Finished watching
Euphoria. Finale was ok, not one of the stronger episodes. Could've wrapped up more.
I think the highs of this show are A++, lots of great touching character stuff.
The lows were like angsty teen drama.
Levinson's is a great scene dialogue writer & real good director with fantastic style & music choices. Rue's monologue's are fucking poetic. The actresses also range but a lot are excellent as are the guys.
Otoh, I don't think Levinson's a great plot writer/storyteller and falls on too many teen drama cliches. I read an interview after the finale and he says he doesn't outline because he gets bored so he just takes it as it goes, which can be good & bad. Good in that it makes the character interactions feel more memorable, but bad in that the narrative backbone isn't that strong.
Still, liked it a lot and I will be there day 1 for the specials and S2 whenever they can film it.
Also ain't gonna front, Sydney Sweeney is insanely attractive in this
