Thank you for watching! :) - Krátké a kreslené filmy
♥️ thank u so much for 200k ♥️
Can't wait for you to make a video on my *The Goldinum* film also starring Zendaya as well as Peter Gustavson as her husband and fellow Milton Blackwell, me in an Arab accent (which makes him sound like another genie known as Taj) Jason Sudeikis (in his real voice or not) as a different species than a bird (a stylized metallic came, in fact), Shaun Lambon as a steeled stylized spider and et cetera et cetera in the 2020s!!
Karsten Runquist it’s what u deserve...
you deserve it you’re actually my fave youtube (and your twitter’s pretty fetch)
Karsten Runquist new subscriber Your vids are super funny and informative I’m glad I found this channel! Looking forward to watching your content!
Karsten Runquist your Dora video exploded, post more Nick Jr. content
After realising Rue wears her dads clothing throughout the show hits me differently
I thought she just wore her dad's jacket
it made me cry fr also how in the last song they all ignored her (except her dad)when she rly needed them
farah wahba no they didn’t ignore her it was kinda like a stop in time and she wasn’t visible to them it was more symbolism
Didn't even know about that, thanks to u
farah wahba it was her dad telling her that it’s not her time to die yet
Zendaya is playing an R-rated version of her character in Spiderman
my thoughts exactly 😂 both characters have a similar attitude
MJ is seems to be really different for me(
You should also check out the Righteuos Gemstones then. That Gideon kid is super bad himself. ha ha.
I suspected that seeing her squinting and looking hung over all the time on Spider-Man. Very disappointed by her lack of zest. She looked like she needed rehab.
I never saw this series but we used to watch her on Disney and she doesn’t look sober or happy or all there.
“what kind of high schooler has their lights like this” EVERY HIGH SCHOOLER IN AMERICA HAS THOSE DAMN LED LIGHTS LOL
not only America hahaha
@@coraliemalaika lol true, i live in brazil and i literallly have 22 different lights in my bedroom
Not in Italy, we don't use them
really doe
I don't
i’ve always liked zendaya but i also thought she was kind of overhyped as an actress. but after watching euphoria i take it back. she really is an amazing actress!!
AdriannaLauren she was over hyped before because she never played any complex characters until now. we never really saw her potential before and i’m glad that we see it now and can say all the unnecessary hype before is now valid
Lizz Vazquez
i agree, sometimes there’s some really great actors but it’s hard to tell because of bad dialogue and uninteresting characters.
She was overhyped because of her as a person and we never got to see her talent. I’m so happy that I can finally get on the Zendaya trains now that I know how talented she is.
I mean what do you expect she was on disney
I'm glad she got a more complex role. I was underwhelmed with her acting in the first Spiderman movie but this show really proved how great of an actress she is
As a high schooler I can confirm that a lot of us have colour changing led lights
That's the gamer gangs doing
Yep
ikr he said that and i was like- i can't name someone who doesn't have some form of that
Tiahna Jaedyn literally, I don’t have any but I’ve been trying to buy some for a long time
riight? i have a black light, red light, n icicle lights. all of my friends have lights too lmfaoo
I've read that the creators never really want the show to strictly follow realism, but more on emotional realism. Hence, the exaggerated events that's happening
where u read that boi?
@@artafazlya ❤❤❤
The emotionalism realism is spot on
That’s kinda how I thought of it lol like when you are in high school - it feels that over exaggerated when you live through those moments
As a high schooler who is in a suburban town, The emotional realism is pretty accurate.
when he said "and dear god, I really hope season 2 isn't awful"
........ I felt that
Same asf
Radwa M me too cause sometimes a show is really good and then season 2 just makes you go FUCK
And it’s a fantastic second series
I’m here from the future
Well
Jules and fez’s actors are also first time actors... so yeah just puttin that out there
It’s funny how Zendaya portrays two characters in such different depictions of high school.

Fuuuuck. Maybe that’s why I like him so much

I love the scene with Fez and Maddie at the carnival “Im lookin for molly” , “oh she over there workin at the pretzel stand”
i wish all carnivals had that kinda pretzel stand.
FR
I'm not american, I LOVE euphoria, and I've seen alot of teen dramas, one thing that i always ask myself is: DO ANY OF THESE PEOPLE EVER STUDY?
Zainab Mujahid lmao I don’t. The show is as realistic as it gets, just a tad exaggerated
Fuck Off the director said it was only meant to be emotional realistic in a way not real life
Zainab Mujahid I honestly don’t need to (also, yes I’m on the honors path)
lmao the half the characters in the show just dont want to do shit in the future, which is rly realistic
puroB well I mean I know some people do start having sex at a really young age and sound drugs at a really young age cause somebody I knew got pregnant in 8th grade and people got kicked out for doing drugs but even then some of those kids were on the honors or advanced path to
Jacob elordi is a hell of an actor. The scene in the last episode where he fights with Eric dane truly shows how good he is cause it felt so realistic
Adnan Alam yeah he got a rly bad concussion and was like puking blood after that one seen apparently.... mans dedicated
Jordan damn....i hope he’s ok
i can’t believe jacob elordi giving us THAT performance in euphoria and then go back to the kissing booth 2....a tragedy
Sometimes when actors attempt scenes like that it can kind of come across as disingenuous or you can see through their acting, but holy shit Jacobs promance was so incredible it actually made me scared, like I really felt his screams and pain and it definitely surved it's purpose to shock the viewers
@@jsmooooov that was just a rumor that didn't happen

Lmfaoooooo trueeee
Euphoria isn't much better than Riverdale tbh
But yeah, still better
Where can you watch it
Why is no one talking about the locker room scene??? I was not expecting full-on nudity
It’s HBO, they always show full on nudity.
Oh there was a lot of it, not just that scene. Rue literally gives a lecture on dick pics, what did you expect?
there showed dicks from episode one, lmao, they let you know real quick what this show's about
Well at the beginning of the episode it did say nudity was involved
I had to turn my tv screen away from the door just in case my parents got up in the middle of the night and see nudity 😂
if fez doesn’t get an entire episode for his childhood story in season 2, im suing
Or just an episode about him, really
facts
And Lexi
You got it!
It happened
The camera angles are to make you feel like you the viewer are on drugs. And boy does it do it’s job!
TheMonsterguy411 being on drugs and watching euphoria is on a commmmpplleeeettt other level
TheMonsterguy411 I TOTALLY AGREE!! The first four episodes I watched when I was on edibles and the other half I watched sober and honestly no difference to me 😅
@@nailatinsalhi.6716 It's kind of ironic though
I watched it for the first time at night stoned as fuck and lemme tell you. It’s the best way to watch it
Emmy Weimer same omg i binge watched the whole thing stoned
I thought euphoria would play out like some bad teen drama like riverdale but it reminds me of skins with these character focused episodes.
they aren't even character focused every single episode is always sooo much about rue and jules
Its the closet the USA has gotten to Skins... and I absolutely love it
Yames agreed
Fucking love skins and yes it’s similar but different in an amazing way
Yames USA tried so hard to do a USA version of SKINS, but failed miserably. This is the closest they’ve probably gotten without realizing it.
One of my favourite shows. I think it did what 13 Reasons Why tried and failed to do
konni I’m referring to talking about issues kids face without coming off corny
@@alwayscreatingio ikr, I loved 13rw but oh boy, this is so better than 13rw
TRUEE
I would say this is more akin to what the show "skins' wanted to do. Not that skins is a bad show though
Highschool series sometimes make me think "damn highschoolers life in US are crazy" because here in Asia mostly what we care about are grades, shit ton of homeworks, courses, projects, exams and less likely to think about and have romance and life drama
Don’t all kids are like this. But it can be. It just depends on the type of crowd you are around. Even the “smart kids” at our school will be involved in a life like this.
My high school life was pretty boring ngl😂
Youre delusional if you think high schools in the US are like this. They are only like this in very poor ghetto areas
@@ghuldorgrey lol im just saying these kind of movies make such stigma
@@ghuldorgrey holy shit that's super classist and racist. If anything, it's the rich spoiled kids who live like the characters of Euphoria
my boy fez is the best character ever.
Ed Sommar Intentionally scrolled to the comments for this
period
Fez is pretty awesome. He kinda reminds me of Darius from Donald Glover's Atlanta
Ed Sommar you mean mac miller?
yesss he’s so sweet
Euphoria does have a more accurate depiction of high school life than Dora after all
is dora meant to be a highschooler
@@ayaashraf-wr8ki In the movie, yes. In the cartoon, I really hope not
Stefan Pham it’s far from realistic lol
Skam is more realistic but euphoria makes it easier to relate to a character
Every single character that got backstory in this show I know at least one person at my high school that’s gone through it. Yes, including
SPOILERS
vvvvvvvvvvvv
Selling their body on pornhub and being catfished by the exact same person in your school (be it different reasons in the show)
The personalities at my school may differ but they’ve all gone through the same thing as the kids in this show has gone through, the only exception is someone’s dad secretly fucking children 😗
"what kinda high schooler has lights like these"... all the tik tok kids with led light strips 😂
The scene where Rue is yelling at Fez’s door deserves 9000 awards
that was cringe
im seventeen - eighteen in a week - and euphoria makes me feel like im about ten lmao
I'm 23 and I felt like 10 after it..
Happy Birthday in advance y'all 🎂🎈🎆

"sydney sweeney throughout the show" like yesss she's *so* good
she's incredible in everything she's in, it's crazy, she's going to have one hell of a career
Matheus Carvalho YES
yesss i love her sm
and sis is in everything rn
literally every show shes on turns out amazing
You forgot to talk about the incredible soundtrack. It’s so exciting and is perfect for Euphoria. It just feels right, gets you hyped like you’re in the show idrk it’s just really great
EXACTLY. i think its so unique and captures those emotions of the scenes and characters so well
Why do you want to feel like you’re in the nightmare this show depicts?
i love that no character is “perfect” they all have their flaws and do things that we don’t agree with, everyone can relate to at least one character
A whole case for Euphoria without mentioning Labrinth’s musical score for the series? The choir and marching band wall break? Damn missed opportunity.
Study of Gaming Honestly. The soundtrack and music for this show is one of the main reasons I love this show.
Yesss. I finished the season like two weeks ago and I still have the soundtrack on repeat. That finale number with the band, dancers, and visuals blew my freaking mind. Discovering Labrinth's score style is reviving my soul.
Study of Gaming the music is huge for this show and largely responsable for labrinth. he’s fucking amazing
The show just wouldn't be the same without his music💜
But don't worry, he took 2 moments out of the show to acclaim Nates' character 🤮
That scene when jules is in the club..if you know you know
Trippiest scene ever!!
That just got me sobbing for some reason skskk
I was soooo hecking confused
@@100kendel it really was
And the song (i'm not in love) just fits really well with Jules's personality. Incredible moment.
fun fact - that scene where zendaya is "climbing the walls" was literally shot in a mechanical rotating segment of a hallway lol
Nate’s dealings with the cops feels the most unrealistic....all the sex, drugs and technology feels pretty real.
i think it is, his privilege enabled him to get out of that situation
right
It's stated in so many episodes that his dad owns half the town, and he's a "good boy" who plays football and "keeps himself out of trouble" so I really think him getting off as light as he did was accurate
@@dirkeldritch4880 The more I think about it, you guys are probably right, and I just don't personally understand his level of privilege.
I grew up knowing the cops were my enemy, so I guess I can't understand Nates position at all.
Chris Diaz poor you
Why do people “hate” to say things are good? This is a consistent thought I have noticed in most review episodes. Shouldn’t people be happy that shows are good?
because peolpe like to feel special by not liking popular things and feeling like their taste is unique lol
RIGHT finally someone said it
also some guys don't like to admit female-centered shows are good
Jolee lmao truth
He didn’t say it was bad...? in fact he said it was good quite a few times?
people say the show is unrealistic but tbh, my friends and i had similar (although much tamer) experiences like the parties, the drama, the sex, the drugs, etc.
same. just without the cool lights
I think some of it is a tad unrealistic, Kat's story in particular. Most people who have only just lost their virginity don't just immediately become sex workers and sex godesses... but most of it is realistic, and the acting is good enough so that it's all believable
its realistic in the issues its address, but the way the characters cope with them are far, far from realistic.
@@JD-xm4uf How were their coping mechanisms unrealistic? Well except for Kat's lol
@@raquelpetus225 I don't think a teen will try to black mail an adult with a statutory rape charge, not do I believe a trans teen would be freely allowed to run around the city and be a prostitute. I'm not day ng these things are impossible and I was being hyperbolic but they are very very far from the norm and even the outlier.
“Give them an Emmy” zendaya has her Emmy!
The youngest to do so in that category.
And only the second black woman to do so in that category
@@annalouise3251 She’s not Black. She’s mixed.
@@witchplease9695 she’s still black
@@witchplease9695 her dad is black.
two years ago i got out of high school and i can actually say a lot of similar stuff happened in my city during those years. a lot of drug use, sex tapes and nudes being leaked, prostitution, dating older men, abusive relationships and the usual drama. so seeing all of this come to life, it obviously didn't look as exciting and intense in real life as it does in the show but i thought it was so realistic and i liked that they were really honest with it like yeah teenagers really have these thoughts and go through similar shit. that's why i love it so much
THE 90'S WAS WAY WILDER.
"but for once it feels really nice to have a story about high school and growing up that took it too far rather than shying away from what that experience really is.' PERIOD!!!!!!
A ton of high schoolers in my area have lights like that in their house. It’s mostly just amazon LED lights put up around their room or even house lol.
same haha
Same, i see so many kids from my school on snap with purple led lights around their room. I think I’d get slapped by my mom if I asked for lights like that. Just be normal dammit
Aryavir Sangwan you’d get slapped for asking for lights? Whew chile
Ally my parents are foreign, when it comes to bedrooms, in their mind, all I need is a bed, they don’t understand the needs for an increasing electricity bill because of “aesthetic”
Once tik tokers got them, every high school and middle school kid suddenly NEEDED them. Before it was just the white lights that like hang from stuff
5:59 that IS an impressive af shot
I had to replay it cuz I was just so flabbergasted they calmly did that
I think my favorite scene has to be when Rue was just screaming at Fez’s door, cursing him out and telling him to fix her because he ruined her life and you could really see that he wanted to open it but still didn’t because that was the only way he could actually help her. Breaks my heart every time man.
I honestly don’t know how they got such perfect cinematography. This is what happens when HBO meets A24. An absolute masterpiece.
Chill, it’s really not that genius.
lil Gal why you make something better?
A24 is known to make visually pleasing scenes with shows and movies that they work on
Fr tho Hbo shows are so distinct and immersive and combine that with a24 unique cinematography it’s really a Match made in heaven
I tried my hardest not to binge the whole season and wanted to spread it out, but I couldn't help myself. If you loved this than I highly recommend skins (uk version).
same
Skins is amazing generation 2 is my favourite
Kyrah Dames the first generation
If you love euphoria and skins I highly recommend SKAM. The original Norwegian version is the most realistic/innovative teen show ever. The Italian and Dutch remakes are also really good! You can find subtitled eps online. The Dutch version posts subtitled episodes on youtube.
@@simplyshama True!! i think visually the Dutch version comes closest to Euphoria (It has the best cinematography in my opinion)
Pretty accurate show in my opinion, including a bunch of key issues that happen in a teens life at least once. The show just exaggerates these issues maybe to show the worst and how bad they can actually get or effect.
1. Teenage pregnancy
2. Toxic relationships
3. Drug addiction/addictions
4. Body/image issues
5. Struggling with growing up
6. Sexuality/ LGBT+
7. Family problems/home issues
8. Bullying
9. Death
10. Social media
Kirsti Lou I think the pressure to loose your virginity is one that I think they portrayed very well (ex: Kat in the beginning)
Youd be surprised by the amount of teens that have led lights.
*You forgot "All for us" musical scene from **#Zendaya** tbh it was breath taking*
he talked about it tho
He says he didn’t like it lol
@@alexispowell858 i don't even know how that could be lol, my jaw was dropped for the entire song
The dance number part of it is...not for everyone. But the song was AMAZING and captured the feeling of the show so well in my opinion. I can't stop listening to it.
@@100kendel when?
Some mild spoilers ahead
Honestly? People keep saying how unrealistic this show seems but aside from the obvious stylistic choice, this is unfortunately how things felt at my highschool. An abusive jock shithead who eventually got arrested for beating his gorgeous cheerleader girlfriend. I was the big girl who found her confidence through too early sex work. I had friends with addictions (lost five growing up to over doses.. huge opiod crisis here) and friends of different sexual and gender identities. I grew up in a really bad neighbourhood and sometimes highschool really is hell.
While obviously my life was far from equally as dramatic, a lot of the awful elements feel almost nostalgic to me. This show does a great job of calling back to a crazy time in my life and also making it watchable and more dramatic and interesting. These characters, cinematography and colours and stories are wonderful. It is tackling with honesty and beauty.
God the scene where zendaya was breaking down outside the door? I was sobbing. I could hear my friend screaming the same things.
@@milkhoney6618 Same. Growing up surrounded by drugs, almost dying myself and still seeing my friends and fam struggle with various addictions, mental health problems, the fights with Rue's mom. All of it left me sobbingggg at the finale, I binged the series and it brought up a lot of stuff. I felt down for a while. I hope you're doing better.
@@whitneyhenry5755 I am so glad to survived that life and I am so proud of you for it. I am nearly 30 now and am faring better but now I carry narcan kits at all times. Opiod crisis is bad still. I had to revive someone last week.
Thanks for prefacing with the spoiler alert
Saved me a show.
this is too real.
where I live, this is pretty much what youth are experiencing or have experienced in high school.
and the increasing usage of drugs amongst youth is going up. more and more young people are born into a sense of hopelessness and mental health struggles are so tied to the escape through drugs that's become necessary for teens to survive into adulthood. the show also brings a lot of perspective around harm reduction, which I think is overlooked so often, and even criticized as encouraging drug usage.
I mean, 14 year olds where I live smoke weed, do shrooms, and ecstasy pretty regularly and this show makes it a point to remind viewers to care for each other when using, and how using affects your personal relationships and impacts your loved ones (and community by extension). 🌸
"Dear god, i really hope season 2 isn’t awful" -this didn’t age well😭
I watched the carnival episode while on acid and let me tell y’all...the cinematography was so much more pleasing and beautiful to look at! the colors and makeup seemed to pop out more it was really neat.
That's sounds scary
‘sydney sweeney in like... most of the show’ *THANK YOU*
I couldn’t agree more the cinematography and characters where amazing
please do a review luke!
honestly i can’t think of a person who doesn’t have christmas lights or led lights in their room
Great video! The criticism of the show being “unrealistic” always makes me laugh.... the title of the series is “Euphoria”. It’s supposed to feel like an unrealistically heightened version of what it really is, while still maintaining a very grounded emotional realism.
Euphoria actually develops and explores each layer of the characters instead of just forcing a tragic backstory it shows each ripple of decisions and actions Y. E. S.
There's been a billboard up recently for this show on my daily walk to school and I saw it and thought "This looks waaaaay too cliche and I'm not watching it."
Willing to have you change my mind
i have a name From the first 2 episodes I wasn’t sure but episode 3 onwards had me hooked and I now like this show as much as Black Mirror.
@@simoneoliver7379 Oh damnnnn really?
I was exactly like you, and I gave in and I just fell in love with it. Don't hesitate, just watch the first 2 episodes to get the idea of the show
The is made to be watched as a collective. If you only watch the first 10 minutes of a movie, it wouldnt make sense
I will say, the show is very over-the-top (but granted I’ve been out of high school for ten years now so what do I know), but like he said, it’s better that it’s that way rather than playing too safe and being inauthentic. I love the show and most of the characters. Like someone else said, it reminded me of Skins but not quite as insane haha.
i like how the characters lived in a low/middle class neighborhood, while characters like nate lived in a higher neighborhood.
the show does remind me of my highschool, but in a hyper way.
A lot of the party scenes, scenes in the cars, sleepovers, and especially the carnival reminded me a lot of high school and set the overall tone of how I felt. The visuals cause uneasy feelings at times, the same as high school. Same with the gloomy classroom shots. I feel that this was the first thing I’ve seen on TV that actually reminded me of a lot of specific moments of high school.
I personally love almost every aspect of euphoria, but its story telling reminds me a lot of UK skins. That show also focuses on highschool and involves drug use, addiction, loss, relationship drama etc. and it had a similar story telling format, where each episode we are introduced to a character. I feel like Euphoria owes a lot to skins, but Euphoria's execution is better on almost every level.
I don't think they're all that similar in terms of story telling. while they do have episodes centres around certain characters, both of the shows seem to be trying to portray different things with their cinematography and tone etc. Skins is meant to be more down to earth/gritty while euphoria is more wacky and artistically driven (take the scenes such as the one at the end of the finale, the harry styles/louis thing, the one where lexi and rue are detectives and when rue and jules talk about dick picks, etc)
i prefer skins for the way it's grounded, as I think that makes the story a more realistic representation of the teenage experience, but I appreciate the artistic, parody elements a lot in euphoria. if skins did that though it would ruin the entire dynamic of the show.
Euphoria is based on a Israeli drama so it owes a lot to both
This isn't relevant or important, but all I could think about when Zendaya started singing in the Euphoria season finale, was that one episode of Skins (the season one finale too, I believe) where the cast starts singing Wild World out of nowhere... that is to this day one of my favorite moments on a TV show ever, specially because it happens right after a very dramatic scene, and it brought me so much joy both times. Anyways, I'm so happy both shows exist.
Also can we talk about how during the 7th episode they utilized the cinematography to visualize Rue’s manic state? how brilliant is that???
Lol
I loved this show so much. I'm 36. My high school experiences were a mix of every character on the show. The "unrealistic" parts, as you pointed out, are the art around the story. My favorite thing about the show is the juxtaposition of extremely adult situations happening to children who still ride bikes as their main form of transportation. I am reminded of being 14 and riding my bike to my 19 year old neighbor's house to get plastered in his basement. The show is a painting, really. I love it. I'm also pregnant with a girl, and somehow seeing my own experiences portrayed on the screen in this way has me shook. But, I survived. And so will she.
Congratulations for your pregnancy
OMG HOWS THE BABY DOING
Is the baby doing well?💘
@@juliadebbesay9465 Yes ma'am!
The cinematography is SO GOOD and the colour palette(what you say is the lightning) too. And i love that you're more of a movies guy which ks better for analyzing these aspects. I am too
It’s super realistic to me. It depends what friend group you hang out in but I could find real life people, including myself, that the characters reminded me of. But it’s a show so of course it has to be glammed up with symbolism, but I related deeply with the friend group. For example, doing drugs, parities, weird relationships, promiscuity, abuse, etc. I felt like I was watching a specific chaotic part of my life. And this is what this show is about, chaos and finding euphoria in all of it. It reminded me of all those late night in Fort Lauderdale that I spent with many people, and the kind of crap I used to get myself into. I will relate to this show more than any teenage drama out there, and I really hate teenage dramas.
P.S. the lights are meant for color theory and symbolism, but the houses of my friend group and the people I hang out with, the parties I went to, they all had that weird dark color with the room being lit up with some purple or red strobe light. I just think it’s a stylistic choice. I like my room super dark, but with one stream of fairy lights across the wall for example.
i would love to hear u talk ab ur highschool experiences tbh
I have been out of school for a while, but I am so glad to hear that someone also had these types of experiences. My time in high school was also absolute chaos and captured quite well in Euphoria. Not from the Fort Lauderdale area, from more north FL, but yeah you're def not alone in your experiences!
Lou Angeles it was mostly out of high school. Age 18-21. My high school life was more depressing than exciting, although I guess I could talk about all the things I experienced in high school since I went to about six different once’s in different states. I think my high school life is the reason I kinda went crazy once I graduated lol
Faith Smith ayyy you’re from Florida! And I’m kinda happy that you can relate too :)
Fort Lauderdale rep.
please continue talking about this show, a video essay would truly be pretty epic to see cause i can‘t get enough of you talking about euphoria.
gosh i really love this show. it's almost been weeks since i finished watching it and it cannot get out of my head. now, when there's no s2 yet, I watch videos like these, you know, like reviews, or interviews or conferences, bloopers, technically everything aaaaaaaaahhhhh euphoria is a drug, literally and figuratively hhahaha
i just graduated highschool and turning 18 in about two months and this show made me feel like i didnt experience high school or 'teenagehood' to the fullest at all
Be grateful you missed out on the toxic bullshit. I get that the show sort of romanticised stuff but as someone who went through, or knows people who went through the same things, it's nothing to glorify. It was never living life to the fullest, it was hardly living it all.
be grateful. you are very lucky to have not experienced the peer pressured sex, the dangerous world of party drugs etc. at that age, you missed absolutely nothing.
@@Chloe-ul3vd I personally didn't feel much peer pressure and I definitely experienced parties and drinking/drugs and whatever but literally all the rest of my time was spent worrying about school lmao, every other week I got to party but the rest was just clouded by school instead of 'enjoying my teenagehood'
@@brookew4536 i’m glad my school years weren’t like that
Karsten are you alright? You cant agree with us... Is something wrong?
it would’ve definitely been more relatable if the show took place in the city. as someone who just graduated high school from Chicago, the drug usage at these schools are absolutely insane. it’s so insane that the students at the schools scattered around the city all know each other. why? bc of the parties and drugs. it’s sad. but this is what it is. euphoria did a great job depicting it, whether suburban or city setting!
I think the lack of realism adds to it, because the story is supposed to be told by rue, a teenager with a drug problem. Certain scenes are over the top and dramatic because it's through rue's perspective. I think the camera work also adds to this, given that she has anxiety and those shots convey how it feels to have it pretty well. I just think that it's supposed to be unrealistic and dramatic because that's just how being a teenager is, you never know what happens next, you're so inexperienced that every little thing feels like a big deal, you're going though hormone bingo and all of that skews your view of reality. The LEDs are spot on though, I'm not even American and 2/3 people I know have some sort of led light in their room, me included
I can 100% ly agree
Honestly, i just hope they take their time to write season 2 just so it can be equally amazing as the first season.
the relief when I read the title and got that sweet sweet rush of validation
I as a high schooler from a middle class Indian household can not relate to the show- probably cuz it's focused on American teens' lives. But the acting, the cinematography and the storyline was phenomenal! It is truly commendable. It is truly awesome!
As an american highschooler, this show is not realistic. Everyone who says it is terrifies me because people should not be like this irl
it's so beautiful to look around the screen and feel that each character is equally important as the next. this show is so special
a lot of people at my high school + myself were like a lot of these characters which is bittersweet
hell yes. this show is god damn incredible
honestly euphoria was exactly how high school was for me so i was differently invested in each of the characters. i love this show and that it is showing my experience without knowing me.
Hahahahah all my friends actually spend as much time as possible shirtless. I think a lot of guys are like this, especially very sporty ones
at first i assumed it was one of those stale shows that locals would hype up on twitter for about a week because the cast is hot but it’s actually a great depiction of many issues, basically an american skins
An American Skins that’s way better than the actual American Skins
He’s right about episode 4. I really can’t think of a scene that made me feel as much as the close of 4. That and the club from 7 are top notch tv
The club scene from episode 7 is my personal favorite scene. The insane lighting, the editing, the music, and of course the acting from Hunter Schaefer and Jacob Elordi is incredible! This scene and the confrontation between Nate and Cal in the finale are my two favorites.
“what kind of highschoolers have lights like this” “what kind of highschoolers all walk around shirtless like this” actually...... LOL the LED lights have been mad trendy lately everyone and their mom has a couple sets throughout the house 💀💀💀 also i know lots of guys who walk around shirtless at parties. its a scarily realistic show
as a high schooler i can tell you that i’ve been through and seen all of those things that are portrayed in the serie.
i’m coming from a tiny town in croatia-Zabok, but i’ve seen all the drugs and the violence and drinking and partying, even girl on girl crushes. i’ve experienced it all on my skin and i’ve seen it around me as well so while i was watching the show i actually had a lot of my own flashbacks which made me feel something unbelievable. love that show. also if you’re a high schooler and can’t relate to me i think you should try that kind of rebellious way of living at least for a short amount of time, it’s gonna shape you a bunch as a person and you’ll see all kind of fd up shit that is everywhere around you
Finnally someone giving this show all the love it deserves. Best show i have seen in a while. So good.
George Tenner wh-
George Tenner what tf is wrong with you!
cassies cold opening was so relatable and heart breaking😞
Yes!!! Those were exactly my thoughts on episode 4! Thank you so much for giving it the attention it deserves!!!
What a great video I hope the second season turns out just as good!
u best know i’m watching this 1 min after it’s posted
This show is actually pretty true to my high school experience so far.
same
Thank fuck I’m English
Simone Oliver EXSACTLY what I was thinking
@matisse i’m in australia and i cannot relate whatsoever
it’s a good show, hard to watch some scenes but it’s really awesome to see the show addressing mental health, insecurities, relationships, drugs, abuse and sex on such an intense level.
9:25 aged well 💀
I feel lowkey nauseous after watching your compilation of spinning shots, I didn't realize how much the camera actually whipped around until you put it all together.
Same dude, loved Episode 4. That's my favorite. Overall, amazing show, just as Leo DiCaprio said it is
Clarissa Cota Leonardo DiCaprio said what?!
@@EmyN Yeah when asked what show he had been checking out, he said Euphoria and thought it was amazing. I don't remember if someone from Variety or ET that asked him, but just search it and I'm sure you'll find the video
Clarissa Cota Omg so cool
Well from reading the comments I realized a lot of people were saying their schools were and are exactly the same as the show but like in Europe or at least in France I swear drugs are only at some parties or once between friends, the closest to a nude that was ever leaked was a picture of a girl in a bathing suit and if anyone would ever assault a girl like Nate Jacobs did he would be deported and spit on like wtf is going on in the US
Sacha Saliba I live in France and I agree with all the things you wrote
Idk why but I liked when he talked about purple
Euphoria definitely deserves much more attention
Euphoria is Mr Robot if it was a teen drama
how so?
I can see that
@@theminingmanic Both have a lonely, drug addiction main character. The choreography and tone/vibe are similar as well
Pretty much everything that happens in Euphoria happened in my high school.
Wow Great video those things that i was thinking u made it in here gj
Overall loved the show. Didn't think the finale progressed the plot enough, but looking forward to s2
Can you please PLEASE talk about Skins UK?
OMG I love that show
I live in the Netherlands and i can relate to this like almost everyone who is 14 years or older is not a virgin anymore. Its probaly different in other countrys but it is like that here.
Your description on how you started on the show is word for word how I got into it as well. Also, all the time I was like, "this show has a vibe that is like something I've seen before, maybe kinda 'Atlanta' but not quite exactly it". And you nailed it: it's totally "American Beauty"!
