    The dialogue from The Weeknd was awful and his acting was mediocre

    I <3 the Weeknd’s music but man, as soon as he appeared in the trailer I just got this vibe that this whole thing was going to suck big fat donkey balls. What @freamon@feddit.nl said is on point, it’s rare for HBO to eff up so badly.

      Yess exactly. Have been a huge fan of him so I continued watching it for the music but giving him the lead role was a big mistake .

          Not bad, worked well with the show. Standalone If you’re not gonna watch it I’d recommend

          • Dollhouse
          • Fill the void
