Review of Euphoria

Euphoria (2019– )
6/10
The show is brilliant as long as it's not focusing on Rue.

The show was immensely popular, so I decided to give it a go. However after watching first 7 minutes of the very first episode, I gave up. It looked like a show about an addict going through her pitiful life. Haven't we seen this thousand times? An addict stealing money to buy drugs, and then crying for help, and then hurting friends and family again. I felt like I've watched the show already. But then I was told that the main story of Euphoria isn't really about her, Rue. It's more about the characters around Rue which made me watch the show again. It was indeed true. It was brilliant. Its style is amazing and the pace is a top notch. That's how the first season ended, wow. But then here comes season 2 bringing something I was worried about; focusing on Rue. 70% of season 2 is about Rue, a typical story about a drug addict. Who wants to see that unless you are a fan of Zendaya? Season 2 was a real bore fest. It's really pity that the production of the second season contradicted the promises the first season made.
