I am not really sure on the message of the end. Does she realize she couldn't do this without Tedros, or does she go back to her abuser after seemingly breaking free of him? Straight trash.
I thought the ending was something Tedro was imagining while overdosing on drugs provided by Hank Azaria's people (remember "plan B"?). But I guess a young woman taking back her abuser is the most realistic ending.
Also, I feel like I missed an episode. Jocelyn turning on Tedros right from the start of the episode felt like it happened out of nowhere.
This is not the last episode, right? The ending makes no fucking sense.
do sam levinson and the weeknd think they'd die if the characters didn't namedrop problematic celebrities for five whole seconds
A bit nihilist for my taste but at least it fits the story that was being told. The first half of the episode gave me whiplash but it was all going too well to be believable.
There are still issues nonetheless. If the story was as big as they said, wouldn't the people in that crowd recognize Tedros? We know Jocelyn is fucked up at that point but the whole crowd just goes with it?
Good on Leia for getting away. Possibly the only good person at that house. I feel bad for Xander, Rob and Dyanne but I guess they needed to establish the pattern that Jocelyn can be victim, accomplice and perpetrator, all at the same time.
I wish they could have made this story in a way that people at least waited until the end to make up their minds about it.
this show makes no f sense. I really hope this is the end to the worst bs ever made.
What was the moral of this story? That there is no moral in Hollywood? Also the grown-ups are even worse than the kids. Seriously. Eli Roth goes from being so annoyed with their performances to being super enthusiastic. Like wtf?! Joslyn thrusting all over Eli Roth was a cringe fest. Why was this drama with Joslyn's ex introduced at all? And then she says Tedros is the love of her life? What in the actual hell? Why did we all watch this? Why was this made? This is not serious.
This show has taken the crown. It has not just dethroned Games Of Thrones for the worst ending I have ever seen.... It also took the crown of the worst show / movie I've ever seen in my 27 years on this green earth. This show is completely irredeemable.
They REALLY had me in the first half of the episode. I thought they were trying to recover and save the show. Tedro's was such a disgusting abuser and the things he did were actually unforgiveable, and thus far there has been NO action against him.... SO the first half with the huge power struggle between Joycelyn & Tedros felt AMAZING. Joycelyn was taking back her power, standing up for herself. They RUINED him, put an article out & he was FINISHED - it was hard fought. Tedro's got his just desserts after everything. I was like "this was rushed but I'm happy".
I was thinking "Man this show was rough but at least she won in the end." Then, they did the most unbelieve sh** I ever imagined.
They hit you with the "6 weeks later"......
Them showing Joycelyn's success - it was kinda nice to see. Then TEDROS WALKS IN, HAS A PASS READY, SEES HIM, SHE STILL MADLY IN LOVE WITH HIM. SHE EVEN INTRODUCES HIM AS THE LOVE OF HER LIFE TO HER FANS. UNBELIEVEABLE. I did not think it was possible. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever watched. I am 100% convinced it was The Weeknd's doing. He has such a huge ego he couldn't tell a complete story, he just HAD to be the winner & "good guy" in the end.
SO basically this show had no meaning - there's no point. It teaches no lesson, there is no moral. It was just a weird array of random BDSM torture porn scenes that The Weeknd got off to. There was no beginning, middle or end. No real progression, character development OR plot. It just existed.
It really felt like a disturbing look into The Weeknd's life and nothing more - he wrote it after all & it was made VERY clear from the show that he see's no issues with Tedro's or his actions.... You can TELL he think he thinks he's cool.
All it did was glorify extremely disgusting abusive behavior and there was no conclusion or moral to the story.... They could not portray the "bad guy" and his behavior as negative for more then 5 minutes.
The Abuser won.... and that's that.
WHY DOES THIS SHOW EXIST?
What a fake deep and non-sensical ending. I have a headache after watching this.
So Jocelyn was making up the abuse the whole time?
Was she actually in love with tedros or just needed someone as fucked up as her? What was the point?
To just make a pretty, glamorous, sexy show with no actual point? Tedros seemed just as confused as we were by the ending (which felt like the ending of a movie). This could've been soooo much more than what it was. Also I low key wanted to see a performance at the end. At least we got some decent songs from the show.
I'm so fcking confused with the ending...
3 stars for the Hunter Biden joke. Otherwise deserves a zero.
Edit: SPOILERS BELOW!! (The mobile app won't hide the text even with the spoiler feature on)
This whole show was just terrible. It seems like they want you to think that she was the one manipulating the guy all this time and lying about her abuse? But there were people who also claimed that she was abused and saw it happening. It makes no sense for it to be that she lied. The most possible scenario would be that she bought a new hairbrush that looked just like the old one. That way Ted dude thinks she was lying the entire time. Chloe used the brush and so did Ted in one episode. They would have noticed if it was new.
i need sam levinson gone
Amazing ending. I am gonna (re)watch all 5 episodes back to back real soon because this was a MOVIE. Definitely Sam Levinson's best work to date. So grand.
lmao what a joke, it doesn't make any sense
Brrr damn goosebump so powerful
