The marketing for The Weeknd’s and Sam Levinson’s upcoming HBO series The Idol continues to insist that it’s a dark and depraved Hollywood nightmare, but beyond seeing part of a butt, ominously bass-heavy music, and Hank Azaria dramatically lowering his stylish sunglasses, we still don’t quite see it. That’s probably by design, since the show is going out of its way to be very mysterious and its assuming that viewers will be more interested in its impressive cast than any plot details (or in seeing the entirety of a butt), but at some point does HBO have to say more than “check out this slimy and sexy trash from Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye and Sam ‘The Euphoria’ Levinson” to get people to tune in?
