Season two was honestly so underwhelming. I am a huge fan of many actresses and actors on the show, and I thoroughly enjoyed season one. However, the completely new vibe that euphoria had suddenly changed into in season two was so incredibly forced. You can really tell they're trying to get awards for that because the whole colour palette has changed.
Rue's story was skippable in so many ways. Let's be real, everyone wanted to see the Cassie and Maddy storyline, not the same repetitive funeral speech that would always take out a chunk of each episode. I know, Rue losing her father was an integral part of her story, however a lot of minutes spent repeating the same part of the funeral speech, could have been used to show more interesting parts of the season. The finale was such a massive waste of time- it pains me to write this - but barely anything happened, there are so many unanswered questions! Also, in the end everything seemed so rushed, you're really going to end it with rue just walking away?!!
Honestly i've never been so disappointed with a series finale before. Never in my life have I given a show 2 stars but my goodness Tiktok really makes it seem like the episode is going to be explosive and then it's about two scenes and the rest is just Rue's story. Of course, I know she is the main character, however I think in season three the story shouldn't be so heavily centred around her character. You know, it could go from a cat fight between Cassie and Maddy ( what the people have been dying to see ) to a singing scene with elliot!1! I mean come on. Honestly I wish I had just watched season one and stopped there, because it's like season one has no correlation with season 2. Like, where the hell did McKay go, did he just disappear into thin air? I know Kat's actress had problems with the producers, but seriously, if you're going to write her out, you could at least do it less obviously considering how important her character was in season 1!
The acting on the show is incredible though, and that's solely the reason why this is getting 2 stars instead of one. There are a lot of flaws that have emerged because of season 2, sam do better.
