    a lot of the plot focuses on them being in high school/minors. if it was in college, nate wouldn't be able to hold jules' photos legally against her, rue probably wouldn't have gone to rehab, and nate's dad with jules as well.

      True! It's also an easier setting to get a bigger mix of very different personalities/backgrounds together in a mandatory place, where it makes sense their stories intertwine. I'd assume some of the Euphoria characters would not want to go to college, would not have the means to, or would not last long in college, so it would be harder to create cohesion and diversity in the cast that doesn't look forced and unnatural.

    I think some people forget that just because THEIR highschool experience wasn’t like Euphoria, that doesn’t mean nobody’s was. Obviously, highschools can be different. For me personally, my peers started smoking at around age 12-13, and many have already consumed drugs by the time they are Juniors.
    Plus, if it were set in college, family dynamics would be more difficult to explore.

    • @RukiyaReacts
      @RukiyaReacts  2 роки тому +68

      I agree 100%. It’s a difficult thing to witness on screen because we want kids to enjoy being kids. But the sad reality is that many get exposed to sex, drugs, etc. at a young age. It’s good to have that shown in TVs and movies instead of a cookie-cutter-perfect high school experience.

    • @deViianceTV
      @deViianceTV 2 роки тому +4

      Exactly!!! I hate that argument when people say it would’ve been better in college. Meanwhile what popular shows out right now tackle these themes in a college setting? None, and if they do it’s more comical than anything, not dark and mature like Euphoria. Ever since Degrassi, high school shows have always had a raunchyness to them because in general, high school is a raunchy place full of people with many experiences that don’t get talked about enough.

      @@deViianceTV that's the issue. NONE of these issues are portrayed in a college setting. It's always a high school one. I think more of these should be shown in college...not high school. High school is a raunchy place, sure. That doesn't mean you portray TEENAGERS who are CHILDREN with explicit nudity and sex scenes. It's very disgusting that adults are playing children while having explicit sex. Grand Army and I hate everything are good at showing that some teenagers have sex without over exploiting it and being explicit. How the hell are teens supposed to relate when most of us cannot even watch the show? It WOULD fit college more in my honest opinion. SOME teenagers do all of this but it is over played in the media as something that is normal. It's not. Infact statistically, less and less teens are having sex. Our grandparents did it more than us. Yet it is so overrepresented in "teen shows".

The episode outlining her weight-gain summer on Virgin Pina Coladas was sad. But any empathy she deserves is squashed with every new lie she tells. Her cruelty is nowhere near Maddy's truly unkind heart (save it about damage, neglect, her mother; by this point, it's all on her. Maddy is on another level exclusively; they are all scripting their bleak futures. The men who paid Kat to humiliate and degrade them?

    It works better with them being in a high school setting. It increases the sense of irresponsibility and the tension that comes from the idea of all this stuff going on in a situation/setting that is more inescapable than a college where they can just leave at will. The idea of them being a bunch of mice in a trap, sometimes of their own making and sometimes not, plus the seediness and hopelessness of it being teenagers and children going through this stuff makes it far more unsettling and that works better for the tone of the show.
    The reaction is centred around being uncomfortable watching teens go through these experiences but I believe it's also the point of the show to provoke those feelings and reactions.

    Euphoria doesn’t need to be in any different setting the show is so good because every teen that watches the show relates to atleast 1 of the characters because of how real this stuff is for teens and it doesn’t make it “aesthetic” and quirky it makes the issues gross and dirty and disgusting

    It is as if the creators of the show go out of their way to make it a point to not have "minority" characters depicted negatively by the plenty.
    Instead, the theme is almost a concoction of *_'Beverly Hills 90210'_* mixed with the likes of *_'Kids'_* _(the 1995 movie)_ , *_Less Than Zero_* _(1987)_ , and *_'The Basketball Diaries'_* _(1995)_ content *magnified for a 21st century target market.*
    The influence of "urban" _(safe word for certain classes/backgrounds of Blacks and "people of color")_ pop cultural influences on music and speaking styles (accents, slang, dialect) is throughout the show _(Hey there Drake!)_ but instead of two to ten Black characters pushing drugs, having sex, doing drugs, exhibiting so-called "at risk" behaviors, etc...the show addresses such themes without adding images of more "minorities" in a negative spotlight. Instead, _'Euphoria'_ has Tupac's music as Fez drives a _1990's Impala_ (😁!), Biggie's music is at parties, all types of Hip-Hop influenced episode titles (in Season 1).....but with a mostly non-minority cast to show problems that effect _all types_ of youth throughout society ( _"Keepin' it real"_ 🥴🙄). By doing so, the series mixes in modern "urban influences" while reaching a wide target market and also holding the interest of a varied 21st century demographic.
    The writer(s) and producers know exactly what they have here, and exactly what they're doing..... 📽 🎬 🎞

    The only reason I think Euphoria should be in a college setting is because of the nudity. Hollywood loves the "these are underage characters but here's them nude" thing, and it's disgusting imo, whether the actors are legal or not. It feeds into a lot of p*do stuff in society and in Hollywood. Like why are we seeing these highschoolers nude? It doesn't actually add to the realness of the show, which I know people love to argue. We can allude or have these scenes without the "teen" nudity. That's the only reason I'd like to see it as a college show.

    as someone who was rooting for rules last season, im not sure if im excited abt them getting together again this season. rue and jules both need to work on themselves before getting in a relationship, and so far that's clearly not happened. that's literally the reason why things didnt work out last season and i do not want to see that happen again😭 also i better not see anyone blaming jules and treating her as a villain ive had enough for that. yes she was not good for rue, but rue was not good for her either. a prediction i have is that elliot and rue will become rlly good friends, and thatll make jules jealous bc she doesnt know anything abt this friendship, and ofc rue is not going to tell her the truth which is literally just drugs. and so things between them might become toxic again i fear. (ppl need to stop shipping elliot and rue and acting like this is gonna b some love triangle when rue and jules r literally lesbians btw)

Tbh McKay deserves better than Cassie.
