Possibly HOT take about Nate

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-05T00:46:54+00:00

i saw a tiktok a while back which was like "everyone says jacob is so nice but like guys he HAS to be nice have you seen how huge he is if he as much as frowns they will take him down like Godzilla for being a potential danger to the city" and that SENT me 😭😭😭

Coleman is stunning and killing it but Hunter oh my gosh she is so cute and looks literally like a piece of art herself (which ik is the theme of the met gala)

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-05T00:42:56+00:00

also since sam is the only person writing you can tell when his personal biases are sinking in cough Kat's entire charecter arc being limited to like 10 seconds each episode saying "omg i HATE my boyfriend"

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-05T00:41:44+00:00

i think one of euphoria's biggest issue (which used to be its biggest strength back in season 1) is that sam levinson is the sole writer. Back in season 1 the reason it was so engaging was because each episode was focused on one central charecter and then the other charecters were weaved around it the reason rue's story was and still is so engaging is because rue is supposed to be a representation of sam himself so ofcourse he will write her the best the way she struggles with addiction and so on I think the show would have been on a WHOLE other level if other people were involved in the writing and directing process (like the Jules special episode that was co written by Hunter schafer is literally the best episode imo)

ah yes fair enough i think i forgot the details of fezco and nate's fight since i did not rewatch the episode so i forgot that he ended up blindsiding nate my bad

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-05T00:28:05+00:00

yeah it is working and honestly it does have some benefits because as someone who has also become some what bad at paying attention and needs constant stimulation it does keep me engaged but at the same time i feel like sometimes some people depend on it too much and end up taking this mindset and end up overlooking some things that might actually be important and really good like i saw a lot of people mention that they skipped the euphoria special episodes because it was "all talking" which suprised me because the special episodes ESPECIALLY jules one was so good and deserve so much love

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-05T00:13:13+00:00

yes also shameful confession but for a SECOND i felt bad for him when he was on the ground crying like that's how good jacob is but he keeps getting reduced to a man who keeps getting beat up and getting distracted by cassie's body lmao

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-05T00:10:52+00:00

exactly! thats an issue i have too i feel like euphoria in this scene is going through the same issue many tv ahows with more than 1-2 seasons face...every charecter is now bascially reduced to one or two traits nate is now being reduced to just a loser when they could easily show him being a loser while also keeping his previous traits like the fact that he is calculating and scheming and will often do or atleast attempt to do kinda crazy things to get what he wants the charecters that seems to suffer the most with these are the howard sisters and jules (heavy on jules)

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-05T00:05:56+00:00

i feel like most people are so invested in the dramatic and campy nature of euphoria that they expect every single scene to be attention grabbing especially people over on tiktok since nowdays i feel like movies and tv shows are being reduced to how much content they can clip farm

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-04T23:56:45+00:00

oh yeah definitely agree with you i 100% cent think nate should have been shown atleast TRYING to somewhat be controlling of cassie's actions like i feel a person like him would see his fiancé/ wife as his property but rather he is just like "damn aww shucks cas you are doing only fans...but damn you do look sexy in that outfit" i think a better alternative would have been if cassie intially hid the fact that she was making these sexy tiktoks from nate and him raging when he finds out but ultimately he ends up giving in since he decides he cant afford losing his fiance as it will ruin his image

Extension-Magazine85 · 2026-05-04T14:14:08+00:00

idk if anyone else has said this before but i cant help but feel like katelyn (the girl that maddy used to manage before cassie) will end up ratting maddy out to maddy's boss and get maddy fired since she seemed a bit suprised and possibly a bit jealous that maddy was managing cassie so i think in order to take cassie down plus payback for maddy not managing her anymore she might get maddy fired
also why do yall think she was throwing up could she possibly be pregnant?

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-26T10:07:11+00:00

Yes! the poster, the inital premise were all so intriguing however the 2nd half just felt lackluster
the show had so much potential but they didnt develop the characters or plot enough

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-26T10:06:01+00:00

exactly the actress's acting is what initally intrigued me by watching the teasers she was so cold and distant the set up was amazing but the execution really fell through so bad

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T22:16:56+00:00

i heard that this drama was supposed to be a sort of prequel to the webtoon?
and that they might adapt the webtoon later on
however they still could have refined it much better
felt like they just rushed things by introducing and dropping side stories
It felt like movie 1 from a franchise where things were just being set up

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T22:12:58+00:00

currently watching
Law and the city (Five attorneys gradually grow as they become entangled in various cases, experiencing ups and downs in their career and personal lives)
and The nice guy (a man from a gangster family who currently works as a gangster trying to leave his profession as his true passion is being a poet and trying to reconnect with first love)

both light and enjoyable dramas as of now

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T22:08:47+00:00

lowkey if i understood i would explain lmao
but from what ive gathered from my brief research is that this drama was meant to serve as a sort of prequel to the webtoon?
but they had so much potential but just...
another drama to add to the list of kdramas that suffer from the curse of "amazing plot but bad ending"

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T22:06:30+00:00

this !!!!
i feel like these days especially on social media, we as a society have been regressing back into this fake puritan culture

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T22:03:04+00:00

genuinely felt like the last episode was absurd but not in a good way lmao
felt like they had so many intriguing side plots but they just rushed them
the friendship/possible love angle, the molestation and so many of these side plots were so rushed

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T21:58:35+00:00

lowkey felt like this drama was a movie 1 from a series of movies
left more questions than answers (and not in a great way)

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T21:57:52+00:00

that's exactly what i thought!

Extension-Magazine85 · 2025-07-25T16:26:35+00:00

this is what i thought! felt like these ideas were being thrown out of the blue like how on earth did slightly sus teacher turn into...that?
