![]() ![]() Plus, the love interests of the thin friends (Cassie, Maddie, Jules) never cross over in terms of using Kat to get to them. They never imply she should lose weight, never put her down for her size. But my favourite, without a doubt, is Kat Hernandez.įor a start, her friends never mention it not once. And each character is so richly painted they could well carry their own series. Zendaya is outstanding this is a breakout performance from her, not that she needed one. There are weird and wonderful dream sequences, and the use of kaleidoscopic neon lights and the Inception -like tilting of a hallway has the viewer feeling just as high as the kids. Levinson directed the majority of the episodes and his vision for this story is told in long sweeping shots, zooming in from what feels like miles away to an intense close-up on each characters’ face. Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Maddie (Alexa Demie) are the hot girls they see themselves mostly as objects for sexual violence, and so do the guys they date.Įvery second of Euphoria makes you want to press pause, so as to soak it all in for just another second.

Created by Sam Levinson (Assassination Nation) and starring Zendaya (most recently seen in Spider-Man: Far From Home), Euphoria is a depiction of what it’s like to be a teenager right now - at least, that’s what it feels like to me, at the grand old (irrelevant) age of 26. The premise for Euphoria feels like any other teen show: an ensemble of characters from varying cliques (popular girls, jocks and weirdos included) all attempt to navigate adolescence, participating in parties and prom nights whilst still trying to make their grades.īut there’s a depth to this show that sets it apart from the rest. This post contains mild spoilers for Euphoria, but only for Kat’s storyline. ![]()
