I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I almost gave up on the first episode because of how boring and clinical I found it but then it started getting more interesting and expressionistic in its storytelling and aesthetic from ep 2 onwards. Some really chilling moments there

Yeah - it was only at the end of episode 1 where I started to think this might have teeth.
That whole bit about the branding and everything leading up to was quite chilling - especially hearing 'But then Lauren explains it, and it's a little less weird' - how manipulated were these people

Finished Euphoria... just stunning. I didn't like some story choices but a truly beautiful show, one of the best things I've seen recently
