Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) legutóbbi turnéja kisiklott az idegösszeroppanása miatt, ám eltökélte, hogy elfoglalja az őt megillető helyet Amerika leghíresebb és legszexibb popsztárjaként. Jocelynban egy Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye) nevű, sötét múltú klubtulajdonos ébreszti fel újra a szenvedélyt. Vajon romantikus öntudatra ébredése csodálatos új magasságokba repíti, vagy lelke legsötétebb és legmélyebb bugyraiba rántja le? (HBO Max)

[01+02 epizód] A Hollywood zenei showbiznisz örültjeinek glamour örömei és gondjai, tele szexszel. A klipjelenetek laktató intimitása és tetszetős jellege, egy ultraluxus dizájnos villa és Depp igyekező lánya, Lily-Rose. A cselekményt tekintve nem ragadott meg a több epizód utáni vágy, de szexi hangulat fokozójaként egy randira egy szuper házimozival szuper. ()
Not as good as Euphoria, but still pretty hot, unconventional and twisted. The interesting thing about this series is that it hardly leaves the luxury mansion, 90% of it, really takes place there, where we get a peek behind the curtain of how the music industry works and that pop starlets certainly don't have it easy. Lily-Rose Depp is portrayed as a sex symbol-goddess, her ass and often bared boobs are nice to look at, and in every episode she sets new fashion trends that must be driving women crazy in America right now. The Weeknd also does a good job, playing a cult leader, a proper sleazeball and a manipulator all in one. The whole concept kind of evokes the Oscar-winning Parasite. The music is perfect, the whole soundtrack is great (The Weeknd himself plays in the background). Visually it's also classy and I enjoyed the dialogue. The ending even has quite an unexpected twist. It's nothing groundbreaking story-wise, but it's quite distinctive, it has its own angle, it's sexy and kinky enough (there’s plenty of sex and drugs), and I liked the way the managers work in such an industry. 7/10.

Sensually shot sexual tension and action, with visual aspects and a harmony of sound and image on such a high level that I can't take my eyes off it, no matter what is happening at the moment. Unfortunately, from approximately the third episode on, things lose believability, get ridiculous, and in the final episode, even completely stupid and insulting to the viewer. It doesn't matter who performed, is performing, or will perform and with whom, in the end, not a single likable character will remain at the center of events. Lily-Rose Depp is far more fascinating after the first signal, while The Weeknd loses hard in terms of acting. I can't see the outcome of the backstage drama with HBO and the canceled episode, massive rewriting of the storyline, and all the surrounding controversy, but hopefully someone will make a series about it someday that's better than this one.
