    The most special episode of the series.
    It's so personal and touching, I haven't seen the Jules special, but Rue's it's my favorite episode from the whole show. I think. So well made, so delicate but brutal at the same time. I just love it !

    I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty upset when Zendaya won best actress over Laura Linney, but after seeing this episode... I am so glad for her. What a fantastic actress, what a text, 1 hour of pure gold.

    Loved this special episode of euphoria which concentrated on Rue. I’m glad they did this spin off.

    While “Rue” did give Zendaya quite a bit to chew on, the episode also makes clear that Levinson’s writing isn’t strong enough to create an entire season of quiet, introspective character studies.

    This is one of the best hours of TV in 2020—an incredibly moving piece that hints at the limitless potential of "Euphoria"'s future.

    Zendaya and Domingo get all the credit for making it watchable. From Domingo’s voice built on crackling embers to Zendaya’s elastic jawline, the two thespians give and take with a natural grace. Without going too big or dialing it down too far, the duo entrenches themselves in the reality of the moment in a way that “Euphoria” rarely did so sparsely until now.
