Can HBO's The Idol' Bring Back '80s Sleaze?

A slick executive drives a cherry red convertible.A nightclub owner carries a coke spoon and wears his hair in a rat tail.A troubled pop star masturbates while choking herself.Those images might have come from an erotic thriller made by Brian De Palma, Paul Verhoeven or Adrian Lyne, directors who were prominent in the 1980s and 1990s thanks to movies like Body Double (Mr. De Palma), Basic Instinct (Mr. Verhoeven) and 9 Weeks (Mr. Lyne).
