Lily Rose Depp's new TV show gets bad reviews at Cannes, many calling it torture porn.

"This is what happens when you show your cans at Cannes.

Critics dragged Lily-Rose Depp for showing too much nudity in her new HBO series, “The Idol,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday.

The 23-year-old daughter of Johnny Depp — who portrays pop star Jocelyn trying to make a comeback after having a breakdown — was accused of excessively flashing her breasts and bottom in the highly anticipated show co-created by The Weeknd and “Euphoria” director Sam Levinson.

“Rarely does a scene go by without the camera showing flashes of her breasts or ass,” the Hollywood Reporter wrote about the actress in a scathing review, adding, “You start to wonder if this is building to anything, and by episode two it seems likely that it’s probably not.”

Further, Variety claimed that Lily’s many sex scenes “scandalizes Cannes” in a review published Monday.

“Revenge porn photos of bodily fluids on Depp’s face, masturbation with ice cubes, nightclub-owning scam artists and vile Hollywood sycophants populated the first two episodes of the already-controversial series,” Variety wrote.

Kyle Buchanan of the New York Times jabbed, “’The Idol,’ or 50 SHADES OF TESFAYE: A Pornhub-homepage odyssey starring Lily-Rose Depp’s areolas and The Weeknd’s greasy rat tail,” referring to The Weeknd’s real name, Abel Tesfaye.

Buchanan added, “Love that this will help launch the HBO Max rebrand, should slot nicely next to ‘House Hunters!’”

Another critic called the second episode of the show “straight-up pornographic.”

“There’s an entire 10-minute scene of The Weeknd talking dirty to Lily while she fingers herself for him, then he tells her to suck his c–k and she gives him head. The worst part is that Sam Levinson originally wanted that scene to be longer, too,” the critic tweeted.

The Twitter user added that the show “heavily exploits” Lily, who apparently has sex in every episode.

“I hope she’s okay with it all because it comes off very exploitative,” the critic added.

sex is not scandalous. Shows like this are cringe.

Trying to be edgy like her dad. Looks like it backfired spectacularly. She needs someone who will help manage her choice in scripts. This ain't it, from space.

This is a cry for help.

She's lost.

What the hell???

Funny how her father was trying to keep his sugar baby Amber away from showing any nudity or doing anything remotely sexy when they were together, but his daughter is giving it up for the male gaze like a porn baby. She's saying "Look at me, Daddy."

Apparently, there's a scene in which The Weekend cries because he can't eat an egg out of Lily's vagina.

Lily Rose does look like a porn star, like Chloe Cherry from Eurphoria.

by Anonymousreply 14May 24, 2023 10:46 PM

She does she’s very cheap looking

Chloe Cherry has more personality though

Sad. This really sounds horrible, like someone set out to humiliate her in creating this shit to be as demeaning as possible while convincing her this will be a big break artistically so she can be taken seriously. Cannes used to be Depp's world and full of love for him. I wonder if the powers behind this did it specifically to humiliate Johnny by putting his daughter in the worst position possible at Cannes.

If Johnny had a baby with Kate, it would still look like Lily Rose.

Elizabeth Berkeley is really likable even thought Nomi is a whore darlin and Gina Gershon was great in showgirls. I doubt this sewer show will have any likable people in it.

R21 I can't see that scene without thinking of an epileptic dolphin having a gran mal.
