Euphoria

[calabazarock]

What really bugs me about the perception of Cassie is that everyone is so on her betraying Maddie. We know Nate is shit, but he is f****** his friend's ex and no one seems to care or make a big deal out of it.

Has anyone watched it?

So I’m on episode 6 so far and I am enjoying it but omfg NATE IS SUCH A BASTARD. I’ve never felt rage like it. What he’s doing to poor Tyler and Jules . It makes me so mad! His dad isn’t much better, they do say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Interested to see where it goes for them both though

I’m also sat watching it like ‘ is this really how teens are carrying on now of days?’ What with all the sex, parties, drugs, nudes, blackmailing with nudes, it’s absolute madness! I’m only 25 but it certainly wasn’t that bad when I was a teen. If that’s how teens are acting now, gosh I don’t ever want to have kids who will inevitably grow into teens .

It’s also strange to see Dr Sloan () being a dad and to a teenager! He’s a silver fox now.

I think I’m crushing on Sydney, the girl is

Episode 5 the acting is so good. Heartbreaking

Yes you have to wonder if Kat’s character development or lack of is down to her pissing off the director as rumoured. Actually hated her in this episode…. Poor Ethan

i've always hated her

 

[BettyCrockerr]

This thread talks about it

Exactly. It’s a load of shite.

In the teaser for next week

Spoiler: SPOILER FOR NEXT WEEK

it shows Kat with Ethan and people have said she has more to do this episode so I guess that will be resolved earlier

also

Spoiler: TEASER FOR REST OF SEASON

there were leakers on twitter that said
-Nate has a redemption arc and gets the DVD of his dad and Jules from Maddy, giving it to Jules
- Lexi’s play is I think the finale they said and Fez/Ashtray have another police raid as Faye ratted them out to save herself and her bf. It’s said that Ashtray dies and Fez doesn’t make it to Lexi’s play
- Gia, Rue’s sister, is taken by trafficking people after being mistaken for Rue in the finale?

this is all from twitter as I say so could probably be BS but with the way the season is going I can see it happening!

Spoiler: SPOILER

The episode 8 leaks aren’t true. Reviewers were only shown up to episode 7, so any information online is false as no-one has watched it yet.

The hot tub scene…

 

[Blowup80]

I reckon Maddie is gonna get it on with the lady she babysits for. Just had a feeling when she helped her out that dress. Or is it because I watch it with my fella?

 

[BettyCrockerr]

The amount she was in it last season, they could feasibly just never mention her again tbh. I don’t think anyone would really notice. There weren’t really any major storylines that would be left hanging involving her.

And the scenes she was in were bizzare - like the one of her and him at the restaurant when she dumped him?! So weird!!!!

 

[Rahrah]

The bit that is living rent free in my mind at the moment is the bit when Cassie’s mum tells her to lay off Rue because Rue is a ‘good girl’. So is Cassie, but her own mother doesn’t think so. That’s really sad.
Also re the swat team, maybe they are after Laurie, she seems like a bigger fish with much scarier connections for things like people trafficking that Fexco and Ashtray don’t have.

 

[sleepingsatellite]

Anyone else super disappointed with how it's going so far? I feel like there's been so many sub plots just abandoned or rushed, and with one episode left idk where its going at all

it all seemed a lot more aimless before Episode 5. a Rue centric episode but definitely a catalyst for bringing things together. which only reinforces my thoughts that this whole series is inspired a lot by the film Magnolia - a personal favourite of mine.

 

[megsmagoo]

Feeling stressed about these potential spoilers on Reddit that were posted earlier in the thread

what a rollercoaster this season has been

 

[sleepingsatellite]

I loved the school play!!!! Ethan is a legend!!!!
Is Cassie really not seeing how obviously gay Nate is? Really??

Spoiler: Vulture recap

I had a read of the Vulture recap which made a credible suggestion of Nate having been abused by Cal as a child. He’s a very messed up character but good on Lexi for bringing him and Cassie down a peg or two!

I’d like to know how big the budget was for the play. From some of the sets, I’d say it was equivalent to the budget of Titanic.

i have to admit i suspend my disbelief on this and the school just letting Lexi run wild on the play.

 

[LaBlonde]

Yes definitely, Handmaid's Tale is another one where it just does what it wants and doesn't really care what the audience thinks as they know people will still watch anyway.

handmaid’s tale is a perfect example. it’s all set up to look amazing and have great scenes, but the actual plot just meanders all over the place. it’s similar to peaky blinders, which has completely random music video walking scenes in it. it looks great, it’s incredibly stylish, the performances are good but when you break it down - what’s the actual plot?

the tone of euphoria is weird to me because it wants to be deep very badly and take itself super seriously but it’s simplest relationships are the most involving ones from a viewer pov.

i did love how the audience at the play seemed to confirm that the rest of the school basically hates that whole group though. i feel like i would hate them too

 

[PineappleQueen19]

@LaBlonde you have just sent me down the excellent rabbit hole of Angus Twitter content for which I can only thank you.

Also his profile pic is *chefs kiss*

Also, have we seen the next episode preview? Brace for impact everyone

 

[dontcome@me]

Trailer for next episode is out

Spoiler

I swear to god, if anything happens to Fezco and he doesn’t make it to Lexi’s play, I will godamn riot!

 

[LaBlonde]

I mean, it’s been a long time since I was at school and I live in the U.K. rather than America, but surely the play would have had to have been run past an adult at some point before they got to perform it? I don’t think it would have even gotten to the casting stage in this country as it would be seen as a form of bullying because the characters are so obviously based on real pupils (obviously I know that this is where suspension of disbelief comes into play, but still…).

exactly this! how did lexi even get to the stage without at least one teacher looking over it? who was running the rehearsals? who arranged the ridiculous stage revolve that no high school would ever be able to afford? i know you have to suspend belief to a point but it’s ridiculous.

 

[calabazarock]

Love this show. I'm very invested where Lexi's character is going.
