In the sex scene in the second episode of The Weekend, The Idol, he talks about his “fat tongue” with the charisma of someone who has just had a lobotomy; dizzying levels of horror.
So bad that love songs suddenly sound really bad

#IDOL it’s good when it’s only focused on jocelyn’s life and her downfall. The last 20 minutes really traumatized me with the shy acting of the week. I will never forgive sam levinson for adding this weird thing and ruining the show. pic.twitter.com/dKXvSPlGfq

This complicates the second part #Idol.
Between involuntary fawning and justified fascination.
Everything around Joss is really successful, but as soon as we get to The Weeknd, everything gets a lot more superficial and silly.
FINE after that.
