The Take goes into what we lost in The Idol, which originally was supposed to be a dark character study of a grown up child star who gets wrapped in a cult from Amy Seimetz (The Girlfriend Experience, She Dies Tomorrow). Seimetz was allegedly fired with the show 90% done because The Weekday felt the show was too female-centered and wanted more focus on his character.

The dark satire then became what it did with Abel and Euphoria's Sam Levinson at the wheel.

The Take also questions where a potential season two would go and if Levinson and Weekday would be willing to do so.
