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.

not a patch on something like skins

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.

I wonder, though, am I really dense because it was only in Ep3 that I realised (not sure if a spoiler.....):

Yes, i'd say at least slightly dense

To be fair, euphoria does mostly have an onscreen text for the messages - just the closed caps block it if you're using them!

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.
