Excellent work! I am looking forward to seeing which characters will be able to integrate their shadow selves and individuate in comparison to those who will become more firmly entrenched in their maladaptive personality style and seek out other characters who can complement said personality style (an example being Cassie as the histrionic moth that is drawn to Nate’s narcissistic fire or even Cassie and Maddy as two sides of the same histrionic coin; one is more passive and effeminate (Cassie) while the other is more aggressive and bombastic (Maddy). All musings aside, keep up the great content!
Love this analysis. You've just made me want to watch both seasons again! Your essays are always top notch, but this one shows that you and the show writers are talking the same rich language in terms of psychology and trauma.
I'm not the biggest fan of McKay but I liked his backstory. I like how when he got into a fight at the football game when he was a little kid and he was in and his dad was talking to him and McKay said "But Daddy! He said..." and his dad said, "I don't give a good god damn! He wants to make you angry! He wants to pick on you! People are gonna do this you're whole life!" (something along those lines. Not exactly what he said but you get it.) and then he said, "What you do is, you hold it all back. All that anger, rage, and determination and when that snap comes...you let it EXPLODE!" and then it showed him winning a touchdown as a teenager in high school. And his dad is right. People picking on you to get a reaction out of you is a distraction. Use it for upping your game at the opportune times! When "that snap comes, you EXPLODE!" (you win!)
I was a Lexie in high school. Overshadowed, overlooked, dressed as Bob Ross at a sexy Halloween party xD While the thought that a public school would ever greenlight a student's play, let alone have the funding to produce it, was ridiculous, seeing Lexie read everyone for filth was weirdly cathartic for me.
This was a good video! I really enjoyed your analysis. I agree with your talking points, especially on events in S2. It kind of made me sad because I wish the development and writing on S2 was better 😢 makes me think of what could’ve been with better direction
What a wonderful analysis of this series that is somehow crafted in a particular way that allows it to shine despite the writing inconsistencies. I consider Euphoria is still a very good work although imperfect. You got a new subscriber ❤
I'm so glad you made this video because watching this show explains why people become who they are. It all has to do with childhood. Often it has to do with trauma.
@@JustanObservation great video, but I am curious, why didn’t mention McKay. He had a backstory and trauma that I feel like the show just ignored /mishandled ( his sexual assault)
@@JustanObservation in terms of the characters. Like their issues are not developed all that well in s2 and the whole love triangle is riverdale level of writing Plus they keep abandoning plot lines for no reason
Nice video. I do wish you had included Cassie being sexualized by her family/older adults when she was still a child. I feel like that on top of what you stated contributed to behaviors. Take care
I'm sorry, but Cal didn't "have a kid without his consent". He chose to have sex and had a consequence from that. If we're going to shame women for getting pregnant, let's have the same if not more shame towards the guys for being completely irresponsible.
It’s kinda good series but it gonna be great if they cared a little bit abt the small details like s,ex sceneries ( it so over tbh ) , make it more real one , n s1 was much better s2 , s2 hasnt a lot of thing that happened, maybe it was only good 4 rue n faze , the other characters they almost didn’t change at all
I'll be real for a second: the only reason Sam L got this was because his dad is a famous director and because Euphoria was an already existing IP from the other side of he globe. He was born on 3rd base thinking he hit a triple and as the most recent season showed, he's unable to create something new and interesting without help. Sorry, but Sam needs the help of a writer's room, which is not always a bad thing.
Short Backstory isn't fantastic writing, its basic work, but seeing other shows, makes this stand out, its not a compliment for the business, great writing is considered a rough watch and is changed to neon lights and creative angles and editing. Because instagram generation wants to see and not to think, tic-tok generation will want 10 min episodes and constant narration of what is going on...
I hate that McCay and the fourth friend in Maddie's group barely got any screen time. The fourth girl didn't even get a back story. Then they made McCay a villain almost. Not cool
The zoomer jock quarterback makes zero sense. That generation grew up completely emasculated and I found it far fetched it’s a very gen x way of writing his generation into a generation that really doesn’t have that, they’re not allowed to express being the aggressive jock. I just didn’t buy it and it threw the show off for me.
Wow. It seems like each character is searching for “Euphoria” in something different.
HE SAID IT OMG HE SAID IT!
Aha!
this is THE BEST euphoria essay ever, finally pointing out the depth of each character and why we empathize with them even knowing they are not right!
This is the best Euphoria essay I’ve come across. Nice work!
Euphoria is simply brilliant, poetic and on top the direction is top notch

This evaluation deserves way more views. It makes so much sense
you are criminally underviewed! these are brilliant essays. keep it up!

Brilliant essay. Amazing work. Great job.
Surprised you didn’t mention McKay. Dude had a backstory

@@hwoods-kg1jfYeah what it really does is make you depressed and ready to lash out at any given moment.
Love the channel!! Keep it up man!

Found this hidden gem by Walter White evolution video. Amazaing content man. Will definetly stay here for long.
Excellent analysis!!!! I just subscribed to your channel!!!
The show did a good job at depth to an extent I have never seen any show do
The best video analysis on Euphoria!
What a wonderful analysis of this series that is somehow crafted in a particular way that allows it to shine despite the writing inconsistencies. I consider Euphoria is still a very good work although imperfect. You got a new subscriber ❤
best euphoria essay by farrr
Congrats on 100,000 subscribers!!
Might never watch most of the shows u do essays on... But i will always watch ur vids
I'm so glad you made this video because watching this show explains why people become who they are. It all has to do with childhood. Often it has to do with trauma.
Thank you for capturing it so perfectly!
This was a great take 👏🏼
That was an excellent examination of the show. Really well done!
I mean i would agree about this for the first season. But second season showed that Sam Levinson clearly needs help with the writing
In which respect? I can see some character inconsistencies in terms of the pace of the turnaround, but they can usually be explained (eg Kat).
@@JustanObservation great video, but I am curious, why didn’t mention McKay. He had a backstory and trauma that I feel like the show just ignored /mishandled ( his sexual assault)
@@JustanObservation in terms of the characters. Like their issues are not developed all that well in s2 and the whole love triangle is riverdale level of writing
Plus they keep abandoning plot lines for no reason
I think because there wasn’t enough time after the climax to tie loose ends
@@iusedtowrite6667 i think they also had to change some storylines cos apparently actors werent getting along, could just be a rumor tho
I have watched so many essays on euphoria and this might be the specific one 👍
great video, keep up the good work!!
This is some of the darkest shit I’ve ever watched 💀💀
Nice video.
I do wish you had included Cassie being sexualized by her family/older adults when she was still a child. I feel like that on top of what you stated contributed to behaviors.
Take care
Love this ❤️ ALMOST AT 100k
Hours away :)
glad i watched this it was interesting, even though i know i'm not ever going to watch the actual show.
you explained id ego and super ego in a way that finally clicked!
Here is a South African comment you were looking for.
a nigerian one for good measure
the reason why i love euphoria so much is because the complex characters
How does this not have more views
This video is so much better than the actual show
this needs more views
i like this show. there's no character i particularly root for so i just enjoy all the chaos.
So close to 100k
Great show, but really mean spirited and unnecessarily dark
great video!
Wow. That's amazing. Ty
Thank you
excellent video
Now, Cal definitely had consent when he got a girl pregnant.
Right! 😂
What about McKay
What about Lexi?
Best channel!
Euphoria HBO show best realistic toxic show ever in world 🎥
Euphoria is like the bad version of Bojack Horseman
I'm sorry, but Cal didn't "have a kid without his consent". He chose to have sex and had a consequence from that. If we're going to shame women for getting pregnant, let's have the same if not more shame towards the guys for being completely irresponsible.

Fucking great analysis of human psyche and its manifestations in story.
CHEFS KISS.
Fantastic video

🔥
one of the producers is drake, known to sell drugs and doing other stuff? what is the take on that?
*slow clap*
By writing them poorly and inconsistently?
I hate that McCay and the fourth friend in Maddie's group barely got any screen time. The fourth girl didn't even get a back story. Then they made McCay a villain almost. Not cool

Ahh.. Yes. Euphoria, every annoying woke Twitter girl's favorite show
Don’t like euphoria! Never watched it! Unsubscribed!
Lol that about sums it up
