Interviews suggest Abel intended the character to be pathetic, but the characters all behave as though he's potentially a major concern to Jocelyn's safety and treat him like a threat rather than a loser.

Nothing about the previous four episodes imply that Jocelyn was doing this, and at the same time, it also isn't true that she isn't under Tedros' control, as she proves ''she still needs him in her life''.]]

Added DiffLines:
** The viewer doesn't really get to know what Jocelyn, her public image, and her music were like prior to her affair with Tedros. As a result, the idea that she shifted in any significant way or another loses a lot of its punch. The series only ever alludes to the idea that Jocelyn had a squeaky clean image, with an audience mostly composed by young girls, but never really shows, as a result, the viewer doesn't really get to have a benchmark for how much she, or her work, changed by the end of the show. The change the viewers do get to see is minimal at best, since Jocelyn was already trying to create a really raunchy, adult song, which was exactly what Tedros encourages her to do.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Even the most scathing reviews will praise Lily-Rose Depp's acting as a troubled but still clearly hurting woman overwhelmed by fame and note that she does her best with material that's questionable at best. The scene where Jocelyn dissociates and calls for her late mother after grueling hours of filming her music video was especially considered a highlight of the series.
