I don't generally hate-watch any TV shows. There are too many good shows to waste time on bad shows. But I did make an exception recently. I started watching The Idol. I purposely use the past tense, because I have given it up after 2 episodes. It is shockingly bad. If you've ever seen the film Showgirls, it is that same level of awfulness, cheesiness and cringiness. Terrible plotting, terrible acting, and simply unwatchable. How could HBO follow up Succession with this monstrosity? One of several HBO missteps recently - having inexplicably rebranded their streaming service from HBO Max to just Max and added a load of non-HBO content that I will never watch - it feels like peak TV has officially ended.
