It's a hit in Scandinavia and Latin America, but hasn't performed as well in the US, per data from FlixPatrol.
HBO's "The Idol" was divisive before it even debuted on June 4, and its popularity around the world has also been uneven, according to new data.
But the controversies started for "The Idol" well before the reviews started rolling in.
A bombshell story from Rolling Stone in March said the show had gone "wildly, disgustingly off the rails," according to interviews with 13 sources.
Tesfaye called the Rolling Stone article "ridiculous" in an interview with Vanity Fair shortly after its publication.
