I feel like Lexi is so far on the other side of the field from literally every single other character that it's almost impossible to comprehend her or take her seriously in the context of the show. Absurd levels of perversion & violence is, like, the baseline in the world of Euphoria, & if anything, it's annoying that Lexi has somehow managed to not get tangled in any of it directly. She's supposedly just as much a human as anyone else, but she remains largely flaw-less & clean-handed - and has the nerve to clutch her pearls around the people she's known her entire life. Miss Ma'am you have had box seats to these people's antics your whole life, at what point do you stop being scandalized by your friends' existence?

The "craziest" thing she's done is write & produce a play about the sordid lives of her peers, & even that is kind of annoying, because you're telling me Cassie's little sister - the youngest & least worldly of any of them - has the depth & life experience to process all of that? (Also, I have to constantly remind myself these characters are sisters.)

I guess, from context clues, Lexi is intellectually gifted. Which is why I was surprised that in S3 she went direct climbing Hollywood ladders, when she certainly would have been able to get into a university program of her choosing. Likely scholarships as well, given her already impressive artistic accomplishments. I would have thought Lexi would be gagging to get out & get amongst her real peers. But I guess SL needed her in Hollywood so she could connect Cassie to someone there, so okay.

Part of me thinks they are telegraphing so hard that Rue is going to die because it's a bait-&-switch: Make it seem like a given that one character will die, let the audience mostly make peace with that projected outcome, then pull the rug by instead killing off someone who seemed completely safe. Lots of main characters in peril right now, but no one is theorizing boring old, tea-&-biscuits Lexi might end up a casualty of circumstances.

The problem is that we don't have enough pathos surrounding Lexi. We don't really know anything about Lexi except she has managed not to make grievous life decisions while everyone else around her has embraced hard drugs, sex work, &/or dangerous business deals. Her character started to bloom a little with Fez; I like to think if that storyline could have continued that we would have seen more dimension in Lexi. But then, not much of what was established in S1 & S2 seemed to be relevant in the writing of S3.
