Euphoria (HBO) TV Show • Page 9

She found it in a book on Nate’s shelf.

 

Holy shit, there’s a Laura Less song

 

My takeaways from Season 2, Episode 2

-Was not expecting Fey to become a recurring character, but she's funny as fuck.
-Not loving how common "eyes-bugging-out" Cassie is this season.
-Nate is too damn melodramatic for a kid his age. "Never put that in writing again"lmaoooo
- Nate & Cal confrontation at the end of the episode sent shivers down my spine.
-Ali lampshading his relationship with Rue was super funny, and I'm glad Rue's mom likes him
-The show is kind of inconsistent with whether Rue & Jules are actually part of the Maddie/Cassie/Kat friend group, but I really liked seeing the Maddie & Jules dynamic.
-Elliot is literally how I imagine everybody on this site.
- The Kat "Love Yourself" Dream Sequence was absolutely amazing.
-Lexi canonically being a 100 Gecs fan was the best part of this episode.
- Really worried Maddie is gonna get fucking killed now.
-Return of the Mack.

 

no one on this site looks like dominic fike. anyone who looks like that isn’t posting on
a site this dumb

 

Lol this show is bad

 

i look 1.2% like him thank you

 

This is a CW show that’s on HBO so they can swear and shown nudity so people are like wow this is good!!

 

Lol a lot of scenes that were quite extreme in this episode but a great watch. I wish the scene with Nate and his dad went on longer, I hope we get more of that next week

Lol at Cassie just mindlessly running through the unfinished house when she was upset

 

Jules seems to have gotten close with those girls, but we haven’t really seen Rue interact with any of them yet.

 

Turns out the bowling alley from ep 2 is by my house and I went bowling there last month lol

 

She was sitting at at the table with all of them during prom in the S1 finale. I definitely agree that the "friend groups" haven't really been established well. It seems like none of the girls on the show really have a problem with each other which is refreshing for a show like this

 

Adding onto this, I like how Homophobia/Transphobia isn't really a part of the school's social dynamic. There is no scene or subplot where people "discover" Jules is trans, Rue comes to terms with being bi, etc. Everyone just kinda accepts it without making a big deal, which makes me, as a queer person, feel real good.

Admittedly, points get knocked off for the implication that Nate's abusive because he's gay and closeted, but Maddie's complete acceptance of Nate's queerness almost makes up for it.

 

There was a tweet that this show is "A24 Degrassi" but maybe it's actually A24 Big Mouth

 

Is Rue, the Narrator, the same as Rue, the person? Because I have no clue how she could know all this stuff about every other character in the show.

 

sophomore slumping hard

 

The Cassie bathroom scene was so good until we found it was all in her head, and then it pissed me off

 

My Takeaways from S2E3

-Elliot's character makes no sense. He makes borderline offensive jokes about Jules that are supposed to be smarmy and ironic, but are delivered with such deadpan sincerity I thought he was just being unironically transphobic at first.

-Also: how did Elliot go from "I'm not just swinging my dick around trying to get someone to fuck it." to openly flirting with Jules in the course of one episode?

-The truth-or-dare scenes were cute, and the interrogation scene was funny, so ultimately I like the Rue-Jules-Elliot dynamic

-Rue becoming a drug dealer is weird. Making blackmail part of her business model is even weirder.

-"Do you and your son, like... fuck people together?" was the best line of the episode.

-Cassie's outfit was actually cute, people are just mean.

-I'm really excited to see where Lexi's play goes.

-Cal's suicide dream made me lol

-How do people have sex while their parents are in the same house? That would give me so much anxiety.

-This show's reliance on penises for comic relief is getting exhausting tbh.

-Rue's fight with Ali really hurt to watch, especially with how cruel she became. Her addiction is destroying her.

 

I actually really like Elliott. Dominic Fike is a pretty solid actor

Favorite scene of the episode was definitely Cal at Fez's place though, the right balance of tense and funny. Not sure I like what they're doing with Rue but I'll see where it goes

 

??????

 

Another small pedantic gripe i had: Do school dress codes not exist in this show's universe? There is no way any public high school in America would let these kids wear most of these outfits.

 

i went to 4 different high schools and 2 of them would not have made a deal out of it either, one it'd be a slap on the wrist thing, and the other would have been a call the parents type deal

most public HS don't have dress codes. they're public, not private lol.

 

I think this is the thing the show is most mocked for: that everyone is dressed impractically or innapropriately for the scenarios they're in.

That being said, at my high school the dress code was pretty loosely enforced. The teachers didn't care at all, only the deans and principal, so it was fairly easy to get away with exposed midriff by just throwing on a jacket out in the halls.

 

What was her plan? I'm so confused

 

Basically she just wants an excuse to have unlimited access to a bunch of drugs, so that's why she convinced Laurie to give her the suitcase to push. However I have no idea who the friends she's planning to recruit are, or if they're even open to the idea, especially if they'd have to surrender their personal data to Rue to keep them from snitching.
