Despite Levinson’s clear command over his storytelling aesthetic, Zendaya’s strong turn, and a rich authenticity driving each scene, viewers shouldn’t expect to enjoy the series, which is ultimately its biggest downfall. ... As it stands, the severe darkness dulls the impact beyond blunt force trauma. There’s a connection to be made with Rue and her journey, but joy seems too far out of reach.

Beautifully shot, artfully composed, nevertheless unsettling and needlessly cruel. To really get the show, one must shed any notion that a teenager can be happy or satisfied — even in moments of chemical or sexual ecstasy. The show defies any notion that stories are something that build toward a moral or a theme or even a central idea. ... The narrative never coheres because it’s not really supposed to. Alluring yes, but far from great television.

The performances, particularly by Zendaya, Schaefer and Ferreira -- are not the problem. But getting “real” doesn’t have to mean diving head first into a cesspool of drugs, profanity, promiscuity and a borderline indifference to it all. That’s where Euphoria so far fails not only itself, but the many impressionable youth that likely will be the series’ core audience.

Euphoria has all the elements of a juicy teen soap, but the high school antics are curdled into their most sickening formulations, the fun sanded off till the skin is raw. Everywhere you look is only sadness and debasement. Euphoria has plenty of antecedents, other teen incitements that push a frenzied kind of emptiness—Kids, Skins, Less Than Zero—but there’s an especial dullness to Euphoria’s provocation.

If the pilot is any indication how the rest of the season will play out I think we got a good one on our hands.
Edit: I don’t know why this isn’t getting much better reviews, great show.

Really liking this show so far. Three episodes in and can't wait for the next one.

There is something genius and vanguard somewhere inside the series. Much like there is life and self-esteem inside Rue. But it's hard to tell if we'll find it. Sometimes it feels pointless, but then again, that may very well be the point, just like Rue's life.

The first episode was full of sex and artifice just to try to shock its viewer, even more in the emphasis given to showing genitals even being prostheses. At first it did not seem promising, I hope the next episodes the plot has a better way to follow

This is the work of Hollywood pedophiles, working day and night to corrupt children so they can use them for their wicked and perverted ends. Hollywood need to be burned to the ground and restarted again
