Dump saw someone make a stupid joke about waiting till 2024 on Twitter and is running with it. I'd be surprised if it's not out this fall/winter. I would bet season 3 will be it too.
Acoustic guitar scene was cringe af. Nate's gun was such a shameless red herring. I mean, seriously we had two different police stings set up? One of which involved no attempt at getting a confession? Shit doesn't even make sense. Bad episode.
I know ash is impulsive but him sniffing out that dude being a narc and their roommate being a part of it then stabbing him anyways was over the top if they take fez away too might as well just end the show
that’s what pissed me off the most. She played it perfect and then he had to be impulsive as fuck and end up fucking everything up.
That was the first time I haven’t really liked an episode of this show. The play became too long, her going on stage, and then the fight, and then the song going on too long was just too much one right after the other. The shootout was also over the top. The gun fake out was amateur. And they never touched on the Laurie needing her money back stuff. I love the show but that was rough.
I honestly think that finale was pretty weak I also didn’t like last weeks episode which seems to be unpopular so idk would be happy with no more scenes of rues dads funeral
The Ash stuff was over the top and the gun/red herring was kinda bad too, but overall I liked the episode and season as a whole. The Zendaya/Apatow scene was phenomenal.
I was fine with the play in the last episode but taking over this one too was too much. The sequencing of Rue calling Lexi after the play and then comes over and talks to her yet being in the play was really weird. It just feels like there should still be another ep or two in the season. It didn’t feel like a season ending ep.
I didn't have a problem with it, that's who Fez/Ash are, they're all each other basically has in life and are willing to die to protect the other. Once he knew this dipshit was out to fuck over Fez, he became irrational.
I do think it's funny that they probably realized sometime between season 1 and 2 that Maude is absolutely outstanding and should be getting way more involved in the story.
When Rue and Lexi were talking there was a time when I wasn't sure if they were talking about what happened with their dads or what happened with Fez. Got a little confused by the timing of it all in relation to the night of the play.
I didn’t like that Ash killed him, but could understand it for that reason. But having Ash do that for that reason and then to have him not listen to Fez at all and shoot out into the house and shoot Fez felt like something Ash would never do.
I could see that reality slapping Rue in the face to start S3 since S2 ended on a positive note for her.
the middle episodes of this season were good but that finale was mostly bad. The Lexi-Rue bonding being the exception
Spoilered for length, but I thought this excerpt from a Vulture piece on the way things played out for Fez was pretty spot on. Spoiler Then the shootout happens. The whacking impact of the rounds from Ash’s automatic rifle, Fezco’s insistent shouts to both Ash to give himself up and to the cops to stop firing at a child, and the red laser lights from the SWAT team’s guns cut through the haze of gunpowder smoke and destroyed drywall. This is Euphoria trying to be real life after playing with performative memory in Lexi’s Our Life play, but the series’s internal logic is so inconsistent that this scene doesn’t quite land outside of Cloud and Javon “Wanna” Walton’s committed performances. Was Custer on some kind of live call with the cops or just recording what he hoped would turn into Fezco’s confession? This is the same police force whose members gave up chasing Rue just a few weeks ago? The same cops who, if they were investigating Mouse’s murder, should have known he was connected to other Big Bad Laurie, as Faye was trying to say while protecting Fez and turning on Custer? Was the SWAT team’s onslaught of violence against Ash (who is a child and from whom the police have no physical evidence) compared with the politeness with which the police arrest the wealthy Cal (whom they have on video committing myriad sex crimes) a purposeful point about classist discrepancies in law and order? Maybe? More so, though, it felt like Euphoria choosing to sacrifice Fezco, who embodies so many of the series’s central questions about humanity, for the sake of a big, tonally out-of-place action showpiece. Selfishly, this is irritating given that catfisher and abuser Nate gets a redemption arc by turning in Cal, and Laurie and her locked door remain unscathed. But structurally, it’s bizarre that after spending so much time this season setting up the Lexi and Fezco flirtation, and after presenting Rue as making amends with people she has wronged, Euphoria doesn’t have either of them mention what happened to Fezco. That arrest would certainly have made news. Wouldn’t Lexi, Rue, or, hell, even Nate — Fezco’s long-running nemesis — have a reaction worth sharing with us? Perhaps Euphoria’s third season, ordered by HBO earlier this month, will mimic the second season in again starting off with a Fezco-inspired sequence. But that last shot of his shoe stepping on his bloodied note to Lexi as police haul him out of his home felt like a too-pat embodiment of “Art should be dangerous,” the line Levinson gave Our Life stage manager Bobbi. In seemingly shuffling off the stage one of its most compelling and complicated characters, Euphoria didn’t need to be so literal.
Yep that nails it. Outside of the over-the-topness of it all, this is what bothered me "But structurally, it’s bizarre that after spending so much time this season setting up the Lexi and Fezco flirtation, and after presenting Rue as making amends with people she has wronged, Euphoria doesn’t have either of them mention what happened to Fezco." I kept waiting for their reactions. Hoping that is the beginning of S3.
I thought the finale was pretty weak compared to the rest of the season. Its tough to see where the show goes from here without completely jumping the shark. I would have liked to have seen an ending with Rue having to face consequences for her actions versus seemingly being fine
The song itself was fine but that scene dragged more than I can remember any scene ever dragging. Should have been a chorus and then a montage. The Ash stuff was just incredibly disappointing. It was probably set up by the rest of the season and it probably wasn’t totally out of character for Ash, but it wasn’t satisfying, even as a narrative end. But the play was the thing that sent me over the edge. I could just never get over the fact that - putting aside the ridiculous production value of a student-written school play - the play itself was a horrible idea. The play didn’t really have a plot. It openly mocked Cassie and Nate and in some cases mocked and in other cases exploited the other characters. I just never bought the idea that not a single person involved in the play said “Lexi, I’m not doing this and you shouldn’t either.” The play worked in a couple places, like with Rue, but I’m presuming Lexi never even asked Rue if it was cool for her vulnerabilities to be openly aired in front of the whole school. Just annoyed, the play broke the whole season for me.
it jumped the shark a few episodes ago. it's a wildly entertaining, high-production value, daytime soap opera. I won't stop watching but you have to take this show for what it is. For a show that tries to be real at times, very little about it is realistic. I'm just going to try to enjoy the ride.
prediction: fez survives, faye testifies that ash killed both mouse and the snitch, he gets off relatively lightly.
