    This show is great, hard watch at times in a good way. Stylish, moody, dramatic but leaves out all the YA tropes and really tries to focus on the hyper realization of trauma, selfishness, harm, repressed feelings, violence, sex, addiction and so much more. And as this video displayed, incredibly crafted and cared for within the frame.

    Only reason why I watch it. Levinson is good at making shots and building drama, but S2 i feel wasn't satisfying in a narrative sense.

    Both Better Call Saul and Euphoria have their own way of achieving ambitious visuals. BCS is well planned, engineered, and more mature on shots, season 6's tank scene was phenomenal. Plus those object-view shots are pretty unique and well thought out. Same for the writing and characters.
    Euphoria, on the other hand, achieves unique visuals from a gen-Z perspective. The entire show is almost like gossip or a long TikTok clip. Non-linearity of storytelling, shots, visuals, and character introductions all have this weird harmony in it. Sure it is too edgy, but this is not too farfetched from what gen-z folks like me experienced during their high school and college years. And visuals reflect all that very truely, all the flashiness and darkness, dips and peaks are all there showing an accurate portrait on that front.
    Though, I wouldn't call Euphoria "the most visually compelling show" tbh. It is definitely unique but in the league that it is in, there is no "the best". BSC and Euphoria are equally superb at what they are aiming to do with their visuals and overall storytelling.

      Though Euphoria's Staging, Camerawork & Movement with Labyrinth's Legendary Tracks is Insane but....I have to say this BCS's Visual Storytelling is hands-down Perfection with insane editing, the use of Objects for psychology depiction of characters and Cuts that feels like a breeze best example is 6x09 opening before intro theme playing "Perfect Day" with insane well engineered cuts and they have so many montages like this.....The Cinematography of BCS is truly a gift for television viewers.

    Probably the only show I've watched that does justice to the experience of being a teenager in 2022. Another thing I love about the show is its complexity. When it wants to it can slow things down and let the brilliant actors to their magic. The Christmas scene between Rue and Ali in the diner is some of the best writing and acting put to television in the last 20 years.

    Sam is an absolute genius. Because it's a show about teenagers it doesn't get as much credit as it deserves but the direction and writing are incredible and Sam Levinson deserves emmy nominations for that. The camera angles are stunning and always make me wonder how they pulled it off.

    I still feel conflicted about this show, it is no doubt beautiful, but i don't know if i can say the same about the writing, it is a bit, dramatic maybe, it felt like it was turbo charged on purpose, in the same way that sometimes bad directors put epic music to manipulate and try to pull emotions out of you in a scene, the show is good, but it could have been better if there was someone who could tell the show runner that sometimes less is more but maybe you have to do just to try and keep the attention of the audience.

    I have never watched it but just from the clips you showed the camerawork seems heavily derivative of Casino and Goodfellas. The couple of scenes beginning at 2:37 are classic Scorcese, also Boogie Nights/ Magnolia era Paul Thomas Anderson. In fact the clips 2:43 which starts with a photographer snapping is lifted directly from Scorcese and latterly Anderson.

      Well yeah I say in the video it’s moving like Goodfellas. The point is no other show combines all of these 7 qualities together. Even Goodfellas is 2 or 3/7
