Idol rotten tomatoes newest show, The Idolhas caused quite a stir online. Before it was even released, it had gained massive popularity. But the show premiered with a terribly low Rotten Tomatoes score. Despite this, Sam Levinson's latest project has gotten a lot of attention, whether that is for the right or wrong reasons.

The Idol has been greeted with a less-than-desirable response after its premiere at Cannes Film Festival. Co-created by Sam Levinson and Abel Tesfaye , the forthcoming series stars Lily-Rose Depp as a troubled popstar on the rise who falls prey to a cult leader. Tesfaye, most commonly known by his musician stage name The Weeknd, plays the alluring but fearsome leader, Tedros. After its first screening on Monday 22 May , The Idol received a five-minute standing ovation from the audience. Despite the applause indicating widespread approval, less than a day later, the programme has an average score of only 10 per cent on the popular review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. For months ahead of its scheduled launch in June, The Idol has been subject to much discussion and controversy.

By Cheyenne Roundtree. But the clamor around The Idol might not have been exactly what Levinson had in mind. But on social media, stans may also be pitching in to help offset some negative reviews. According to a large sample of Rotten Tomatoes audience reviews for The Idol reviewed by Rolling Stone , the majority of positive reviews came from an influx of first-time reviewers in the first four days of its June 4 premiere. Out of 5-star reviews, only nine came from users who had previously rated another show, meaning 98 percent of the rave reviews came from users who were posting their first review on Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes did not respond to a request for comment for this story. HBO did not immediately respond, either.
