Very chaotic from beginning to end and its very fun!! This episode is one of the best of euphoria and showing the flashbacks was perfect.
The whole last 10 minutes were everything and just so so great and amazing.
The whole last 10 minutes were everything and just so so great and amazing.
Euphoria has always towed a line between being laughably unbelievable and painfully real. Uncomfortably familiar stories told through an excessively glittery filter. In this episode, Lexi's play acted as a self aware examination of Euphoria itself. A chance for the show to poke fun at itself, while also moving the plot forward in interesting ways. The writers of this episode used next level creativity to squeeze out even more unbelievably campy drama, without distracting from the serious tones that underly the series.
This episode has been emotional, funny, dramatic and overall a great watch. The acting is stellar as usual and the writing and direction is especially great from Levison who can be a little hit and miss at times but he nailed it with his ep. Easily one of if not the best of the series. And what's really good is that this genuinely has rewatchability because of the entertainment.
Sam Levinson really do his job for this episode, the writing is a masterpiece, the latency is very appropriate and the soundtrack is the best, Cinema Paradiso theme is a perfect fit!
Very specific writing that's insightful to those who can relate to Lexis ambition and function as a visionary. I didn't see this coming. Definitely one of my favorite episodes.
