Like the close-up of Rue spinning out of nostalgia after Jules left in “Trouble does not always last, ” Euphoriathe latest special program moves all the way in, maintaining a plot for close-up character analysis. This time, it’s Jules in mind. We just don’t see what happened when Jules left Rue on that train platform last season. Instead, we’ll see what happened next. The program typically takes place at a therapy session, where Jules talks about sex, family, love, self – image, self – harm, and more. The script is sometimes too valuable, but it all comes together because of the powerhouse force that Hunter Schafer has. She gives an inevitable presentation throughout, making for a television program that is very memorable and special.
The program literally maintains a very close focus on Jules, with much of it appearing in long shots of nearby Jules talking through her emotions. Some of these feelings are related to sex and sexuality: She is considering turning off some of her hormones because she feels like she has made so many of her decisions in her life based on making himself desirable for men. Some of those feelings are related to her mother, to whom she has little relationship. Many of these feelings are related to Rue. All of these things rub against each other. Jules expresses anger at Rue for making her nostalgia depend on what Jules has to offer. She doesn’t realize at first that she talks about Rue in the same way she talks about her mother. Her therapist must identify her. These small moments make this feel like a real and intense healing session. Jules speaks as if she knows exactly what she’s feeling, but sometimes she can’t see what’s right in front of her.
The program’s direction is a bit quicker than “Trouble Don’t Always Last,” but there’s still a level of obstruction that isn’t seen in most of the first season of the show. The slides away from the healing session are fluid and dynamic. “A girl had never looked at me like Rue did,” Jules says as we see Rue’s face from her sight. Even the lights of the scene feel intimate and warm. Euphoria as well as evoking certain emotions, and this Jules-centric program really feels like a deep dive into the character’s womb.
T.it will be more like parts of the program working well, following some Euphoriaaesthetic aesthetics but still firmly rooted in the emotional narrative. Jules goes into a kind of horror when she remembers sexting with “Tyler,” who actually caught Nate. She created a fantasy while sexting it, and that fantasy is controlled by reality. A fact in which Nate was trying to hurt her. The program moves into a true style series that relies on a pulsating score and dance-like restraint. But he still feels strongly rooted in character, full of obvious emotion and feels a sense of fear and confusion.

We also literally see one of Jules ’heavyweights play outdoors, and it’s quite different from the amazing life that Rue imagined for her and Jules in New York. Rue ‘s addition has a profound effect on Jules, especially because of her relationship with her mother. In the same way Euphoria giving so much sympathy to what Rue experienced as an addict, this program looks at all the challenges that come with being an addict support system and being intimately connected to someone who struggle with slavery. We see it in the way Jules thinks of her mother, and we see it in the way she interacts with Rue. They both share so much. They hold so much love for each other, but that love gives and takes. There is so much care in Rue ‘s view of managing Jules’ s sights. And then there’s so much devastation in Jules ’nightmare that Rue can’t answer the door. The animation is still the strongest part of the show, but it’s particularly interesting because of how difficult it is to explain. The romance between them is as moving as the conflict eatorra. Jules and Rue are devastating and magical.
Even though not much happens in this program, there is a lot going on at the character level. “I want to be as beautiful as the ocean,” Jules muses at one point. This thought goes into memories of her grandmother, a reflection on femininity, a touch of spirituality with a trans lens. It is interspersed with views of Jules in the ocean. It’s beautiful, but there’s a mess nonetheless as well. It recalls the monologues that flowed freely from Angela Chase inward My So-Called Life, and Hunter Schafer is just as strong as a teenage girl full of contradictions and complexity as Claire Danes was in that role. Watching the program feels like reading Jules diary. It feels like getting an undeveloped, organic, and complex view into her psyche. Her thoughts weave between so many different important moments and memories from her life, but it’s all connected. Euphoria keeps us so rooted in Jules ’vision that it is easy to follow from one point to the next.
Again, none of this would have worked if Schafer hadn’t been so talented and in control of the stuff. The conversation on Euphoria at times it feels so deliberately poetic that it almost comes off as stilted or overwrought. That’s sometimes true in “Fuck Someone Who’s Not A Sea Blob,” but it’s also one of the strongest written events in the entire series. Sam Levinson is usually the only writing credit for titles, but this time he shares a writing credit with Schafer, making him the standout star of this program on several levels. The script is a quiet but strong stream of engaging emotion. We see Jules moving between so many different emotions, desire, and ideas of herself. This is the good kind of message—a mess that feels deeply human. Euphoria Jules lets go of pressure with contradictions. Her monologues have a special uniqueness but they also capture so many things at once. The writing does a lot with a little, and it doesn’t Euphoriathe normal distance.
