| The Idol |
Happy Father's Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 18!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Idol (HBO & Max, 9 p.m.). This horrible show, which is supposedly set in Euphoria-verse, finds the rising pop star Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) amidst a revenge porn scandal, seeking refuge with cult leader/self-help guru Tedros (Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd). It all plays out as big-budget misogyny, created by Tesfaye and Sam Levinson. ("What's wrong with [Tedros' vibe]?" "He's so... rape-y." "Yeah, I kinda like that about him.") All men have to do is talk to and be a little rough with women, and then they will always be satisfied! The Weeknd can't act, and despite a good supporting cast, the show is regressive and incapable of finding any sort of level-headed voice.
Elsewhere, Ridley comes out of retirement, Endeavour begins his curtain call, Lazarus reconsiders the enemy, Natasha Lyonne meets Eric Andre, the Great Food Truck Race returns, Brandon Jordan starts a Search Party, Rev. Al Sharpton is a Loudmouth, and a Righteous Gemstone is in semi-retirement.
