Okay right off the bat this outfit was super cute. I am still impressed with Lily’s ass. It truly looks natural even if its not.
However, her outfit was the only good thing about this scene because this whole moment was a mess. Not to mention them fucking in the dressing room. That was just so…..ugly. I will say that Lily is acting for her life! I really think that is the biggest silver lining of this entire show. I see why Timothee was into her. I was shocked when she said that he couldn’t come inside her. She does have some sort of discernment still left in her. For now.
This entire scene was so………this man is fine he should have been Tedros. The Weeknd is just such a bad actor I truly cannot take anything he says seriously in this show.
Everyone (except Abel) were acting their ass off in this scene!!! I thought this was going to be the Rolling Stone scene but it wasn’t. Still bracing myself for that. I miss Dan Levy. This is also where they got the promo shot of them in the car from. Its sad that Chaim and hopefully not Destiny only care about Tedros being able to produce songs from her and not if he’s actually even safe for her to be around. Lily looked gorgeous here. Her hair is so thin because she obsessed brushes her hair and boy can you tell.
Jury I am afraid she ate! Jennie’s character follows the rule2👩🏿⚖️
This scene was lighted so beautifully3. I am unnerved by miss peeping tom but I think her whole deal is that Tedros did this to her before and now he is replacing her with Jocelyn. Troye was also acting his ass off. The idea to make the cum picture her album cover was a good idea I do have to agree. The risks are definitely high, but the cultural impact could be huge. I see the vision. However, doing that at a time where she is so vulnerable and honestly holding on by a thread is most likely going to end badly only for Jocelyn. Another example of people putting their wants (Troye who wants to benefit from the credit of making the cum picture the album cover) above Jocelyn’s well being.
Okay this entire scene was a lot. First of all I understand why she is trying to get with Izaak that man is fine as hell. However, his singing was not good and did not make me want to fuck him at all after that. It is fucked up that she knows Leia likes him and still wanted Izaak to kiss her. I guess she is assuming that if Leia knew how they operated then she would be okay with it (?). That scene really just proved that this was a cult and even Jocelyn tried to reason with them logically and not agree with their ways but ultimately she was curious. I hate that Tedros is using her trauma as something that he can exploit for his financial gain. I still don’t understand how he can get away with being someone that all these people have to listen to. I have not seen any reason for them to trust his judgement besides him “trying to stretch them creatively” but it really just seems like making people justify the pain that they go through for the benefit of someone else. I personally think that someone would have every right to not want to make a song that would help people if that meant bringing back a loved one. No one is entitled to help theoretical people when they have the option to save someone they actually love.
I think the narrative that Izaak and Tedros are trying to instill into Jocelyn is soooo gross and manipulative. To make her feel like her mother abusing her was worth it if Tedros gets to abuse her into making “good” songs. The problem is that the logic doesn’t make sense. If Jocelyn’s mother was abusing her before and Jocelyn did not like the music that she was making, why would she make music that she likes when you abuse her? Sam Levinson has not given us any reason to believe that Tedros knows what he’s talking about. Jocelyn ate him up with the i’ve been doing this for a decade line. The only one who is peeping all this shit is Leia (Rachel Sennott) and she is my favorite character along with Destiny. I just know (hope) she is going to be instrumental in getting Jocelyn out of this cult. If Tedros doesn’t kill her or something first.
This entire seen was just so gross. I didn’t get any pictures of him actually hitting her because I was just in disgust. Like my god. Sam Levinson what is your weird obsession with seeing women suffer? Are you unable to have women characters that are happy with their lives? Like hello? I just don’t understand what Sam Levinson thinks is so groundbreaking. You are taking a very broken and emotionally vulnerable person and putting her in the hands of a really annoying, ugly, uncredited, untalented person with a rat tail and letting him abuse her and calling it art. Maybe I am dumb but I just don’t get it. How is this helping anyone? How is this shedding any light on an issue we usually don’t get to see? I think everyone knows cults are bad and everyone can kind of understand how someone gets into one. I really hope there is something about this show that justifies Sam Levinson making it make sense because so far I am still lost.
or your closest black friend. co workers that you don’t talk to outside of work don’t count.

Sam Levinson can make a beautiful shot I’ll give him that.
