Since the series ‘The Idol’ featuring singer Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, has ended, it has left many social media users confused.
The Idol focuses on Jocelyn, an aspiring pop idol who, after having a nervous breakdown that causes her last tour to be canceled, resolves to reclaim her title as the sexiest pop star in America and begins a complex relationship with Tedros, a self-help guru and the head of a contemporary cult.

Besides The Weeknd, the star-studded cast included Lily-Rose Depp, Dan Levy, Hank Azaria, and Jane Adams with new talent Troye Sivan, Jennie Kim from BLACKPINK, and Moses Sumney.
Despite the stellar cast, the dark drama could not captivate the audience and the netizens started to question what the purpose of the series was.
After 5 episodes this is what we end with. Nah fam. Yo @HBO show us the scrapped show that leaned into the female perspective cuz ya’ll went from succession to the worst show of all time. I have a feelin it would been better than whatever this was. #theidol #TheIdolHBO pic.twitter.com/iHvzK5vVBZ

“The Idol” has concluded its five-episode run, and there’s one question I can’t help but ask: What was the point of all of that? #THEIDOL #TheIdolHBO pic.twitter.com/V8ucKrB331

He’s not even making it to the originally planned six episodes, let alone the Emmy’s at this point.
Perfect example of an overinflated ego believing they can be successful in an arena they have no business being in. #TheIdolHBO #theidol https://t.co/5N8mLJMZ7y

The Idol was all about Sam Levinson & The Weeknd getting off to Johnny Depp’s daughter which is a shame cause she can act!
Also Eli Roth who is actually more demented & sadistic than the whole cast! #TheIdol #TheIdolHBO pic.twitter.com/sP2Bic3TJn
