance for his art ) for him saying the r word and still not being a good actor tho I don't think I can listen anymore tho from these clips I will have to wait a couple years 💀
Nah, as a fan too who hasn't seen this show but jus clips like this one. I can still separate his music from this. He tried a new lane and it didn't work out. Many music artists get into acting, some succeed and some don't. It's like Ice Cube being in all those awful comedy movies, doesn't change the fact he made GOATED music. Or Snoop doing literally anything for a pay check nowadays, he still made incredible music back in the day. I personally don't think some artists misses can jus cancel out the hits. People can argue Abel is a bad actor, which is cool. But to think a character he's playing (poorly) is somehow a reflection of him as a person is jus weird and false. Regardless of taking inspiration from life experiences or an exaggerated version of himself, it's still fiction and not an accurate reflection of his real life self.
*wounded grimace* ............ "iaintgay." Sam: "Cut, cut -- I think we got it. Abel... Fuckin' felt it, man. Just give this guy a goddamn Emmy already!"
I think it's not about his lack of acting skills, it's about how much he feels committed to the role. Because in his music videos his acting shows so much more emotion,facial expressions and strong gestures.
@@cowabunga_mother the fact he even had the power to do that shows that he didn't need this show. He is already beyond successful, he made it. This movie was just some side project for him
In all honesty, I thought he was portraying the role of a sweaty, creepy, freaky guy who is obsessed over an idol..... and so I thought his acting was really good cuz he really did make me feel grossed out and assume he's a sweaty creepy guy so I'd say 9/10 for that acting. [Love Weeknd though, bro got the voice of an Angel].

"This is like something outta wattpad" that's offensive to wattpad writers tbh
Exactly, because much better writing can be found on Wattpad.
@@kaegee2579 yeah like "Forbidden Temptation" I read in Wattpad. That story was poetic as fuck I felt like I am in another universe. Sadly it got deleted god knows why. It was 18+ with no sex tho
So true
2:43 is my actual reaction to his acting and their whole dialogs 😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:11 feels like he just learned the f-bomb
The whole “let me catch you looking at her” was fn hilarious 😂
2:25 bro looks like the Statue of Liberty
😂😂😂
it’s giving elsa
I am not abel to watch this😭
BOOOOOOOO
"You know what it is?....I think your gay"
"I ain't gay...."
Are you REALLY...REAAAAAAALLY sure about that?
his acting coach was like 'ok we only have a few days.acting is being yourself'
He definitely got an acting tutorial that was like “LIVE every line..”
''I think you're gay"
Tedros:🗿
the fact that his fans trying to defend him by saying his “character” supposed to make u feel disgusted as if that type of character haven’t been done before in cinema 😭 like hello people CAN distinguish between a disgusting character and a disgusting actor
Let's do a petition for that lipstick dude in ur pfp to act. People will be having a hard time distinguishing who the hero and heroine is , let alone focusing on the acting stuffs lol🤣
@@sree3650 thats an AI generated image its not even a real person lol
@@shinyminy94 it really looks like that one bts dude.. I mean most of them do look kinda similar anyway l

Also don't project your personal life problems and insecurities onto me girlyy☕.. It's evident at this point.
0:17 looks like the voices in his head are interrupting him. Makes seem like schizophrenic to me
“are u fucking retarted” got me there😂😂
The way he was struggling to give the man threats for for looking at joss is honestly embarrassing 💀
Edit: well dam wasn’t expecting 1k likes💀
fr that actor should receive several emmy nominations for managing to seem threatened by him even the slightest
@@ninalempicka2948 Fr the stuttering killed me we all know that behind the seems he wanted to beat his ass till he blacks out💀
NO HIM BEING SHORTER THAN THE GUY IS WHAT GOT MEEE
@@maiberry314 LMAO💀🖐️
He should’ve just left on the the spot tbh💀
Yea he really needed to train that sharp lip out of his acting
He's doing a horrible job at method acting cause nobody with common sense would write this bs
I wholeheartedly believe we should create the razzies for tv-shows too, this show would make a clean sweep.
The razzies would be cleaner than the dwarfs' house after snow white and her ratchet forest friends cleaned it
Nah, Depp played good with the shit she was given. The scene where she's dancing and calls out to her mom was touching. That scene made me so sad, it really showed what the show _could_ have been
Yes!
@@Fiemus9 what it could have been < what it actually is.
Trying to be like that dude from 365 days, except he aint tall and he aint Italian.
Man that film is also extremely cringe
IM SORRY BUT I COULDN’T FINISH THE VIDEO BECAUSE OF THE SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT LMAOOO
1:25 bro was standin on his tippy toes for that
😂
Why is that scene sexy and moderately homoerotic? "Let me see it" 🤣
STOP I CANT
thats crazy lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
I can't with the Wii music over these scenes 💀💀💀
Wait that’s where this sound comes from I been hearing it forever and now know😭
It’s hard to deal with the ludicrous script writing and yes, unfortunately his acting makes it all the more painful 😢.
He wrote it too bro
Let me be clear.
I LOVE the weeknd as an artist. He makes amazing music and is masterful at his craft. He's an expert when it comes to creating amazing albums with a sense of uniqueness and creativity that NO OTHER artist has. Its beauty.
However?
I HATE The Idol. And as much as I love The Weeknd as an artist? His acting is TERRIBLE. And this show is dogshit. This show is terrible in writing and his acting is just....horrible. I still love The Weeknd because I believe all the good hes given to the world outdoes this terrible show and its writing that he took a part in. I still love Abel Tesfaye and all the amazing kindness hes shown to many of his fans followers, and even people who dont know who he is which is rare. I would never say all of that is to be thrown away because of how terrible this show is. But despite my love for The Weeknd, this show is terrible, along with its writing and his acting. That is something that'll never change, no matter what he does.
This
At least we got a cover of “Jealous Guy” from the soundtrack
HIS WIG THO 💀
1:13 has to be a key and peele skit LMAOOO
I know right!! 🤣🤣🤣💀
☠️☠️☠️
I don't know how he filmed that without laughing.
Perfect description. Why does he sound sexy trying to be threatening? 😭
Depp should be embarrassed for this role 😂
I’m sure she is. Imagine your dad and mom being so famous and you still end up with the most degrading uninspiring role of all time
@@ilean7499 exactly it’s gross
You might hate the writing and The Weeknd's performance, but she actually gave a pretty good performance considering how awful the material she was given is. The same goes for Rachel Sennott.
And I don't think it went unnoticed since she is the lead in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu remake.
@@theunbearablejuani agree the worse actor in this show is able everyone else is relatively decent
@@ilean7499wonder what her father thinks of it
His acting was really good when he starred in American Dad…
And uncut gems
Yeeeeeaaaahh I get the feeling that he’s better suited for comedy
@@bigbionk bro he didnt even do much in Uncut Gem, all he did was get horny and fighting, how is that good acting....
Ι was thinking about how hes good at acting in his music videos too , like the after hours videos, idk what happened in this series
@@tinavavlas4491probably he needs other people directing him than by himself
the writing is what's cringe.. he's not to good either but still that writing is the worst
He sounds like a kid trying to be cool lmao. Doesn't he know any other curse words other than the f one lol XD
His acting definitely needs work, but the script would make the show cringe regardless of who plays his role. If he actually got a role which fit him and had a good script, I think he’d actually do a decent job. Obviously he needs to refine his acting abilities, but this is his first ever acting role and maybe we should cut him some slack - if you don’t he’ll curb stomp your a**.
I was thinking the same thing: horrible writing! His character had to be the flattest, worst stereotypical bs role I've ever seen, and in an HBO show????? HBO usually has far better standards for writing than this. The writing team just didn't get into the head of this character at all and it was horrible to watch. I feel like this is part of why the horrible assault scenes are even cringier to watch. They could have even gone more of a 50 Shades direction with those (which ironically, The Weeknd already has some attachment to already), and that would have even been better than whatever came out of this crappy script. I don't think The Weeknd could have saved this garbage fire even if he tried harder. This series definitely made him look like a horrible actor but people also need to think of how they wanted to see this performed because, if they did, they'd realize there's literally NOWHEREEE for this character to go that would have been reasonable or ideal. It's crap writing.
he's one of the producers of the show so it's also his fault 💀
Nah, no slack. He said "this is good enough" and here we are
Aight, I didn’t know he was one of the producers. I take back “let’s cut him some slack”. Man knew the direction the show was going and got on the train anyway. 💀
He wrote the script bro
The timing for this kind of show couldn’t be worse. In the post “me too” era, Hollywood degeneracy and exploitation are in everyone’s cross hairs (rightly so). Who in their right mind would try to make a show trying to glorify and romanticize this type of sleaze?…. It’s literally the exact opposite of what people want!
Whoever is tired of radical liberals bs would
Literally the point of this show was to line up with those metoo sensibilities but thanks to the weeknd and Sam Levinson it became the exact opposite
Lily Rose Depp is so brave for putting up with all that
No definitely not😂 it was her own choice to choose this trash and she read the script. If she wants junk she gets junk.
rent must've been due LMAO
her acting is acc decent tho but i just don’t get how she accepted to be in the show
@@eigbwgoiweiuiuebvb one word: Nepotism
@@eigbwgoiweiuiuebvbwell i don’t blame her tbh, the show had a different director and plot at first, so i think she couldn’t just give up when it started leading towards this direction
Wait guys can we get a moment to live in the perspective of these poor camera people who had to witness this.😭
Lily rose is an actress not a singer, and The Weekend is a singer and definitely not an actor. So I guess it’s safe to say that they swapped professions during this show 💀
Okay but I had to push the volume all the way up to hear what they're saying, and then those transitions just crushed my ears like-
The guy he was “threatening” was so tall and handsome 🤩
Threats when your short can work very well. Imo martin freeman does that very well as john Watson. Except in this guy's case, both his physical and mental ability were not on his side. I wish i had a fraction of that dude's confidence.
bitches be like:
yeah he kills people for a living but he's so tall and handsome 💞✨
whamen be like:

@@jurassicthunder the guy being threatened was handsome, not the shorty trying to look cool💀
The Weeknd looked like he wanted to devour that man 🤣
He’s like the kid that didn’t go through puberty he just stayed round faced and soft but is trying to act hard and grown up😂😂😂😂Haha even though he technically is older
😂😂😂😂
my boy not cut for actiong loooool
He has potential he just needs classes lmao 😅
@@___Alina___24the weekend needs to stop being homophobic. He wrote a song about wanting to make lesbians like men
He just needs some lessons that’s all I see the potential of what he could be
@@DolphinboiThe Weeknd is a character who cares
People seem to forget that they have to follow a script so really it’s the writers to be blamed. But shiii he f*cked up for even reading the script and being like “YA THIS IS GREAT, I WOULD LOVE TO ACT THIS OUT! 😃” this show was pure garbage from all parties 💯
No.
The curb stomp scene had me ON THE FLOOR- to funny!!! 😭😭😭😂😂😂
4:31 most ironic line in the whole show.
Abel..this isn't you..
actually this isn't that rare lol😊
I’m pretty sure it is. How can you spend years writing toxic songs and not be actually toxic 🤦🏻♂️
@@crystajewelz1069Why are you listening to him then 😂
@@Ahmed-og2jmhe was toxic too that's why
Actually it is… he’s been a fraud
I just don't think he can play the bad guy role
Here's the thing, Tedros was tryna be intimidating the whole time but wasn't in reality and I think he acted that part out perfectly lol
You guys don't understand...this is pure comedy 😂😂 its a new genre called: CRINGE COMEDY
And this show became one with that genre without even trying to.
*Dies from cringe* 💀
if bros a narcissist and a womanizer at least get some good acting coaching I think he takes too many things at the same time I am also disappointed as a fan ( I should already because of his lyrics lol but music wise I enjoy I gave him a chance for his art ) for him saying the r word and still not being a good actor tho I don't think I can listen anymore tho from these clips I will have to wait a couple years 💀
Nah, as a fan too who hasn't seen this show but jus clips like this one. I can still separate his music from this. He tried a new lane and it didn't work out. Many music artists get into acting, some succeed and some don't. It's like Ice Cube being in all those awful comedy movies, doesn't change the fact he made GOATED music. Or Snoop doing literally anything for a pay check nowadays, he still made incredible music back in the day. I personally don't think some artists misses can jus cancel out the hits.
People can argue Abel is a bad actor, which is cool. But to think a character he's playing (poorly) is somehow a reflection of him as a person is jus weird and false. Regardless of taking inspiration from life experiences or an exaggerated version of himself, it's still fiction and not an accurate reflection of his real life self.
@@crickcrackcricketycrack5501 ice cube was funnyu as fuck i dont know what you on about
@@dreaddenji7757fr friday all about the benjamins ride along 21&22 jump street etc. idk what bro on
straight outta wattpad😆🤣🤣🤣
His character is supposed to be like this only. N people hate this type of people irl so he portrayed it perfectly lmao. Hence great actor.
*wounded grimace* ............ "iaintgay."
Sam: "Cut, cut -- I think we got it. Abel... Fuckin' felt it, man. Just give this guy a goddamn Emmy already!"
Every time I see him act I think of that high school musical clip/song that goes "no no noooooo, no no noooooo, stick to the stuff you knoooowww" 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I think it's not about his lack of acting skills, it's about how much he feels committed to the role. Because in his music videos his acting shows so much more emotion,facial expressions and strong gestures.
It's obvious he's already good at what he does. He didn't need this show
he was committed to this show, he changed the show's entire script after half the shooting was done because he felt it was too "feminist"😭
and that's good@@cowabunga_mother
@@cfnmedia yeah it's so good they turned it into this cringy mess dude
@@cowabunga_mother the fact he even had the power to do that shows that he didn't need this show. He is already beyond successful, he made it. This movie was just some side project for him
I can only believe he wrote his own lines no way a script writer did tho
In all honesty, I thought he was portraying the role of a sweaty, creepy, freaky guy who is obsessed over an idol..... and so I thought his acting was really good cuz he really did make me feel grossed out and assume he's a sweaty creepy guy so I'd say 9/10 for that acting. [Love Weeknd though, bro got the voice of an Angel].
But the only funny part if when he tried to look all scary and went "let me catch you looking at her again" lmao that was hilarious
