3/10
Stop trying to shock us and just give us content

Warning: Spoilers
My three takeaways from the first episode 1. This is what Johnny Depp would look like as a girl. 2. Damn, she's got big nipples! 3. He just ruined that pretty robe. HBO is trying way too hard with this show! I guess maybe it's a satire. It starts off with a naked Lily Rose Depp and she pretty much stays naked throughout the show. It moves on to her handler's talking about a selfie of her with c** on her face. Then it spends way too long showing bits of a tedious choreographed dance, chock full of simulated sex moves. (Yawn). Then she meets the Weekend. My God could he be any less interesting? His acting is completely unconvincing. He's got no depth, no charm and no charisma whatsoever. The remaining cast checks all the diversity boxes and meets all the stereotypical requirements that we would expect. The whole production is just really vapid and one dimensional. Ya, I won't be going back for episode 2.
