HBO has officially cancelled The Idol. With all the backlash I can't say I am surprised. This being stated I didn't get the backlash. For a show trying so hard to be shocking it lacked substance and, well the power to shock.
I turned it off after two episodes and forgot to un-record the series. Thus I watched the last two episodes out of curiosity. Guess what Minions?!?! The same thing was happening that happened in the first two episodes, it's like shampoo, rinse and repeat.
The series was honestly boring AF to me with a capital "B"
Perhaps I'm simply jaded or I'm more intelligent than the average media consumer. It's like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop: The World May Never Know.
Mourn The Idol here if you must on Wikipedia -
