Euphoria S3 E5 [Review]

We are back for another week of East Highland drama, and Steven and Régine are having a hard time finding the "prestige" in this prestige television. In our review of Euphoria Season 3, Episode 5, we’re breaking down why the show is starting to feel more like a fever dream than a grounded drama. Steven and Régine dive into the absurdity of the current plotlines and why Sam Levinson’s latest choices feel like they were made for the "vibes" rather than the story.

In this episode, we discuss the widening gap between the fans who love the absurdity and those of us who are looking for real character growth. We explore why certain character arcs feel like they’ve completely stalled and how the show’s attempts at shock value are starting to lose their impact. Whether it is the questionable medical logic or the strange pacing, we are calling out the moments that made us want to turn off the TV.

If you are looking for actual television with stakes, we also touch on our progress through The Walking Dead and our Marvel cinematic rewatch. Steven and Régine are keeping it 100 on whether Euphoria can still be saved or if it has officially leaned too far into being a parody of itself. Stay tuned for our final ratings to see where this episode lands.
