Reviews of this series by the user POMO (1)
The Idol (2023)
The sex-charged glamour of the joy and sorrow of the show-business movers and shakers of the Hollywood music industry. Fulfilling intimacy and catchiness of the music-video scenes, a designer ultra-luxury villa and Depp’s diligent daughter Lily-Rose. In terms of its plot, The Idol didn't arouse in me a desire for more episodes, but as a way to boost the sexy atmosphere on a date with a well put-together home cinema, it's great. [Cannes FF]
