The lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur as Kat contemplates ending her relationship and Jules, craving Rue's affection, ponders hers. Rue pursues a new dangerous business venture as she sinks deep into her addiction, largely caused by her guilt-ridden new friend Eliott. Cassie struggles with her celibacy and starts to drift, while Lexi pours herself into mounting a school play. Nate is in full redemption, trying to redeem the mistakes of his father.
It takes a few episodes to get going but it gets REALLY good. The fourth episode builds so much tension that I had to stop watching it to ask people what was going to happen because I got so worried. There are a lot of relatable and likeable characters. Nate's dad is actually really sweet, just very damaged; and Jules is a beautiful ray of goodness. My biggest criticism is that the editing could be snappier--I did a lot of skipping over inconsequential bits. Overall, Euphoria captures the travails of youth really well, without being condescending or pandering.
