After all of the hype, The Idol mostly turned out to be a disappointment – mainly due to the lost potential. The initial premise, exploring the ups and downs a child-star-turned-superstar faces as she mounts a comeback and has to deal with a creepy cult guy weaseling his way into her life, sounded like it had so much promise. Then the show premiered and it was… let’s say, not really what people had been hoping for… We’ve already covered everything that went wrong with the show, so now we’re taking a look at what the show could have been, and where it could go if it does manage to get a second season.
