After watching the first episode of the series, one of the viewers tweeted: “Just watched #TheIdol and Jesus Christ it’s like a student film with a big budget. Sam Levinson is trying to be deep but his writing is just fucking weird. Also The Weeknd’s character is fucking creepy as fuck and makes me hate the actual Weeknd”.
Another fan wrote: “being naturally hot bothers a lot of people but jennie bears that burden our diva💋”, given it is BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s acting debut there have been a lot of talk surrounding that too. Let us have a look at it all down below.
