Hey man don't compare this show to tumblr fan fiction, at least some tumblr fan fiction has passion and effort put into it

Don't cry because it happened.
Smile because it's over.

Fun Fact: TheWeeknd didn't "sign up" for his pre-written role. Him and the director CO-WROTE THIS SHOW. Both are equally responsible for this absolute catastrophical mess.

Looking at Levinson's recent works, I genuinely believe he just gets off on shows that portray seemingly underage girls naked and extremely sexualized.
Someones gotta look into this dude.

I don’t even think Jocelyn ever wore a sweater or a full size shirt that didn’t have her nips protruding through like blades. It was just a weird fetish fantasy for these creators with some fake deep message.

I get the feeling the show's creator is one of those guys where if you asked him "why don't you just make porn" he'd reply. "I don't make porn like some degenerate. I make ART."

Based on some BTS pictures and info I've gleaned, the show was originally about Jocelyn being a Disney TV-esque teen idol trying to transition to being an adult pop star, and her story was basically a mixture of what happened with Britney Spears and Hannah Montana. It was supposed to be commentary on how the media treats young famous girls, especially how Hollywood preys on them on a systemic level. And them Levinson got his cum-riddled hands all over the project

The existence of this show is the proof we have that all the real writers are all on strike

You always know a show is gonna be bad when it only exists to show off the actors, and the storyline is just an added spice.

Watching him rant is like listening to your child complain about how bad his day at school was today

What's truly horrifying is how quickly someone was able to defeat "Velma" in the great contest to make the worst TV show possible

The fact that she's bragging about the show on her social media shows you how manipulative Hollywood is. Used her to get her clothes off and convinced her she was making something groundbreaking just so they can bust nuts.

The way they really tried to spin it that Jocelyn was the one in control after treating her like an animal the entire series is more insulting than anything

Charlie is giving me the experience of having a housewife that tells me about the soap operas I have never seen when I get home from work.

Just trying to imagine The Truman Show ending with Christof just being “the real world is ugly out there… nothing bad happens here, it’s all about you” and Truman just sitting for a second and goes “Yea… you’re right” then just sails back home.

Sam Levinson treating a $75 million dollar show like I treated my 5th grade science project: super invested at first then by the time it was supposed to wrap up, just doing the bare minimum to get it over with whether it made sense or not, all while pretending it was planned out all along.

A plot twist is something that catches you off guard, not something that makes you confused and barely understand.

It pisses me off knowing that we'll NEVER get to see the original script from the original director before she was fired. Apparently the story was so good the editors said they couldn't put the pages down.

And now we got the degen version of this.

The fact that The Weeknd did this and even defended it is crazy

It’s the weeknds show, so he genuinely wrote/helped write his character. originally they had a women director but the weeknd fired her as he felt the show needed more of a man’s vision instead of a woman’s perspective lmao. then he recruited sam to help him finish the show
