Creator Sam Levinson always pushes further than most, shoving the desperation and disillusionment of a young and apparently mostly hopeless generation right in front of the camera. It’s strong stuff. It’s meant to be. “Euphoria” is its own kind of twisted high.
Blazing with creativity and screen-popping visuals, “Euphoria” is a crackling live wire of a series with frightening and chilling insights into the world of far too many teenagers — and their parents — whose lives are in danger of being swallowed up by addiction-fueled actions.

Euphoria remains one of the most creative shows, I've watched. I've heard and seen the criticism of this show based on its melodrama but like, I don't think it has ever claimed to be true to life in terms of actual plot. To me, that's like criticising a sci-fi film cause its not actually possible to travel to Mars. The plot of Euphoria is so dramatic so as to elevate the themes, and this is does a damn good job at.
I adore so many things about the show, the acting, the lighting, scene framing, transitions... I could go on and on. It's absolutely clear to me that so much thought and expertise goes into this show. It's such an addictive watch; the melodrama makes the whole thing feel like watching an accident in slow-motion: you want to look away but you are so mesmerised you just can't. It actually feels like a traditional tragedy tbh, full of angst and heartbreak. Just a fantastic show and, just like after S1, I can't wait to see how it progresses from here.

SEASON 2
If you enjoyed season one of Euphoria, you will enjoy this. If you didn’t, you won’t. It continues in much the same vein, both exhibitionist and bombastic, but also introspective and tender. There is much in there that is surface level, designed to send your jaw hurtling to the ground, but this is entertainment, baby! A little bit of that never hurt anybody, and it takes care in other ways to ensure that it’s not an empty vessel.
The series doubles down on staking its claim as the classiest and most artistic form of the lowbrow high school drama ever, but what lies beneath the debauchery is a powerful dramatic core, particularly in the story of Rue.
Euphoria Season 2 is good, but not quite great. ... Without seeing the final pieces of the overall puzzle, it’s impossible to say if Euphoria Season 2 manages to succeed as a whole. What we have seen is as masterful as it is messy. Euphoria remains an imperfect gem that works best as a showcase for the next generation of towering acting talents.
Season 2 suffers as much from trying to top itself through repetition as it does from downplaying aspects that were working (which, for a freshman hit, are common Season 2 issues).
Euphoria has returned as a more superficial version of itself – which is appropriate, I suppose, for some of its more screen-obsessed protagonists. But beneath its cold Bret Easton Ellis styling, there is emotional depth. If only it could find it again.
:The first few minutes of euphoria sophomore season explode with voices as we finally get a long awaited backstory to Fez. Most of the episode is framed in a familiar in-between where an apprehension reverberates through each scene and no one is in a good place. Performances are unsurprisingly good ,even the newbies like Dominic Fike. This episode was worth waiting for despite it withholding until the end. If it continues to lean on it's excellent ability to explore it's characters precisely then we'll be in for a much bigger and better season well so i hoped. with each episode it became harder to watch without rolling my eyes at unnecessarily abundant slow motion turning around in a darkened room scenes. they have been rumors abound about discourse within the shows cast which given the inconsistency and abandoned storylines prove some disturbance. i have many qualms with how this show seems to value style over substance ,it lingers on some scenes longer than it should and when in dynamic shift aims for shock over poignancy. this isn't to say they don't deliver captivating award worthy episodes(see: standing still like a hummingbird ) but overall as a sum of it's parts this would sit closer to CW fodder(see: gossip girls) rather than the quality of it's first season that sat comfortably in hbo's acclaimed catalogue. what is disappointing is the fact that this show has **** can't stop forgetting whether it's characters entire personalities or overarching consequences. cassie charater despite having the second majority screen time still fails to be more(thank g.o.d for Sweeny brilliant nuanced performance) such as her previous abortion as well as Kat's development which needlessly regressed into a confusing ill fleshed/covered identity crisis that ends a relationship we barely got to experience in season 1. which brings me to my greatest frustration, the introduction of irrelevant characters who's actions could have been done by existing characters (eg.faye). the show is being strangled by it's own success so much show it's trying to be itself instead of just being itself. im still invested though cause it is a show with characters i care about outweighing the ones who deserve better development.

SEASON 2
A huge downgrade from season 1. What happened? I'm very confused. Hoping for a better season 2.

After an amazing first season, this return to Euphoria felt misguided and messy.

SEASON 2
This season is dog poop, yep I said dog poop. The acting is overrated like the worlds love affair with Zendaya, just end the show already, this is not HBO caliber material.
