    Would have been so much better if they didn't have involved so much drugs, sex and vomiting    … Expand

    The new season of Euphoria is such a gem, representing its stunning visuals, pacing, narrative, twists and excellent performances.

    'Euphoria is usually more style than substance, but no one can deny that it's highly addictive. Season 2 opener is a banger, and the whole episode is an accumulation of tension that explodes during the final moments. I just wish the story goes into some new places this time.

    This is a Work of Art, Euphoria comes back stronger, darker and messier (even it looks impossible)

    This season is dog poop, yep I said dog poop. The acting is overrated like the worlds love affair with Zendaya, just end the show already, this is not HBO caliber material.

    Trilha impecável, expansão das histórias de personagens queridos porém secundários. O desenrolar do amadurecimento das relações está interessante.

    Euphoria remains one of the most creative shows, I've watched. I've heard and seen the criticism of this show based on its melodrama but like, I don't think it has ever claimed to be true to life in terms of actual plot.

    I adore so many things about the show, the acting, the lighting, scene framing, transitions... I could go on and on. It's absolutely clear to me that so much thought and expertise goes into this show. It's such an addictive watch; the melodrama makes the whole thing feel like watching an accident in slow-motion: you want to look away but you are so mesmerised you just can't. It actually feels like a traditional tragedy tbh, full of angst and heartbreak. Just a fantastic show and, just like after S1, I can't wait to see how it progresses from here.    … Expand

    The second season of Euphoria continues in the dazzling, mesmerising and colour-filled cinematography that the first season introduced us to; while packing acting that aims to show the cast at their dramatic best, this is especially seen in the protagonist, Rue (Zendaya), who indisputably gave an award winning performance. The sophomore season also switches up the plot and characterisation entirely, whilst raising secondary cast members (Fez) to the main cast, and giving some former main cast unbearably little screentime (Kat) or almost nothing (McKay).

    Euphoria suffers from having just one writer (Sam Levinson), as the plot he delivers dazzles with 'oh my God' moments that lead to nothing or are forgotten. The plot meanders with some parts being painstakingly drawled and others being skimmed through. As much as Lexi's play was pivotal and beautiful to watch, it was mostly a recap of things we'd previously seen, and didn't deserve two episodes; Cassie and Maddy's drama crescendoed and produced an end that was lacking.
    In all Euphoria season 2 was a jumbled story aided by stellar cinematography, acting and score.    … Expand

    Season 2 takes off just where S1 left, this season is more emotional and dramatic. There are more tense and worrying moments but the sense of engagement and curiosity has been controversially exchanged for a sense of peace and calmness.

    :The first few minutes of euphoria sophomore season explode with voices as we finally get a long awaited backstory to Fez. Most of the episode is framed in a familiar in-between where an apprehension reverberates through each scene and no one is in a good place.

Most of the episode is framed in a familiar in-between where an apprehension reverberates through each scene and no one is in a good place. Performances are unsurprisingly good ,even the newbies like Dominic Fike. This episode was worth waiting for despite it withholding until the end. If it continues to lean on it's excellent ability to explore it's characters precisely then we'll be in for a much bigger and better season well so i hoped. with each episode it became harder to watch without rolling my eyes at unnecessarily abundant slow motion turning around in a darkened room scenes. they have been rumors abound about discourse within the shows cast which given the inconsistency and abandoned storylines prove some disturbance. i have many qualms with how this show seems to value style over substance ,it lingers on some scenes longer than it should and when in dynamic shift aims for shock over poignancy. this isn't to say they don't deliver captivating award worthy episodes(see: standing still like a hummingbird ) but overall as a sum of it's parts this would sit closer to CW fodder(see: gossip girls) rather than the quality of it's first season that sat comfortably in hbo's acclaimed catalogue. what is disappointing is the fact that this show has amnesia..it can't stop forgetting whether it's characters entire personalities or overarching consequences. cassie charater despite having the second majority screen time still fails to be more(thank g.o.d for Sweeny brilliant nuanced performance) such as her previous abortion as well as Kat's development which needlessly regressed into a confusing ill fleshed/covered identity crisis that ends a relationship we barely got to experience in season 1. which brings me to my greatest frustration, the introduction of irrelevant characters who's actions could have been done by existing characters (eg.faye). the show is being strangled by it's own success so much show it's trying to be itself instead of just being itself. im still invested though cause it is a show with characters i care about outweighing the ones who deserve better development.… Expand

    Sigue en su tónica, clásico montaje muy artístico, utilizando mucha música y cámaras lentas. Incluso con el agregado de más momentos de tensión, muy bien medidos. La historia esta vez sí que no me interesó tanto, pero la ambientación, los planos, el estilismo, es realmente fantástico.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Режисура та саундтрек прям вау, дуже гарно і стильно, але сценарій... Наприклад, була неймовірна сцена сварки Ру зі своєю родиною та друзями, один з найкращих моментів взагалі у серіалі, але потім почалась якась тупа погоня від копів, яка нівелювала усю ту драму напочатку. Тому хочеться, щоб третій сезон виправив недоліки попередніх та остаточно не перетворив Ейфорію на підліткову шизу. (хоча куди вже більше, там в кінці буквально малий школяр зі спецназом воював, лол)… Expand

    Despite their endlessly harrowing moments, the first four episodes of the second season were the first time that “Euphoria” actually felt fun to me. Rue is once again a full-blown addict, and everything is horrible and scary, but also exciting and sexy and stylish.

    If you enjoyed season one of Euphoria, you will enjoy this. If you didn’t, you won’t. It continues in much the same vein, both exhibitionist and bombastic, but also introspective and tender. There is much in there that is surface level, designed to send your jaw hurtling to the ground, but this is entertainment, baby! A little bit of that never hurt anybody, and it takes care in other ways to ensure that it’s not an empty vessel.

    The series doubles down on staking its claim as the classiest and most artistic form of the lowbrow high school drama ever, but what lies beneath the debauchery is a powerful dramatic core, particularly in the story of Rue.
