Euphoria

[Mayday]

I can't wait for Nate's dad to get found out (hopefully).

The amount of nudity of the show makes me uncomfortable, given they're meant to be playing teenagers. I don't remember Skins being as explicit. I kind of wonder if Sydney Sweeney will regret it in the future - I have a feeling she might get typecast or be expected to do nudity in other projects.

Loved this episode!!!!

Cal is really growing on me. I’m glad they have allowed the character to break and for his secrets to come out and that they didn’t just keep him as the token evil guy that he was initially. His drunken monologue was so sad and painfully honest which is the first time he’s ever been honest with his family but also himself. Very interested to see how this develops and yes, where is their 3rd child???

nate & Cassie - oh come on, there’s no way they would have been able to keep this under wraps! I thought Lexi had cottoned on but that was kind of ambiguous. Cassie’s drunken breakdown was both sad to watch but played in a slightly comedic wayC when she gets into the hot tub and when she’s just drunkenly sat there awkwardly perched on the side!!! Actually liked Nate in this episode- he seemed slightly more genuine and I liked that he was honest and said that he wasn’t back with Maddy.

im finding it hard to believe that Jules was oblivious to the fact that Rue has been off her face the entire time. I mean come on!!! Rue looks like she’s three sheets to the wind and is all over the place!!!!
Really annoyed that Jules & Elliot just start getting with eachother - Jules is meant to be head over heels in love with Rue, so what is she doing? And Elliot KNOWS why Rue is behaving the way she is but gets with Jules anyway. I thought that was so shady.

would have preferred some more scenes with Rue and her mum/sister/Fez - more explanation of what she’s going to do with the suitcase of drugs/more Fez & Lexi etc rather than wasting time with the over the top long winded dream sequences. Rue “seeing” her Dad and the whole church/gospel singer thing went on too long for me as did Cassie dancing in the balloons and Cal dancing in the gay bar. It felt like filler.

That was genius storytelling and editing, the way the past, the present and the play were all interwoven. That strange feeling of us, the Euphoria viewers, watching the characters, as theatre audience members, watching (and reacting to) their own storylines unfold within the play - amazing. And on top of that, knowing that whatever happens to Fez & Ashtray takes place prior to the play unfolding - mind blown.

Great to see Maude Apatow come into her own. Yes her start in acting was nepotism but she’s talented in her own right. Looking forward to seeing what she does after Euphoria.

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.

 

[BridgetJones]

I didn’t like the latest episode. Way too much music scenes and not enough plot. I don’t need 10 aesthetic scenes where people are crying with flowers around them in just one episode. These scenes don’t take the plot any further.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

The scene in the school bathroom was superb - great to see those characters together. So well acted, the dialogue about the oaklahoma misunderstanding and Cassie’s ‘confession’

 

[FruitLover strawberry]

The absolute stress of that episode
Omg

 

[Smca53]

HBO have posted about it now. So sad so young.

 

[Bleurghgram]

I love what it’s doing to normalise male bodies on tv rather than always women

This hurts

I had no idea he suffered a horrific brain injury, that’s why his speech was slowed.


“In 2013 - aged 14 or 15 - he became separated from friends and fell into a 12-foot deep construction pit which he had failed to spot. Cloud said he woke up 12 hours later with a broken skull and recounted how he climbed out in a daze with broken fingers. He then returned home to his mother before spending five days in ICU recovering.”

How a brain injury changed Michael Hutchence is one thing - he was an adult with a fully formed brain and it still changed his entire personality as well as loss of taste and smell — poor Angus was just a child, his brain never had a chance to properly develop in the first place. No wonder he struggled with addiction

Angus continues to smash Twitter

 

[LaBlonde]

I refuse to watch him in anything else or watch any interviews because I refuse to believe he doesn’t just speak like that in real life

well i can happily confirm that i have just watched an interview and he speaks the exact same way!

 

[Heyholetsgo]

I just want to see Fez and Lexi get it on and I can die happy in a non pervy way

 

[Pinkii]

I cannot see Zendaya, Jacob Eldori or Sydney Sweeney staying past S3 - they are all getting booked like crazy and very in demand right now.

Sydney Sweeney is the most overrated thing out of that show, ok actress and average looking imo.

alexa should have been the breakout star, but hollywood still loves them a busty blonde

 

[HarJR289]

I love this show so much! I even get up early Monday morning to watch before the kids are up & before work

so many questions/thoughts - who was the 3rd son on the family portrait?! Why the hell did the drug dealer just hand Rue over 10k worth of drugs so easily - I dread to think of what’s gonna happen! I feel sorry for Nate, he’s so messed up, I love Maddy and Cassie but I wish Cassie would stay away from him.

also, huge Fez fan - why are we like this haha.

Jules pisses me off.

 

[watermelon sugar]

I started season 1 the other night. That carousel scene

 

[LaBlonde]

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

i want her and fez to get together so badly. like i haven’t “shipped” a couple in so long because i’m old but i find them so cute. this is euphoria though so i’m sure something awful is going to happen.

 

[LaBlonde]

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

yep the acting really elevates the material because ultimately there’s just so many storylines that get picked up and never continued or followed through.

and i know the adults in this show are meant to be useless but:

Spoiler

are we meant to believe that the school let lexi put that play on without a single faculty member looking at it? that locker room scene! also, what kind of budget does this place have for its school productions?!

 

[Pocahontas]

Love this show. It’s just so well directed and acted. In some ways, the characters come second to how it all looks / the general feeling of it.
Thought the opener of S2 E1 was incredible - and I did love a Fez-heavy storyline.
The casting for the younger versions of the characters is
