It’s been a wild journey but we are finally at the end of "The Idol." For a show that lived for the shock value, the ending could not have been more boring. We break it all down and give our final thoughts on the show that we hope, will never be relevant again.

**TW for content ahead** HBO announced this week that The Idol is ending after only five episodes, and we here at Pop Rocks and Tea couldn't be more thankful! Lydia recaps this week's episode, which features a murder plot, more weird sex scenes and arguably the most disturbing torture scene ever put to television.

Somehow this show continues to get weirder and weirder...in this week's recap of The Idol, Lydia breaks down the show's third episode in which Tedros and Jocelyn disrespect a Valentino store, do some *very* suspicious things with a hairbrush and a whole lot more.

Trigger warnings: abuse, violence, blood, mental illness, substance abuse, sexual abuse

The Idol is proving to be the gift that keeps on giving- in the worst way. If episode 1 was a mess, episode 2 takes all of the show's controversies to the next level. From Jocelyn's uncomfortable addition to her song, to the even more uncomfortable sex scene, Sonikka breaks the episode down, and give us her take on what to make of Tedros Tedros (name so good, you have to say it twice apparently).
