A really stylish, kinda dark, high school "coming of age" show.
Almost finished this, found it brilliant so far. Zendaya is fantastic as Rue.

Probably going to start this as my next series. Thought it sounded pretty great from an article I read.
I really liked it. Very stylish, great soundtrack and some genuinely great acting.
Lol, It's far better than Skins IMO. A whole other league in fact. You may have agreed if you spent more than 20 minutes on it...

Has this finished yet? I plane to get a month's worth on Now TV for Sky Atlantic to check it out.
Good question, I just downloaded it all via Sky's On Demand.

3 episodes in - it's really quite good, but a bit depressing. I can only watch one episode at a time 
I wonder, though, am I really dense because it was only in Ep3 that I realised (not sure if a spoiler.....):
I just hadn't picked up on it until they said it out loud. I wonder if I missed it in some of the text message exchanges earlier through a mixture of sometimes watching with subtitles (that unhelpfully block the onscreen text messages), and my wifi bridge seemingly dying and causing stuff to play at really low res, on and off, so I can't really read them anyway.
Edit:
Edited because I totally ****** up that spoiler (it was missing)

Jules is a trans woman.

I'm enjoying it feels like an American homage to the proper UK version of skins.
good point - I don't know - but didn't read them either
(rant) tv programmes that have plot lines communicated with texts are annoying .. I am usually, not watching with that degree of attention,
whose going to see that, too, watching on a mobile phone :
programmes that overlay the text on the screen/5thwall are better - recent stylish film about uber driver manipulating passengers to kill did that .. can't remember its name

To be fair, euphoria does mostly have an onscreen text for the messages - just the closed caps block it if you're using them!
Yes, i'd say at least slightly dense
When did we find out? And when did the other characters realise? That jock dude - did he know straight away? Is that why he was such a dick immediately?

It helped that I knew who Hunter Schafer was to be fair, and you know, jaw lines and what not and also the motel scene with poppers. I believe you see her *cough* package.. quite swiftly too

I just assumed it was an anal sex thing in that instance
I'd never heard of the actor. Once I realised it in the show, I assumed it was a woman playing trans. It was another discovery that she was trans too

Believe it or not, this is actually her first acting role... which is pretty impressive. She's a model, primarily.

Oh ****! I just remembered there was a scene where they were both lying on the bed and it looked like she had something in her underpants!
It all makes sense now
... we need some reference points for what folks thought it was good or bad in respect to ?
for me much lower quality than skins or the inbetweeners (I'd watch a repeat of those over this)
hypothesis ... mainly because its for the american market ... netflix (as you've probably read?) profile their market and write dramas to that usa teen/YA demographic ... (lol was it called sex education) ... so the characters and their behaviour are alien ... so you have to put it in the same gendre as something like GOT. ..
