Trapped.
manucmm16 July 2019
I'm really enjoying this show, it make us reflect about how we perceive love and sometimes we found ourselves trapped in a relationship we want to get out and we don't because we care about that person. we don't want to hurt that person and sometimes we just stay for habit. Well this is not the only thing this show is about but it's clearly the main plot of this episode. How attached we can feel to somebody that hurts us.

Mostly about Denise Carter (Maddy Demie)

I must say Kat Fernandez (Barbie Ferreira) is my favorite other than Zendaya, both are wonderful actresses! I was gonna review this when I saw it live, I have just been distracted by many things in my life, anyway though there's a guest in this one in a hotel scene and I thought that guy was awesome! I very much enjoyed this episode, love the soundtrack and it's interesting how Big Little Lies had something very similar to Euphoria's recent episode maybe it's intentional that there's abuse in both plus the courtroom/question room for suspects.

Warning: Spoilers
This show really does make some excellent use of music. This episode took a closer look at relationships and their inner workings. I wish they'd taken a closer look at Rue and Jules' relationship instead of Maddy and Nates'. This show is able to do some really good character writing, but my gripe is that characters like Maddy and Nate are seen so often. I'd include Cal in that too. They're unique enough in the sense that they're not 100% generic cardboard cutouts, but they still fit into predictable archetypes that can be seen in a lot of places. Rue and Jules are the opposite which is why I think they're the best aspect of the show. Same goes for Kat. I'm just not that interested in her sexual awakening/escapade. No matter how well shot, how well musically, and how unique this show is, characters are everything and this episode yet again showed that there are only a couple of characters who really fully capture my interest. Despite this, I'm grateful that the characters in this show, as proved by this episode, are complex and thoroughly written. I feel like this show would be a lot more enthralling if you can relate to them

Best episode of the season
CMTempest15 July 2019
Sam Levinson has really captured something great and meaningful with Euphoria: Unrepressed realism. It's this achievement that heightens all the true and relatable moments hidden within every scene.

I honestly was able to identify constant parallels from my own life in all the varying storylines and characters which were further developed in this episode. Maybe I didn't have many of these same experiences, but there are subtle nuances to each character's behavior, as well as a seriously commendable attention to detail, which are thoroughly manifest in the show's writing quality and general production level.

While watching this phenomenal episode, it suddenly dawned on me just how genuine and relatable these stories actually are. Rue falling in love so unreservedly and hopelessly because it's her first time, and Jules' merging uncertainty as to whether she might be making a mistake by letting Rue get so attached to her, were perhaps the most remarkable examples to me. That said, every one of the storylines this week had moments of real life captured expertly in the writing, acting, and camerawork, and don't even get me started on the soundtrack. It's far and away the best I've ever heard, and it's able to evoke so much emotion from each scene that it somehow pulls off a whole extra layer of poignancy.

The entire show is meticulously crafted, from the heartfelt narration by Zendaya, to the constantly riveting and unflinching approach to the subject matter, and the result is such a raw and grounded story that it's made me recognize how trite so many other shows are in their attempts at depicting the complex realities of true human connection, anxiety, love, heartache, and adolescent depression. Euphoria succeeds tremendously on that account. It's fresh, original, exciting, and it's changing television as a medium in my mind. I think it will become a huge hit, and I'm totally on board for wherever they take it. Can't wait for next Sunday!

Each episode gets better and better...

I just love how the story gives in-depth background details about each character - just completely hooked. Zendaya is nothing as I expected and she consistently gives a great performance and also the supporting characters are brilliant. Glad HBO renewed the season- I thought I would be left waiting a while for another great show to start after Chernobyl was finished.

Nice
funnycommentor1 March 2022
The plot of the fifth episode was nice. The highlight of that episode was Nate and Maddy. Overall, it was a very intense episode, sometimes it was kinda boring, but it's okay! Also, I have to admit that the outfits the characters are wearing, they're amazing! Also, the soundtrack is so good. Moreover, it's so helpful that, the characters backstory is explained in the start of each episode.
