Damn. That was stressful.

What a finale. Good god.

What a horribly bleak and stupid finale.

What an utterly pointless season of television.

At least it's over for good…

'Euphoria' Officially Ending With Season 3, HBO Confirms https://t.co/5yvmlH5Wu5

— Variety (@Variety) June 1, 2026

I'm not even sure how I feel about that episode yet. I was not expecting such a heavy biblical swing to the season but, looking back at the previous episodes, it makes a lot of sense.

Yep. Over and I know I will never come back to watch it again but they did a good job keeping me here while it lasted.

As bleak as that was, gotta say I really enjoyed it. When I was started to realize where the ending was heading it was like "are they really gonna do this?" and damn they did. The bar scene was riveting and the end hit more emotionally than I expected, also has a lot to do with Colman Domingo as an actor.

If you don't watch the aftershow featurettes there's a few cool tidbits in this one, gave me a bit more insight into why the creator took it where he did.

I have never seen a single episode of this series. Worth watching?

Better or worse for any particular demographic?

Tarantino was the one for me. The over the top violence, the way it was shot, etc. And some of the dialog, like early in the season when Alamo and crew are talking about "Have you ever been called a pig?" had a lot of diner scene in Reservoir Dogs vibes to it.

100% the most beautifully shot thing in a while. All the actors did great. And I liked the new characters. Yet, I found myself pretty bored and disinterested a lot of it.

Wasn't bad but definitely a series that limped to the finish line.

I could see Colman Domingo picking up an Emmy for guest star. He is always gold.

Also, Kitty's horrific butt implant was good for a laugh.

I don't suggest it. It is entertaining to an extent but there are so many other series that do not leave you shaking your head the entire time.

I say do it but forewarning that it is kind of bonkers and definitely not for the easily offended lol. I don't know that it has an age demo as much as it has a "are you cool with drugs, sex, and violence" stories regardless of age vibe. I recommend it. No regrets at all

Yeah, if you're looking for a tightly written neatly wrapped up story this ain't it. But if you're up for a crazy ride? Go for it.

It'll make you never want to have kids, kinda.

Shows the absolute underbelly of urban liberal hellscape for the youth of America.

This last season was "grown up" because they were all out of high school and **** for real, fast.

But the previous seasons were literally 15 and 16 year old kids doing drugs, having sex, committing crimes.. etc.
it was like a modern day "Kids" but kinda more fked up.

Wanted to tag along on this with a funny story. Had a friend over for dinner last week who is in her mid 50's and she brought her daughter who is 21. They were talking about watching Euphoria, and the Mom looks at her daughter and goes something to the effect of "you told me once that show is the most accurate depiction of modern day youth in America". To which I'm thinking oh **** our youth is in big trouble.

The daughter looks at her all confused and goes "I didn't say that, there is no way that is true, it isn't what I experienced at all in high school"

Which made me lol that this daughter had casually slipped that comment in at some point, and not really meant it (and forgotten all about it) and the mother had been stressing that her daughter's HS experience was all sex/drugs.

Not in many places… but it is definitely like that in many places.

I'm surprised there is not more posted on here about the show because of Sydney Sweeney. I don't recall there being a thread about her movie the housemaid. I guess that movie having the most annoying audience since Minecraft and Amanda seyfried tap dancing on Charlie Kirk's grave didn't help. I expected many threads on here about Sydney's nude scene

I found it to be interesting and entertaining, but not great. The Watch podcast did a good job all season of pointing out all of the nods Levinson did toward cinematic styles and history, but if you're not really into that (I'm not either), it's really kind of all over the place.

I really think both Season 3 and the finale are encapsulations of the fact that this show never really knew what it wanted to be.

Coherent storytelling and good writing were never really part of the equation here. However, it does have some interesting commentary on addiction and human suffering... even if it's not done well throughout. It has its moments.

As others have said, it is defintely a wild ride and it is definitely entertaining....but there are a lot of other good options out there.

At the end of the day the show started out with super over the top antics (which got it attention), established stars like Zendaya, and newcomers (Sweeney, Elordi) that quickly became superstars which = ratings. So a 3rd season was inevitable but I am not sure that Levinson knew where he was going and there were a LOT of storytelling deadends that just...ended.

That really sums it up well. A lot of great pieces, and a lot of great individual scenes, but they never came together into something bigger.

What sort of responses were you expecting about Sydney Sweeney?

And I wouldn't think that The Housemaid is really a movie that appeals to the typical TexAgs audience, I only even knew about it because my wife read the book. Might catch it on streaming at some point.

From watching some of the behind the scenes it sounds like this is a story that started as something really personal/somewhat autobiographical to Levinson, at least when it came to Rue's struggles. He mentions that were he growing up now he would've ended up like Rue.

Obviously went kinda wild with how to get there, and very much agreed that the show never quite figured out what it wanted to be. But if nothing else it was (usually) interesting.
