❗(SPOILER WARNING)❗wtf is Euphoria this season?

Bruh and what sucks is, s1 Cassie would HATTEEE who Cassie turned into this season. Her character is just a nightmare. The whole Cass-zilla scene was just one big fetish fest for weirdos. The only character I even like anymore is Maddy (and Bishop has been a nice addition) but Rue—although Z’s acting is SO GOOD—pisses me off. Cassie is annoying. Nate is annoying and not even in the way he was in s1/2 where you loved to hate him because he was a good villain. Now he’s just some dude? And his running away from the people he owes money while coasting off of Cassie’s OF income?? Like who IS that?? Jules pmo too because why are you acting like everyone else is to blame for the way people treat you? Or the consequences of YOUR actions. Faye being in the incesty white supremacy gang is weird. The influencer stuff is weird. Everyone’s just so weird.

Thanks for the warning. Never started to watch it when it first aired, now I won't watch it at all. I always enjoy Zendaya and she has already racked up 2 Emmy awards and headlining credits in some of the highest-grossing movies of the decade. I especially enjoyed her in the films "The Greatest Showman" and the Spiderman series. Looking forward to seeing her in the release of the Odyssey when it releases later this year.

It's a shallow thought but it occurred to me watching earlier that never before had I found such a large group of striking looking people so grossly unattractive. The show just feels so cynical and rotten for no discernable payoff. For the first time in my life I've had the urge to skip scenes but I figure there's not much point in watching if I do that, lol. Although to be honest I was never huge on the show anyway. I mostly enjoyed watching Fez because he's damn near a twin of my brother personality wise.

Ya, this season is weird, and I've been kinda hate-watching, too. Cassie's whole storyline definitely feels exploitative, but that's kind of been her role on the show. Aside from being Lexi's sister and Maddy's friend, her storylines have kind of all revolved around sex and I feel like we're kinda desensitized to Sidney Sweeny being objectified as this character by now. I do like getting more of Ali. Spoiler alert: . . . . . . . . Does anyone aside from Cassie care that they killed Nate off? His character, along with his father, has been the worst. I'm so confused if they expect any of the audience to mourn his loss in the finale. Kinda weird to kill off a character the non-incel audience doesn't emotionally connect to. Usually, the death of a character is supposed to make us feel something. Is it supposed to be a "yay the villain's dead after all he's done" moment?

Sam Levinson engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation

I enjoyed the first two seasons so much, but sometime after s2 aired and before s3 started, I discovered that Euphoria is a remake of an Israeli show and immediately said I would never watch it again. As s3 was approaching, I had to give myself a little mental slap for the fomo I was trying to get lol. And so, when I started hearing how awful s3 is? Ngl, it gave me a little spitefully petty bit of glee 😂 And lordy, this season sounds even worse than I imagined! 🫪🤪 I hope you and Val are able to stomach thru your hate watching alright!!! 😜

I love Alamo because the actor played one of my favorite characters in another movie YEARS ago. That man is an amazing actor, he is difficult to not watch. Zendaya has been amazing and I really dig the Spaghetti Western of it all. I read an article where Sam thinks he's giving us what we want with characters getting what he thinks we feel they deserve, both good and bad. I think some people may be blowing smoke up his back end or something because no, bro. I hate the Cassie storyline. I don't recognize Jules. I'm am living for Maddy's wardrobe. I find myself looking for nail design inspo more than actually caring about certain parts... or I've actually skipped scenes because I just don't care and I want to get back to Rue and Alamo and Maddy.

Oh, it's a hot fucking mess -- and not in the brilliant way that I know "The Vampire Lestat" will be! Nate is unrecognizable. What the hell are they doing to Jules? Cassie -- i have no words. That storyline actually makes me uncomfortable. I agree on the acting and some of the new characters, but what a goddamn train wreck.

I watched season 1 on Taco's channel and I just cannot push myself through to watching the rest of it. There is so much about this show that could've been done right through a trauma-informed lens instead of this trauma po*n crap. Aging the characters up to college age would have made more sense to me. What I've heard about this latest season has made my decision to not continue easier.

you couldn’t pay me to watch that show bro 😭💀

What I loved the most about euphoria was the various backstories and how they showed the characters’ trauma affecting their life and relationships. On top of that with great cinematography and music that enhanced what the characters were feeling and going through (especially s1). It was so inventive !! Makeup and clothing trends were SO heavily influenced by this show’s original creativity. This season feels like all characters have been stripped of intention and like Levinson is lashing out all his kinks on the actresses. Pretty much all the female characters are now connected to sex work or in heavily sexual scenes every episode. And Rue and Maddy, who do not do sex work themselves, are actively recruiting and "taking care" of vulnerable girls. While the male characters get a career or power 💀. Like you said, this season feels like Levinson is trying to Tarantino his show with long fancy shots, western themes and constant slurs. Though instead of blood splattering everywhere it’s sex. Every. freaking. episode. Like yes Euphoria always had sex in it but it was meaningful. It served the characters’ stories. Whether it was Jules dealing with her identity as a trans woman or Nate’s fragile masculinity. Thankfully we get some good acting, but I’ve haven’t seen an episode yet that made me think I would’ve liked this show if it had been like this from the start. What a waste. Though I admit it’s soo ridiculous now that I go back for it every week just to see where the hell this could be going lmao 🤣

I'm with you on every single word! It's actually so sad what happened to this show because the show before so rues storyline, zendayas acting) and episodes like the 2nd special episode that was written by hunter schafer were sooo good and profound. Sam Levinson with his weird ass racist and sexist fantasies being the only writer this season really shows because what the heck is this?? Its actually quite disturbing 🥲

I love the acting. They all nailed it, acting wise. But yeah, I have laughed real hard quite a few times. I absolutely love watching a scene and immediately turning to my SO and saying "that's a meme". Most have been Sweeney scenes. Also that wedding scene with her water balloon tits jiggling about? Why was it slo-mo?? That was insanity. I did think the behind the scenes snake scene was cool. I love snakes immensely. Their nostrils are so pretty, I could stare at them all day. But the story lines are wack. I hope that all the actors playing nazis legit hate what they're portraying, that they have to have that symbol on their skin. I hope it goes against their everything, that they don't believe it in any way and are just playing a role. We adore Coleman Domingo. Bishop, I could totally see him being in Fargo (the show). I was surprised he hadn't been. Alamo, is scary as fuck. Zendaya is always killing it but Rue is nuts. She baffles me and while she was talking I was wondering what Ali was thinking. In my head, one of his thoughts was 'she needs some therapy'. But, yeah, this season has been insanity. Super weird. Levinson does kind of creep me out. You know when you see a person and just inherently know you do not like this person and never will? And not because of any bias but instinct, this person is seriously off. His name did that for me. Though that giant Sweeney scene was pretty cool, not because of her but just because of the set and effort they put into that. The actor for Nate killed it. Such good acting. It was really sad watching Dane, the actor for his dad. You can tell this was his very last job as an actor before he died. His voice and facial expressions. Just genuinely sad watching him in the midst of that illness. But yeah, crazy season. I miss the last season when Rue was running through the streets. That shit was crazy. I do think it's pretty fucked having Fez's character in the show when the actor is long dead. It would have been so easy to just kill him off. Say he got killed in the raid or he got got in prison but to have him be a running character through the show when the actor physically isn't here anymore is wild to me. I went down a ramble. Yap, not as good as the other seasons.

I watched the first ever episode of the show and even that turned me off it. Made me uncomfortable. I've seen a couple of videos about what's been goin on this series and it looks insane. The poor women on that set are basically being exploited.

someone check sam levinson’s laptop because… some scenes are weird as fuck! I only watch the first two episode then lost interest

oh my god YES. I loved season 1 and some parts of season 2, but i’m just sad that it could’ve stayed as life-changing and style-changing as it was if only it just stayed a one season show. like?? the vibes and makeup revolution did happen because of how striking s1 was. i got introduced to the concept of reaction videos through euphoria (ur internet mom ash’s reactions) and now i’m one step away from just watching it through reactions lol. i’m so tired of nazi symbols, tits, shit and asses being thrown into my face just WHYYYY it’s so disgusting, i feel like i’ve seen sydney’s ass more than my own at this point, what the hell is this?? i hate what’s been done to almost all women in the show, i can’t believe that’s how sam views women? whether you’re creative or smart or cool - you will end up in sex work apparently???? jules deserved so much better. i hear people say that sam is just jealous of how beautifully directed jules’ special episode was and LOL i wouldn’t be surprised. i learned about AA meeting from it, i embraced some of my issues because of s1, it used to be something so cool and beautiful and i’m just sad. i basically don’t root for anyone atp tbf, i would love some shit to go down to justify the horrors we’ve seen this season. bleh

I fast forwarded through a lot of the last episode. It's still a visually stunning show. But the character assassination is tough to watch.

just horrendous, any of the thought that went into Season 1 has evaporated into nothing

It's a cluster fuck. And that's me being nice. 😳 I want those 10 minutes back of my life of that whole Casszilla intro.

Hate watching is the only way through this season. I’ve only been able to with a content creator to keep me engaged. It lacks so much of the substance that made s1/s2 to good. I can’t wait for it to be over and never return.

It's not even a show about Rue's journey anymore. It just turned into bizarre torture-porn, and I do not care about anyone's story anymore. I used to genuinely enjoy every character in the show (in different ways), but now it's more about which characters are tolerable. I also don't love how they handled Fez with the one-sided phone conversations.

I don't watch it but I've heard so many people that love the show actually hate this season for all the reasons you're saying.

Respectfully, I’m not watching that sh*t. It looks so bad .
