Euphoria, season 3 review: This has descended into one man’s creepy, sex-obsessed fantasy ★★☆☆☆

It was a chore even to hate-watch. Like how can I make fun of it if they keep doing my job for me?

I can’t even listen to the weeknds music anymore after watching it lmfao

I couldn’t finish it it was bad

She actually filmed almost the whole thing before it was scrapped.

*She* To *He* Seems about right. There were things I absolutely loved about Euphoria, the subjects they explored etc, but it was also so male gazey it was odd to watch. I won't be bothering to see how the story ends. If the torygraph thinks it's too misogynistic then WOW

Yeah I heard the original showrunner wanted to go for more of a bumble gum pop vibe. I also heard The Weekend had tons of ideas, and it sort of darkened the whole vibe.

I mourn what could have been, the rumors about that show sound so good.

Oh no! I had no idea!

The weeknd was so creepy that it permeated the whole show for me and made it feel so grubby and greasy

Yep. They had good actors in the show. Davine literally won an Oscar. The Weekend just didn't have acting chops to carry the show as the main character. For the few moments of good TV, it's diminished by the garbage ending.

I think Spring Breakers did it MUCH better than Euphoria, but it’s more of an art film anyway. It’s one of my favorites though.

>but didn't have the writing or directing to pull it off. Sorry but Spring Breakers is a banger. Franco singing Britney Spears alone made it worth watching.

That's a rude way to refer to Sydney's considerable "assets".

This is an insanely obscure reference to make as a person from Camden who ended up moving to Pennsauken, this shit happens a lot lol.

Kid rock saying he grew up in Detroit when he's an upper middle class kid from the suburbs

Lived for awhile in Marlton, NJ. I understand this reference

For a UK version, it's being from kent but pretending you're from roughest east end London 

Machine Gun Kelly claiming he grew up in Cleveland when it was Shaker Heights.

So, they do want to be there?

It doesn't not unhelp that not a single one of the actors ain't seemingly acting like they don't wanna not be there.

Are you sure you said that right?

Well that’s good at least 

I'm always never not nice.

Well, from the sound of it, it’s a real dumpster fire … but I imagine the moneys too good to walk away.

I work in schools, and was just so put off by the depiction of sex/nudity for minors. I ain’t here to see naked children, even if they’re being portrayed by adults.

When season 1 came out it was praised for the portrayal of *this* (at the time) generation’s more modern teen struggles in a post-social media era. It was telling stories that *some* modern teens could relate to (plus a ton of sex and drugs). Then season 2 came out and it just felt gross. Like… everything was dialed to 11 and had no purpose other than shock value. It devolved into borderline fetishism and softcore p***.

It kinda was, but the show was incredibly popular with terminally online teenagers/ college students who all refused to hear any criticism about it. That affected most of the discourse surrounding the show and people gave it a lot more credit than it deserved. The cinematography, music, and Zendeya’s arc are legitimately good, but the rest of the stories in the show are just Levinson’s weird sexual fantasies involving teenagers. If it wasn’t for Zendeya that show would not have gotten a second season and I think even the most die hard fans will admit that.

It had a criticism from the start. It was never super popular with critics but season 1 at least felt narratively cohesive. These troubled kids dealing with issues that seem far bigger than they are emotionally or mentally mature enough to handle. But even from the start it painted this excessive world where every high school has multiple sex scandals, every girl is on O*******, every guy is rapist, and every school is on brink of drug wars breaking out in the hallways. It was cartoonishly over the top. But it looked cool.

I actually just watched it for the first time a couple months ago. It felt like 90210 with more mature themes and a higher budget. There are fun moments squeezed between extreme melodrama and needless changes in narrative device. Needle drops to the point of being annoying and moments of tension drawn out for so long they become annoying. By the end of season two I was sick of rue and didn't care to continue her story.

I just binged it this weekend for the first time, and it's not particularly great all around. It has its moments tho. I can see how it would be an experience if you were watching week to week in real time and talking about it with people or online.

I tried watching Euphoria a few times and didn’t really get the whole “brilliance” of it. I know it was a massive success but it’s just one of those things I never quite understood.

Oooh so it's just US-skins? I've not seen Euphoria but did see the original series of Skins when it came out.

Eh, I think it actually tracks pretty high with middle aged women.

No, this shit happens. It’s just in this show, everything wrong happens all the time. It’s just a series of shit. Time for domestic violence. Time to beat someone half to death. Time for statutory r*** of a trans teen. Time to get groped by a drug cartel. It’s not like the shit doesn’t happen, but this is an unrelenting sadistic fantasy.

My teenaged and college years weren’t vanilla and the whole first season felt scummy, which is where I clocked out. Not sure why people loved this show so much.

I didn't even get past the first few episodes. it was just extreme shock value stuff and exploitative of the teenagers. It was so painfully ironic and gross.

This definitely wasn’t my high school experience either… thank goodness.

I barely started season 1

i mean it had a huge gen z audience so i don't know how true that is

The difference is Kids was realistic and grounded. It made a lot of people uncomfortable sure, but that’s how a lot of kids really grew up including me. This show is absolute nonsense.

Thanks for the patronising response, but I watch it with my wife. When two people are in a relationship they do things with each other that they both don't necessarily want to do.
