The show was terrible but I kept watching because I thought the main character would eventually get smarter and kick The Weekend to the curb...
And it seemed like that happened, then they took it all back at the very end.
One of the most pointless shows I've ever seen.
Although if the original director/showrunner wouldn't have quit during filming their original vision probably would have been decent.
I liked the show. I understood the ending was that Joslyn? Was the most evil and revenge driven of everyone.
She brings Tedros back as revenge against her team who thought they controlled the whole situation. They were celebrating and patting themselves on the back, and tedros return was an ultimate fuck you to them and showing that she is in charge.
On top the tedros return was ultimate humiliation for him. She brings him on stage then shows how she has total control over him. He is not the confident controlling pimp from the start anymore, he is now destroyed and just a lap dog plaything for her to use as she wants.
This means at the end she has fucked over and controls everyone, with her fans never idolising her more.
