The show was actually originally being directed by Amy Seimetz and focused on Jocelyn’s industry troubles (the main parts of Episode 2). Sam Levinson and The Weeknd then led a creative overhaul and introduced Tedros and all of the softcore stuff. It literally feels like two shows mashed together.

📣Gratuitous nudity =/= art 📣 When this show was first announced, it sounded really interesting. Back then I thought it was gonna be character-driven, and show how power dynamics can influence people's actions. It could have been a thought-provoking series about how cults recruit their members when they're at their lowest ebb. But the showrunners decided to take it in a different, much shallower direction to the point where it's just a male power fantasy. Disappointed does not even begin to cover it 😒

@@lox7923 I think you’re taking it a bit literally, people are upset that it’s poorly written for a woman character so most women cannot relate to her, whereas before with the old director there was a much higher likelihood it would be realistic. When people say male lens they don’t mean it’s about a man or it focuses on a man too much, they mean the show is showing what specifically men want to see instead of writing for everyone on a human level. If most women cannot relate to a female character at all and can see blatant pointless fetishistic sexualization and see a lack of development or real care taken into exploring her character it’s most likely been written with a male lens. It is difficult for men to understand this because we are all limited to our perspectives and male characters (historically) have rarely been treated this way. I think part of the reason people are latching so much onto this show is because it’s claiming to be satirizing the exact problems it perpetuates.

That first plot point sounds wild. Basically she shows up to work, is asked to stick to the script of the photoshoot (you know, like any professional) and instead she gets mad and her and her team end up harassing a dude before locking him up she she can do what she wants. It feels like a really bad critique on the media industry about how you cant express your artistic freedom, but she also just signed up for work, refused to do so (and just dropped her clothes for no reason, which is an HR nightmare) in an industry where the big thing people like to criticize it about is how oversexualized the industry is

People are surprised Jennie's company didn't pull her from the project entirely, since kpop idols have such strict rules with what they can say/be involved in, etc. And I feel like that's even more telling of her as a person & and how much she's gotten caught up with the seemingly glamorous but actually disturbing nature of this industry the moment BP gained fame in the west. But it's literally not just her - it's a problem with all of the actors, and they should be held accountable for partaking in this shit.

In a sense I agree but also disagree as the comments under this do make sense too. But Jennie should have been pulled from the START, they know that sexual natured things don't fly in the kpop industry. And now she's being canceled over it(so I've read), like...we've been knowing what the shows context is, why now? 🤣🤣🤣 and then you have fans who claim that she should have had more lines just bc she's an idol... like yeah but this isn't kpop its an ODD American show in which a female director got fired..its not gonna fly like that. However, even aside this, BP is gonna be BP no shame in that. But jennie has a rep, she kinda does things like this, except this move specifically was unlike her, as its soft core porn and she usually goes for elegant but party girl stuff. She was pulled WAY too late IMO. People were gonna hate this either way but the involvement was iffy. Her CHARACTER though, was just a character. Its not who she really is, if anything im confused as to how far she got into this. If its kinda not good for her image or BP image, WHY get involved? Probably a good reason but I dont see it yet. Im kinda in the middle of this whole issue bc she's grown but ofc kpop is kpop and while she's still active, the opinions or whatever will STILL be relevant and thrown. We shouldn't hate her bc of the character she was given, its bad but so is the show. That's not her fault.

The audacity of the creators of this show to insist that it's "art". Everyone knows why you made the show, no amount of insisting it has a message makes up for how paper-thin that message is or the needlessly gratuitous way it depicts its story. It was a massive red flag when the female director left and The Weeknd said it was because the show was "lean[ing] too much into a female perspective", like a show with a female lead shouldn't be doing that. I honestly feel like the idea that spawned the series got replaced with this twisted wish fulfilment fantasy partway through production and all the series' heads lack the self-awareness to realise how that completely derails any sense of purpose the show might've had in the first place.

The fact that there has been drama behind the scenes of Euphoria for Sam Levinson asking for too much nudity from his actresses makes the whole scene about showing boobs so much more ridiculous and gross. Clearly he is all about “bodily autonomy” but it’s like bro YOU wrote the show. Your CHARACTERS are the ones preaching bodily autonomy, but at least some of your actors are not exactly thrilled about having to show so much skin. Charlie I love how you called attention to the fact that the intimacy coordinator is framed as the bad guy when he is in fact just doing his job. This show seems just exploitative and it’s not just there is nudity and a lot of sex, but it’s the messaging saying basically that it’s not sexploitation cinema and that America wants and deserves lots of sex and nudity and it’s empowering and blah blah blah. It’s just wayyyy to far

The thing is the production value is great but the writing is ruining it. The original plot was to focus on the toxic side of being a celebrity but they got sam levinson in and him and the weeknd being the geniuses decided to focus on the sexual part. Its just a waste of the production value.

I have to say, that I was actually really interested in the show at first, after I saw the Trailer. I thought they could explore a story about her life as a persona, showing her mental struggle of always performing as some ind of person while beginning to lose yourself. It could have been an interesting journey into the breaking of her psyche and let either inherit her role or find something different of value in her life. The dark sides of the industry could be explored accompanied with the alluring image of show-biz. While not entirely innovative of an idea, I really wanted to see how they would tackle this trope. The look of the show sold me even more. But sadly the show didn't deliver at all and seemed more like a veiled attempt for the writers to live out their sexual fantasies - it's actually ironic I guess, if you think about the environment of the show and how it is portrayed here ... I dropped it after the second episode, because I was just so fuckin' bored (and very much disappointed) :D Should have stayed with Oshi no Ko ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Iirc a lot of the pre-show drama involves the nepo-baby furor with Lily-Rose Depp and on top of that, the weeknd gave some kind of "you have to have a very high IQ to understand the idol" tantrum when people hated the first episode at the Cannes festival. So naturally, it doesn't matter how goofy the show is. They tanked it prior to the debut.
