A great start, can't wait to see where it leaves off in the finale. I love that this Lexi focused episode showcases not just positive aspects of her, but also her toxic traits as a director. She's very well performed by Maude Apatow and feels like such a well rounded character. The presentation of this episode and the play is fantastic, and I loved the blend of surreal and emotional moments within the play and the real world. Terrified for what's going down with Fezco, dear god. A couple of great Rue moments as well, genuinely brilliant stuff. This was a great penultimate episode for season two, loved it!

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.

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.

Mainly focused on Lexi's play and some emotions in between. I have a feeling something was gonna happen to Fezco's friend that was hanging out at his apartment but it's uncertain. Very good for a 2nd to last of the season, cinematography is phenomenal some of the shots are wonderfully stylish with great lighting! Lexi's mom is delightful in this one compared to the last episode where she was not getting along Cassie where the brilliant line "She needs an exorcism" I loved seeing her cheering in this.

Masterpiece

Insanely creative way to learn about the characters of Lexi. The combination of theater and film was amazing. Everyone's performance insane Maud Apatow,Alexa Demie,Zendaya,Hunter Schafer,Barbie and everyone in the cast everyone is so good. Cinematography amazing as always. Clever storytelling and original storytelling. For me a masterpiece in tv.

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.

This show gets better every single episode. Everything this season has been masterfully produced, written, directed and performed. I would be genuinely surprised if season two goes home empty handed at the next Emmy awards. It's brilliant.

I'll start by saying I can totally see why someone would give this 10 stars but it just wasn't for me. It was an extremely creative medium to progress the story but I found it almost corny and it took me out of it. I also found the finale of the play to be very strange and borderline uncomfortable. Not for me.

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.

Lexi's play had been teased since the very start of the season and had been building up to be a massive event. Going into the episode, I had high expectations and boy did Sam Levinson knock it out the park again.

The episode is essentially a much much better and more nuanced version of the little Episode 3 fourth-wall break bit at the start. It cuts back and forth between actual happenings and dramatic realizations of them in Lexi's play to effortlessly contrast the story.

Some plotlines gets intricately woven in and the narrative as a whole progresses forward despite the play being the sole focus of this episode. Sam managed to balance some light-hearted humor with dark and serious moments perfectly. The cinematography and music were amazing as always.

No spoilers but all I will say is that ending on *that* musical number was one of the best things this show has done. From the buildup till the payoff, I was hooked. While I don't think this is the best episode we've had so far, it certainly was a satisfying penultimate. Can't wait for the finale!

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!

It's pretty apparent to me the lushness and grandeur of the play was only in Lexi's head and we got that fantasy so the harping on the play's budget is just short-sighted.

That being said the episode is tremendous with an epic build up culminating with the theme song from « Cannibal Holocaust » being played over the credits. Perfect set up for the finale.

So much REAL drama. I love it. It's a pity there's only 8 episodes this season. I wish there were at least 10 eps per season. Third season should come up this year on september. It shouldn't take that much since they give us this few episodes. I dont wanna wait another full year. Season 1 aired in 2019 and S2 in 2022... C mon.

I can't believe I only saw a compilation episode of the first season in a play format... Lots of reused scenes, repetitive, boring. I think there is no way to carry Euphoria at this point beyond its incredible audiovisual and artistic direction.

This episode was truly next level. The lighting, aesthetic, visual effects and the whole dynamic in storytelling and editing was just brilliant.

This was quite a unique episode and they really nailed it, I don't want to give anything away and I suggest you avoid any spoilers. I love how the show tends to create more artistic scenes, and the story expressed itself once again quite artistically and beautifully.
