HBO’s American drama “The Idol” officially premiered, and the previously released episode preview first revealed a large number of explicit and explicit scenes. In addition, BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s first challenge as an actress in a drama has made fans eagerly anticipate it! However, after the first episode aired, Jennie’s hot and sexy dance was harshly criticized by netizens as being too explicit, and it only received a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. What is the reason behind this?
The trailer for the HBO series “The Idol,” starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weekend, has garnered a lot of attention. With its explicit content and Jennie’s Hollywood debut, it has been a hot topic of discussion. From the trailer to the first episode, the content has been criticized for lacking depth. Many critics have pointed out that there is an excessive amount of explicit and sexual scenes, even raising concerns about gender discrimination in “The Idol.” It has become HBO’s lowest-rated work to date!

And the most criticized aspect is that the female lead, Lily-Rose Depp, is almost always seen in revealing outfits. The Hollywood Reporter also pointed out that “there are hardly any scenes in which Lily-Rose Depp doesn’t show her breasts or buttocks” in the series. Controversial scenes include photos of the female lead with semen on her face, intimate scenes with The Weekend, and scenes of self-pleasure with ice cubes. These explicit sex scenes, while highly controversial, make it difficult for viewers to bear!
“The Idol” became Jennie’s “debut work” as an actress, playing the role of dancer “Dyanne” in the drama. Although she had few scenes and screen time, Jennie performed a provocative and sensual dance with a group of dancers. The explicit performance was heavily criticized for its vulgar and sexual content, and was even compared to “pornographic films.” Many questioned why YG would choose such a trashy film for Jennie!
