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 .

How is the music? I haven't checked out the stuff from the show yet.

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

Family
Dollhouse
Fill the void
My Sweet lord cover by Troye Sivan (who also surprised me with his acting)

Thanks. I've listened to a bit of each, they all seem decent! Will add them to the playlist.
