Depp has a compelling scene, though, where a photographer asks her to channel all these different emotions, and she does it in a way that fully communicates how exploited she's feeling.

How do he and Depp do? They're playing the star-crossed couple.ĭEGGANS: Well, so far, The Weeknd seems to have the same challenge that a lot of video-friendly pop stars have when they try to act, which is - they look great, but they don't quite know how to believably inhabit a character who walks and talks. KELLY: We mentioned this high-profile role for The Weeknd, who I did not actually realize was an actor. And a lot of it seemed deliberately, almost cartoonishly provocative, kind of aimed at generating controversy but without a lot of substance to the style. And there were a lot of scenes in Sunday's episode that seemed to fit that bill, including one where Depp's character chokes herself while pleasuring herself. "The Idol" was co-created by Sam Levinson, who's the creator of Emmy-winning "Euphoria," and earlier this year, though, Rolling Stone published this expose about the show saying that a female director had left the project and that the sex and the nudity had been ramped up and turning it into a male-centered fantasy. I'm getting the feeling you don't like this show, Eric, which - I mean, the team who made it - as I said, this was the people who made "Euphoria." That's a big deal, no?ĭEGGANS: Exactly. You should be having way more fun.ĭEGGANS: Yeah, and so that Trojan horse bit is the kind of line that sounds profound until you think about it a little bit, and then you realize it's really not. THE WEEKND: (As Tedros) You got the best job in the world. You get people to sing along to say whatever you want. THE WEEKND: (As Tedros) Pop music is like the ultimate Trojan horse. And here's a scene - we've got a scene from Sunday's episode where they're talking at Tedros' club about the power of pop music.

So this series stars Lily-Rose Depp - and yep, she's Johnny Depp's 24-year-old daughter - as a young pop star trying to get her career back on track after she had a nervous breakdown, but she's struggling for inspiration until she meets this nightclub owner/self-help guru who's this, like, creepy Lothario with a rattail braid - who's played by The Weekend - named Tedros. Tell me what this series is all about.ĭEGGANS: Sure. Hey Eric.ĮRIC DEGGANS, BYLINE: (Laughter) Yes, I'm feeling very critical today.
