- Quotes
Rue Bennett: I promise you. If I could be a different person, I would. Not because I want it, but because they do. But here's the thing. One day, I just showed up without a map or a compass, and at some point, you have to make a choice... about who you are and what you want. And therein lies the catch.

Featured review
You will feel mixed emotions with each character!
The writers of Euphoria have done fantastic job of creating the life of a teenager in high school and the style and acting makes every moment seem so authentic. Sam Levinson appears to have a facet of himself in all the characters he writes one way or another in this show. A classic industry saying is write what you know and in doing so, you will have more empathy invested in your characters.
With that said this first episode introduces all the characters with style and draws the audience into a world most older viewers would know little of. It focuses on a group of kids trying to navigate the world today from their perspective. Social media has brought forward this feeling of a narcissistic pursuit, often indulging in oneself more than required. The world is consistently changing and this early episode shows effectively an anxiety within the young created through drugs, sex and social media. The constant need for attention juxtaposed with feelings of emptiness and never being good enough. The whispering walls of lies and deceit. The first episode is undoubtedly a real eye opener of the hurt and cruelty young people suffer in todays times. The most intriguing part of this is the cinematography alongside the acting, due to the interesting close ups adding to the unnerving atmosphere.
