HBO loses audience with the worst sex scene in history
HBO has been offering very good shows but it looks like they also offered the worst sex scene. Here are all the details.
HBO has been quite successful in the last couple years with the shows they offer but the company has managed to offer the worst sex scene too. Their new show Idol has disappointed viewers. Between its premiere and its rough second episode, The Idol lost over 100,000 viewers.
HBO show Idol loses with the worst sex scene
In the second episode, Jocelyn masturbates, self-harms while mourning her dead mother, and eventually becomes a sex slave to The Weekend's character, Tedros. In what the British edition of GQ describes as "the worst sex scene in history", Jocelyn satisfies herself but fails to satisfy viewers.
A news in Variety revealed that the new episode attracted 800,000 viewers on Max and HBO on the same day, and this figure was 913 thousand at the premiere. HBO has been quite successful for the past couple years offering shows like Game of Thrones and the Last of Us but unfortunately not every show they offer goes well. The Idol, which received a standing ovation for 5 minutes after its premiere in Cannes, received harsh reactions from the critics.
