The Weeknd can't act
5 June 2023
Some artists are not meant to be actors. The Weeknd is a good singer, a great artist but not a good actor. There is 0 chemistry between Lily Rose and The Weeknd, the romantic scenes are cringe. Lily Rose does fine but the series lacks direction. The character of Jocelyn is loosely based on Britney Spears. The show does address Hollywood's obsession with romanticizing mental illness and how they don't care if a pop star who is supposed to set some standards in the society is just out there spreading herself. Unfortunately, this series lacks a good direction, the cast could have been better. I guess Jared Leto would have done a fab job but lets see what more this series can bring.
