"It was like one of those movies in the early 2000's men got to make because they wanted to see their fave actresses nude or in sex scenes.
Lily Rose Depp is such a great actress and this is reductive and sad. And The Weeknd cannot act. Cringe." Another user claimed the show "went overboard" with the sex scenes.
