Depp took to Instagram to celebrate the wrapping up of her highly criticized series, "The Idol," in which she starred as one of the main characters.

The actress, who portrayed upcoming pop star Joycelyn in the show, uploaded several snapshots that appeared to have been captured during the creation of the controversial HBO project.

In one shot, the actress could be seen donning a sexy bathrobe-like dress with lacy fringes. The outfit was also opened at its center, displaying Depp's smooth skin and cleavage.

A second shot featured her dancing with her co-star The Weeknd, who starred in "The Idol" as a nightclub impresario named Tedros.

A third captured her strutting her stuff amid a group of dancers, while a couple more featured her in racy clothing, with other cast members immortalizing their on-set moments.

Depp added a caption to her "The Idol" photo dump that expressed her gratitude to fans who watched the show. "That's a wrap on season 1 of @theidol.Thank you all for watching, listening, laughing & crying with us," she began.

She also thanked her cast and crew members who made the project a success, adding a special mention for director Sam Levinson and singer The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye.

She continued, "Thank you to everyone-cast, crew, and everyone in between who poured their hearts into making this show. Thank you Sam and Abel for the wildest, most beautiful journey of my life& My idol family… I love you guys till the end of time."

The actress then concluded the write-up with red heart emojis and kisses alongside her character's name.

In the comment section, several fans voiced their opinions about the show, with many stating that Depp made the wrong decision by starring in it.

One fan said, "You deserved so much better. This show was incredibly abusive and honestly I don't know how you're defending it."

Another follower commented, "Hopefully just one season. You deserve a better project. And well, maybe The Weeknd should stick to music."

A third described the series as "The worst show ever." However, not all of the reviews were negative. Some fans lauded the actress's performance and urged the showrunners to greenlight a second season.

A fan noted, "I want a season 2 already!!! Don't listen to all the hate! People just don't understand the bigger picture of this show."

Another commented, "Anyone saying the show was exploitive or degrading lacks serious critical thinking skills. You portrayed an honest depiction of the entertainment industry."

Depp's "The Idol" tribute comes after the show was repeatedly slammed online for its overtly sexual content and violence. It has also received heavy flak from news outlets, with one even calling the show a "Pornhub-homepage odyssey."

On the other hand, Depp has defended the controversial series several times. In one interview with The Sun, she noted that she had no issues with going nude for multiple scenes.

"It's all me. I love doing that kind of work. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. And I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying that kind of work," Depp stated.

She added, "Every outfit, every interaction, every piece of nudity—all those things are very intentional and were really important to me."

In another interview, she defended the "bareness" of her character," saying it was a necessary part of her aura as "a born and bred performer," per Daily Mail.
