I'm Natasha. And I'm just Dean. And today we are talking HBO's newest controversial show, The Idol. And this is the show that is the succession plan to succession.

Yeah. Yes, this is what they chose. This is, yeah. So yeah, it's filling a very prime spawn HBO Sunday night.

Yeah. Yeah. I think this is a care spot. I think it's a secure nine. I think game of throwing on a class. This is the slots of HBO. And this show has been steeped in a

controversy before it even came out. So for those of you who don't, we're going to obviously recap the show, but if you don't know anything about it, the little description that they give is after having a nervous breakdown that caused the cancellation of her last tour.
