TV Review: Euphoria Power Rankings and the Wedding We've All Been Waiting For

 Welcome all, to another round of Euphoria Power Rankings. For all the folks just joining, welcome to the mess. Last week's episode was wild, and I didn't think it could get much worse, but it did. It quite literally got much worse for everyone, even if they don't realize it just yet. 

However, this week's episode gave us drama. It gave us violence. It gave us fashion. It gave us conversations between characters we really thought that Sam Levinson forgot about. Euphoria is really taking an interesting route. It's juggling so much, yet everything does feel inner-connected. I don't feel like the story lines are as disjointed as they were in previous seasons. I am just hoping they don't drop the ball like they did last season and abandon the most important parts of the show (i.e., Rue's suitcase) until several years later.

TV Review: Euphoria Power Rankings and Is Euphoria a Neo-Noir?

 Some of you may remember this series of writing from my old Substack. If you're new here, welcome to mess that is: Euphoria Sunday Power Rankings. When Succession Sunday was a thing, Hunter Harris over at Hung Up penned a series of Succession Power Rankings. These are my weekly recaps of Euphoria with the added bonus of being pick apart all of the nonsense these young people are getting up to.

Overall, this season is off to a great start. I do, however, mean this in the most pejorative way. The girls are acting up a storm. Rue, Sydney Sweeney, Maddy, and even some of our newer characters are all scene stealers in a way that leaves me wanting more after the episode is over. I think the time jump works well for the show. I fear this is mostly because this should have been the setting the entire time. I will stand by the fact that I think Euphoria should have always been set in college.
