Even though the story lines revolve mostly around the lives of teenagers, people of all ages and generations will relate to the themes of the struggle to find one's identity, addictions, depression, anxiety, love and loss. My only caveat is that this subject matter may be triggering for those currently experiencing or struggling with these issues . But if you can navigate some very uncomfortable feelings, it is a series that people can actually find informative and inspirational.… Expand

There's numerous different characters in the showI really liked Euphoria and it is definitely a shining example in a genre (teen drama) that can sometimes feel super lacklustre. The main highlights are acting, cinematography and the music. There's numerous different characters in the show and they are all perfectly believable especially in a show where so much range is required.

It looks beautiful which I honestly think is many HBO shows biggest strength. The colours in this are fantastic and really hold true to the saying of every frame a painting.

Finally, Labrinth does a great job on the soundtrack of this show and it really adds to the emotion of many scenes.

The only weaknesses of the show is that sometimes it feels very melodramatic and over-the-top (seriously Nate is like a caricature of a villain, he reminds of the bullies from 13 reasons why and I hated that show for not being believable). Additionally, the season finale was a bit of a mess and overstuffed. However, overall it's a show that's really good viewing and I for sure will check out season 2.… Expand

Don't trust the pearl-clutching critics who were afraid of this show. It's amazing. If you like TV shows that smell like roses and make you feel bubbly inside, maybe look elsewhere. This is like Last Exit to Brooklyn with high schoolers. Buckle up.

HOWEVER, i would argue that it is a necessary evil in this show and it is redeemed by every other aspect. The character arcs, storyline, lighting, costume design, production design, cinematography, makeup are all some of the best work i’ve seen in a tv show ever. Euphoria grips you from the begininning and doesn’t disappoint as it continues in a stressfully wonderful and twisted plot, right up until the closing number ends. Highly recommend. It will open your eyes, for better or for worse.… Expand

I do love how the shows flow from every plot, revealing its character backstory one by one as it creates a backstory for each character and makes the emotional connection with each character. Despite its great plots, the execution, in the end, a bit weak as it end without any closure, for example, Fez, Cassie and Mckay relationship. Nonetheless, it is a great show recommended… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Based on the Israeli miniseries of the same name, Euphoria navigates the lives of a group of American high school teenagers and their experiences with mature topics. Showrunner Sam Levinson has created a series, unlike anything I've seen before. The cinematography is a big highlight, leaving viewers in awe with its vibrant angles and ways of making each scene so surreal.

The route Euphoria's story takes is smooth and detailed, leaving no one behind and making sure everyone is entertained. I must agree with the critics that the show's sexual content is quite abundant, though. These scenes do set up the narrative and each character's arc, but I just felt like it was too much. The story is still great despite all this, with Levinson's raw and impactful writing spectacularly acted out in a riveting 50-68 minutes each episode by the show's ensemble cast, which stars Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Colman Domingo & more.

Another highlight is Labrinth's dreamlike score, which contributes to what makes Euphoria a stellar viewing experience. Though repetitive throughout, each song is used in a way that makes them timeless and catchy every time you hear them. The musical number portrayed in the season finale, written and composed by Labrinth, was very unexpected, but it delivered with lots of strength paired with Zendaya's vocals and Levinson's direction.

The topics Euphoria deals with are explicitly shown front and center, but behind all that is a series that displayed its potential with vibrancy and a detailed story that shows us the side of life that not many of us have ever experienced.… Expand

A full story was told and I applaud it for that. The characters became more rounded and dynamic than you might expect in a teen drama. Regarding cinematography, the lighting specifically was so hyper real it almost de-immersed me at times, but in a good way? I'm a sucker for eye candy (Snyder films are a guilty pleasure) so this show won me over on that alone, but there's also some good character building and some real standout concept episodes here.

An absolutely beautiful portrayal of the backside of every medal given to the troubled youth of urban America. To me, the series rides a thin line between overly depressing and unauthentic, and it does so with style. A heartwrenching slam dunk.
