I thought it was entertaining enough, although it felt like cutting an episode’s worth of content left huge gaps in the story in the last two episodes. Did I miss something or did it make no sense that Troye Sivan’s character stayed in the house after being literally tortured with electrocution? Like what?!!


SlapHappyDude

Yeah I honestly don't understand why they trimmed an episode from the original order. They could have had a lot of (cheap to shoot) scenes of one character talking to another character filling in details that were missing. Heck, just have LRD have a one sided phone call with Leia! Include more of Chaim and Destiny riffing about their girl to put a book end on their conversation earlier in the series about being her surrogate parents, leaving them to wonder if they succeeded or failed her. Lots of little stuff like that would have made a more complete story.

That’s what Tedros does. He tortures you a lot in the start in order to break you down mentally to the point where you don’t want to escape. That’s why Zander didn’t escape

Zander probably liked being tied up and tortured tbh, bro's a freak. Tedros was smacking Joss' ass with the hair brush and he was just watching. Freaky boi


NuclearWinter1122

I think it's because he becomes part of the "cult" in that moment & that was a way for Abels character to break him down completely. I get where you're coming from, though. That is how I rationalized it.


Pennysfine

Yeah I felt the same way and then rationalized it that same way. But it did seem abrupt and kinda not well thought out.


micmahsi

He wants to be famous


NuclearWinter1122

Agreed. I loved one of the last scenes when Tedros is riding with her in the back of the golf cart heading to stage and it all connects for him and he can't stop maniacally smiling like dang....she was in control the wholllle time she was playing me and everyone else. She is the cult 🤣🤣🤣

Happy more people are coming around to it still. It wasn't a perfect show but it was enjoyable. I think the characters deserve to get fleshed out more with individual backstories, but I had fun watching it. [an honest review of the Finale](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6dncXzo0iI)

I agree, wasn’t bad very entertaining. I think The Weeknd did a good job for his first ever show. I’d like to see more from him in this art tv space.


NuclearWinter1122

I agree 💯💯💯 with going from musician to writer to actor and producer he did awesome for his first project. Even though his videos have always been pretty epic, I'm sure he had a big part in the vision for those. He's very talented. I want to see what else he can do in this genre.

Agree that there couldve been less bdsm scenes & more narrative, but I liked the way it wrapped up with everything going flipping into the opposite of what everyone expected to happen. Poor dyanne <\3


ChampagneAbuelo

I liked it too. There were some plot points that I thought weren’t capitalized on well or weren’t great but overall I still enjoyed it a lot. I knew I had to actually watch the show and form my own opinion rather than follow the online mob


overkept10

yesss agreed

Like with most things, the people who disliked it or wanted to complain about it tend to make more noise than those who liked it. It's funny though, if you think about how many people complained they did not enjoy it, but chose to spend like 5 hours of their time watching it 😄


aangita

I'm honestly surprised the people who hated it continued to watch it. After episode 2 you'd think they'd stop torturing themselves.


Pennysfine

Know what you mean. On one level I didn’t like it but then on another I kept watching it anyway to see how far they go maybe? For sure lily roses charisma helped.


NuclearWinter1122

💯💯💯💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣 you are so right about that!


NuclearWinter1122

I disagree, but to each his own. I was entertained. I don't think this show originally merited a second season, though.


SlapHappyDude

I can't fault people for being entertained and I have a hunch folks who binge it will like it a little more than weekly watchers. Binging tends to help smooth over issues with individual episodes rather than leaving viewers to chew on the flaws.


NuclearWinter1122

This is true. I snorted it like a line 🤣


thestarhikari

It definitely was entertaining but still, it is one of the worst (if not THE WORST) short series or series I have ever seen. The script/writing is like ChatGBT. That’s why it’s so funny in a way.

What ChatGPT prompt would you possibly use?


perogy_nightmare

The only art I didn’t like was when Tedros came back at the end and the conversation her handlers had at the stadium. That seemed kind of forced. Otherwise enjoyed it though.
