There are a few scenes involving Kat and Ethan, who are completely wasted this year, while Fezco and Lexi have some nice scenes together but nowhere near enough. This is then dragged unnecessarily into the third season which is due to drop in 3 years’ time. All season long the show teases a big fight between the two girls but ultimately this whole storyline fizzles out without very much beyond a scuffle OFF-SCREEN. The other love triangle comes from Nate and Cassie, who end up sleeping with one another behind Maddy’s back. However, her story is muddied somewhat by A love triangle of sorts, this time with new boy Elliot who becomes a complication with Jules. Funnily enough, this produces some of the best material as Zendaya puts on another masterful performance as Rue. She does feature here, but not until later on in the season when she starts dabbling with pills. The central focus for much of this second season actually doesn’t come from Rue. Oh, and Rue ends up on drugs again…and then tries to get clean. There are several different storylines going on here, messily entangled around several love triangles and a fair few flashbacks centering on different characters and their past. I know there are probably a fair few people reading this review who are going to disagree with the final score (and how disparate that is to the episode scores) but given how much hype went into this season, the individual episodes are great but stepping back and looking at the bigger picture, season 2 is a definite step down. Look, Euphoria is an undeniable success and I actually really like the show. The first and last episode do work well to round out certain character arcs, but beyond that there’s no central focus and as such, the show doesn’t feel as driven this year. In season 2, Euphoria plays out as several disparate stories that are eventually glued together to form a bombastic finale. The first season centered on Rue and her drug addiction, and that worked as an anchor for the show as a whole. The trouble is, visuals account for nothing when the writing can’t match up. The cinematography and soundtrack in this show are unique and absolutely incredible once more, and it makes for one heck of a spectacle. If there’s one thing you can’t fault Euphoria over though, it’s the visuals. There are flickers of great dialogue, echoes of big moments and eventually segments that flitter out without much in the way of hard-hitting drama – at least not compared to what’s come before. While the show does deliver some glimmers of brilliance, glimmers is ultimately the word to best describe this season. Trying to match up to expectations was always going to be difficult for creator Sam Esmail and in many ways, season 2 is an example of how expectation can be your worst enemy. With an abundance of nudity and an unflinching look at drug addiction, Euphoria managed to weave several different characters and their stories around a larger cautionary tale, culminating in some unforgettable moments.
