I haven't seen a single episode of this show but it just looks like it is desperate for scandal and attention.

I feel like if I was a teen watching, I'd find it ~deep~ and ~real~

but this was very drawn out and I'm 30 soooo

[judgmental]

that's what euphoria is for tbh

edgy~ and deep~ with THE aesthethic!

I'm just finishing the season now and ive been texting my friend while watching and am like... I think Im officially old. These kids are pieces of shit and they're wondering why there is heightened security? they should be thankful. I'm supposed to root for these rapey-mass shooting-murdery class?

[waxandstrings]

i kinda viewed it as them killing off all the rapists and rapist enabling characters by the end. bryce, monty and finally justin. the way they did it was definitely shitty and nonsensical though. i know justin went through a lot and had a whole redemption arc and jessica forgave him and everything, but i never could quite look past what he allowed bryce to do to jessica, so.

idk if this character is gay or bi like brandon flynn is irl but it's definitely a problem to have their arc end in becoming homeless, addicted to drugs, and contracting aids as though that's not a late 80s/early 90s scare tactic

[izzzzy23]

i only watched s1 and s2 but as far as i remember the character is straight

[djbbgoose]

still a choice to give that storyline to an openly gay actor imo

[djbbgoose]

why does this sound like the dumbest show on earth lmao like is ryan murphy involved? what kind of mess every time

[catelyn_tully]

Ryan Murphy shows are at least fun garbage mainly tho

[dnttllhrry]

Once again, this show is being irresponsible and tone deaf. I’m honestly surprised it lasted this long.

[tucker]

I’m surprised it got a fourth season because nobody was checking for it by season 3

[lawofcosines]

it's Netflix's huge hit and the reason why they are greenlighting rejected Freeform shows

[therearewords]

Why is anyone still watching it though?

[saemcrh]

So they can complain about it online/hate watch (though I’m sure, sadly, some people actually like it).
