Fucking hate Euphoria but a pleasant surprise to see another celebrity taking a stand
Does it suck? It seems vaguely interesting and has hot people in it
It's defo interesting, some great acting and aesthetics, just often poorly/chaotically written, tries to be too many things at once, and you have a bunch 26 year olds playing 17 year olds having cocaine and hardcore sex which a lot of people find weird. It's good slop though, I had fun watching. When it's not being teen drama slop the addiction stuff and Zendaya's acting is pretty captivating. s1 was better. Audience is mostly very young
I just saw people saying the Hunter Schafer episode was really nuanced trans rep, which intrigued me. Doesn't sound like my thing. Seems like a 13 Reasons Why style show.
You can prolly watch that special without seeing the rest of the show? Maybe watch some Jules Euphoria clips on youtube for context, but it's a therapy session so I think she explains a good amount of lore if I remember correctly
It’s just grown ass adults playing high schoolers, and all they do is fuck, do drugs, abuse and assault and kill each other, and be depressed.
Now I don’t think the premise is inherently bad, but I just hate how that’s ALL they do. Like every person is a horrid piece of shit, except for Lexi and Ethan. It seems like their lives are a never ending stream of drama that I don’t see why they didn’t just bump the setting to college where some of the actions are more fitting (e.g. in college they don’t give a fuck if you fail classes and you can hang around on campus and no one will kick you out. But somehow they’re doing a bunch of heroin and coke and other hard drugs and they seem perfectly fine in high school and no one bats an eye or questions their grades or kicks them out of school. You can also fuck and party endlessly without caring about responsibilities unlike high school). Like I think most of them are canonically in sophomore or junior year of high school lol.
it'd be better than what they're doing now but pretty much all unis will put you on probation if you get below a certain GPA for a semester (usually a C or D average), and then expel you if you don't get above that the next semester (unlike public HS, which will make you do counseling but usually can't expel you for failing, you just wont grad)
plus half of the characters wouldn't even go to or get into college. maybe Rue lives with her mom doing nothing but often crashes at Jules'/Lexi's dorm?
maybe they could cast them for their actual ages and play friends/acquaintances/roommates in their mid 20s. i guess there's less structure in that tho
