At least there’s only one episode left.
With four episodes down and only one left, Sam Levinson's The Idol has somehow based its entire existence on vibes. While the creators might think that this is the whole point of it all—to feel—it doesn't necessarily make for the most compelling television. It turns out that you need a plot in order to have any sort of successful series, and this one's got none up its sleeve.
'The Idol's Plot Is Practically Nonexistent The series is almost over and there's little to be said for who any of these people are or how they've grown over the past four episodes. And if that wasn't enough, there isn't much plot development, either, given that we've mostly been relegated to Jocelyn's house, which has basically become one, big cesspool of vibes gone rotten. Frankly, The Idol's biggest sin is that it's pretty damn boring.
‘The Idol’s Focus on Vibes Is Not Working When a series is essentially planned around the premise of vibes, nothing of substance can actually occur because there was no time carved out for any sort of real plot. Sure, the point of The Idol could simply be placing a spotlight on the trials and tribulations of being in the public eye, but because so much of it revolves around the mystery of Tedros and his cult-like influence, whatever that original point was has gotten lost in the sauce.
