HBO Will Cancel “The Idol” Because Viewers Hate It, According to Their Twitter Posts — But Network Still Denies It

HBO viewers hate “The Idol.” They say so on Twitter.

Last night’s episode, which was only 45 minutes but featured several scenes of kinky sex, really upset them, too. I don’t know how many are left. Last week’s episode had only 135,000 sets of eyes on the HBO channel. Tomorrow we’ll find out the actual numbers for last night.

Here’s a sampling of opinions.

boyfriend is completely off social media and when we were looking for a new series to watch together he saw “the idol” and said “what is this? maybe we can watch this?”. my sweet innocent man, let me introduce you to what twitter is saying about this absolute monstrosity lmao

The Idol is LEGITIMATELY one of the WORST things I’ve ever seen. The names attached to it have to be the only reasons it got released because my GOD.

Every Monday I wake up and watch all the #THEIDOL out of context clips and just sit there in awe of how stupid and disgusting this show is. Imagine going from Succession to The Idol. HBO is insane for airing this show.
