“Euphoria” is built upon the cause-and-effect of family dysfunction, particularly drug abuse, and his story will always be the pinnacle of neglect, so it was hard letting him go. He was essentially born to die, and there was no other way for that kid to go out but hunkered down in a bathtub, with a military-grade arsenal in hand - death by cop, after dropping a snitch.

If he was killed off I may have ended up, hating the series so thanks Levinson for keeping his heart beating.īut a piece of me died along with Ashtray.
The Fezco storyline slayed, and no, not just because it was the most violent. Characters that had been sitting on the precipice of breakthroughs or the edge of breakdowns over the past seven episodes were pushed to conclusions. 23, we drop in on ‘Euphoria High,’ catch up with ‘Bel-Air’s’ Jabari Banks and prepare for the return of Hollywood’s ‘Real Husbands.’Īli: So true. “It’s the only thing I’ve ever done, and it’s a disaster.”Īnd I’ll give him this: Season 2 was never boring.Įntertainment & Arts ‘Euphoria’ memes are a sensation. It read to me as Levinson’s way of speaking directly to the audience, and perhaps to the press, about the criticisms the series has received for being over-the-top, unrealistic, a millennial man trying to speak in the voice of teenage girls. Like, what did you expect, folks? On that note, the lines that struck me most in Sunday’s episode may have been Lexi’s exchange with her (totally unruffled) stage manager after the play goes off the rails. We’re talking about a season written and directed by one man, filmed on celluloid, which opened with a dude getting shot during a sex act and took its episode titles not just from French surrealist poets, but abstract painters and obscene novelists.
I actually became frustrated tonight after the finale had ended seeing people on Twitter complaining that it didn’t meet their narrative expectations. But first I’m dying to know: What did you think?īrennan: I completely agree - “Euphoria” has become the kind of show I love for the immersive experience of watching it, rather than the plot arcs it attempts to pull off or the big themes it explores: adolescence, addiction, lust, love, neglectful to actively insidious parenting. We can get to my knee-jerk reaction - which is, as usual, somewhere between awe and exasperation - in a moment. If you need more, reader, Wikipedia is right there! But I’m too exhausted to do much more summary than that. In fact, this would normally be the paragraph to do a little plot summary - about the fallout from that little psychopath Ashtray stabbing the visitor and Fezco trying to clean up his mess about Cassie melting down over “Our Life” about Nate calling the authorities on his father out of revenge about what’s become of Rue and Jules and Elliot’s love triangle. It also means the episode is an almost nonsensical grab bag of multiple timelines and plot threads long in need of tying up. Matt Brennan: “Euphoria’s” Season 2 finale, “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name,” takes its title from the French writer André Breton, whose most well-known work may be the “Surrealist Manifesto.” It’s a fitting allusion for an episode that features, in its first 25 minutes alone, a knifing-slash-suffocation, a high-school play turned onstage riot, and an extended acoustic musical number - exactly the kind of pharmaceutical-grade chaos that has made “Euphoria” HBO’s latest Sunday-night darling.
