a shit show
The idol Unfortunately, before the series is well and truly on television, it threatens to succumb to the problems, according to a study by the magazine. The rolling Stone.
For example, thirteen anonymous sources would recount what happened behind the scenes of The idol “…a shit show” Has mentioned. Filming is behind schedule, scripts are often not finished yet.
Producer Amy Seimetz (she dies tomorrow) was originally involved with the project, but left the production in 2022 when Levinson wanted to do extensive reshoots.
I know this is really not the point of all the revelations that are coming out about #The idol. But Blackpink’s Jennie really was subjected to the silent trope of the Asian woman. Disappointed but completely surprised to see the fetishization of Asian women alive and well in Hollywood!

Write again, film again
With all the changes, the focus was completely diverted from the character of Lily Rose Depp.
Originally, the series was supposed to be filmed from the female perspective, but Levinson’s changes turned it into something else entirely.
“What am I reading here? This looked like sexual torture porn.” says a source.
sexual nature
Thus, one of Levinson’s changes was the sexual character of the series.
“It was like every rape fantasy of someone with toxic masculinity on the show, and then the woman comes back for more because he makes his music better.” said a source.
It’s so tacky that he’s running into this stunt like he’s a horror director. As if she’s admitting that his “art” is about impact and not storytelling. #THE IDOL #euphoriaHBO https://t.co/qwUM2hxW88
