From there, we transitioned to a white background and Netflix’s updated logo in mid-to-late 2018. Since…

Warning: This story contains spoilers for Euphoria Season 3, Episode 1 After a four-plus-year absence, Euphoria made its much-anticipated return to HBO April 12 for a third and likely final season of watching Zendaya’s Rue Bennett make horrifying decisions. Reviews haven’t exactly been warm and fuzzy for the nine-time Emmy winning drama. Though creator Sam Levinson managed to lure back most of his mega-wattage cast that includes Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo and Hunter Schafer, critics have been mostly frustrated with the series’ inability to share anything entertaining or insightful.

Euphoria is lurid, overheated, violent, fetishistic, hyper-stylized, cynical, sentimental, melodramatic, druggy dirtbag action trash, so of course I love it. But it’s not hard to see why this has come to be the position of an increasingly beleaguered minority. Even putting aside the show’s lengthy-for-a-million-reasons absence from screens and writer-director-creator Sam Levinson’s “where there’s smoke, there’s…well, there’s smoke” air of disreputability, one need look no further than Stranger Things to see how critical fortunes can shift when the stars of a high-school drama age up. That show still at least pretended to be set during high school. What is Euphoria…
