This unreliability allows the series to dial up full bombast. (Her and Jules’ matching tattoos, for example.) Her unreliability has been proven several times over, as we often see things that don’t actually occur, or jive with her telling of them. At this point, nothing Rue says should be taken without a pinch of powder.
Several times this episode she reminds us she wasn’t there-or sober-to know exactly what happened. How Rue is able to make these moves has always been suspect. Episode 2, though it begins with Nate, will make several character jumps, accessing multiple people’s thoughts and activities. Episode 1 featured Fez, whose adolescence Rue chronicles from criminal witness to criminal. Nate is carried to a car by several people as Rue’s narration begins.Įach Euphoria episode tends to favor a single character with Rue acting as third-party narrator. Just watch how Peter Dinklage and Sibel Kekilli interact this week and tell me that it’s not one of the best shows on television right now, or ever.The following contains spoilers for Euphoria season 2 episode 2.Įuphoria’s second episode picks up where episode one left off: at the New Year’s Eve house party where Fez attempts to follow through on his threat against Nate, namely, by killing him. Even without a lead character per se, the show has somehow improved by leaning on its impressive ensemble cast. Weiss and David Benioff write, how Alan Taylor directs, and how the actors perform. The transitions between scenes, locations, and even worlds in this week’s episode are confidently handled, and that confidence seems reflected in how D.B. The show seems comfortable with what it has become. When there are a few weeks of not hearing from (for example) Dany, she’s easily forgettable with a check-in now and again, we’re reminded of her current situation (which, admittedly, had a good payoff this week after being the show’s weakest point).
I like getting little updates every week of the storylines we’re not actively following as the centerpiece of the episode, because I think it keeps the show fresh. After the focus of last week, it’s a nice return to what’s comfortable and traditional for the show. I’ve read some complaints about how the show paces its storylines doling them out in bits and bites per week, and that style of storytelling returns this week. She’s going to be good for that character, and I look forward to the spear woman picking up her weapon and defending her little Lords in the future (and you know she’ll have to if Brienne can’t even walk Jaime Lannister a few feet away from the river to cut down some dead hookers). Osha has become a great character, and Ygritte’s interactions with Jon Snow have made Snow and the Night’s Watch story lines more interesting by far. The Northmen, as a group, are growing on me. Speaking of North of the Wall, Jon Snow is still marching to meet the King North Of The Wall Mance Rayder.
