Huge drop in quality from last week. I think euphoria is the most variable show in terms of quality I have ever watched. There was some stuff to love in this episode, Zendaya's performance is still top notch - the narration is still a fun gimmick, and I quite like Nate's conversation with his mother. Nate's scene with Maddie was dreadful - you could tell how clever they thought they were being with the mirror shot, but nobody can take Nate seriously and we know he wouldn't kill her so there is absolutely no suspense. Maddie's reaction was well acted, but it was the most melodramatic the show has become so far, forcing moments of drama that feel cheap compared to the legitimately tragic and realistic stuff this show does on drugs and being trans. I also hate Kat, she was so much more likeable last season and now she just treats her boyfriend terribly. I genuinely don't understand the point in this storyline now - hopefully the show proves me wrong. I also couldn't help cringing at the Fezco and Lexi scene, but I do really like their relationship / friendship.
Overall not great in my opinion, though I've seen lots of people praise it so I might have to rewatch a few times.
