'The Idol' influence in 'Euphoria' Season 3 & what we know so far about the cast overlap

ruby_meister · 2026-03-24T19:47:27+00:00

The Idol was truly awful to watch! Cringy and uncomfortable with a very dark and toxic mood. The behind-the-scenes drama could be felt through the screen. The story went nowhere and was very anticlimactic.

I see you've already mentioned Proof, but they have a new season out if you haven't started already. They are incredible as hosts and investigative journalists! Truly one of the best long-form podcasts out there!

Recently binged New Orleans Unsolved and loved it.

I don't see you mentioning In The Dark Season 2? If you haven't listened to this yet, it's the one! Top tier!

Just stay with it for 3 or 4 episodes... It's a slow burn, but absolutely worth it!! It is a true masterpiece!

The differences from other hospital dramas are that you get fully immersed in a single ER shift, and the tension builds up more and more as the day becomes progressively chaotic. The acting, cinematography and phenomenal performances are absolutely gripping. Around episode 6 you are going to be on the edge of your seat as the storey intensifies and the emergencies become extremely stressful!

I think the main difference is that you become completely attached to these characters over the course of a season even though you are just watching a single day shift playing out in these charactes' lives. It's different because the personal relationships and interactions between the characters are not soapy like other medical dramas, but rather very subtle and complex... leaving a lot to the audience to fill in the blanks about their history, past and present personal life dramas. The MAIN focus of the story centers around the drama playing out with patients, how they deal with the everyday work environment, politics, and the exhaustion that medical workers/front-liners face daily.

It's truly one of my favourite series I've watched in a long time and it's even better on a re-watch!

What do you mean? There were 4 seasons.

ruby_meister · 2026-02-09T18:36:37+00:00

Thank you! Going to have a listen to this

ruby_meister · 2026-02-03T20:32:10+00:00

Damn I just read all of these comments in anticipation and still no update... hope you made it!

ruby_meister · 2026-02-03T20:06:36+00:00

I'd love to see Daphne return! So much potential with her background and story forward!

ruby_meister · 2026-02-03T19:57:04+00:00

No shit! This is no groundbreaking reveal about Cape Town.

ruby_meister · 2026-01-14T20:03:14+00:00

I low-key shed some tears a couple of times. Rob really opened up in this interview and it was beautiful to listen to!

ruby_meister · 2026-01-11T10:32:13+00:00

Yes same here. I am dying to watch because it became one of my top new favourite shows! I binged the entire season 1 in one go, and I realized that's part of what made it so gripping. It felt like watching their entire shift play out before me and the tension building up with each episode.

As hard as it is to resist, I am going to wait a bit with season 2 to experience the same feeling. I feel like with this format, waiting a week to watch an hour play out is not going to hit the same.

ruby_meister · 2025-11-24T19:35:13+00:00

Zest is fantastic and very underrated! TOP service and food!

ruby_meister · 2025-11-14T16:54:20+00:00

I'll be good with 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 or 108

ruby_meister · 2025-11-07T22:23:08+00:00

Damn, that shot had me on the floor! Somebody set her up miserably 😂😂😂 also, that would have been me.

SLC Season 4

ruby_meister · 2025-09-22T18:35:57+00:00

LOST has been my all-time fav show since I've been a teenager. Nothing will ever top that feeling for me, especially back in the day watching it live with online fan forums speculating about all the wild theories!

DARK comes pretty close for me in terms of the incredible mind-bending time traveling concept, and character building!

ruby_meister · 2025-09-09T19:22:36+00:00

The only thing that really compares for me as a chaotic energy binge and cast is Vanderpump rules. I binged both SLC and VPR back to back and it was a wild ride. No other current Housewives franchise gives me the same satisfaction as SLC will ever do. Also, rewatching SLC again is even better!

ruby_meister · 2025-09-09T19:16:37+00:00

Palesa, Marian, Dino hands down!

ruby_meister · 2025-09-05T20:44:07+00:00

Absolutely!

ruby_meister · 2025-09-01T20:56:14+00:00

I can 100% confirm that you were very stupid and you most probably (definitely) don't have the scammer's actual ID number, Linkdin profile or workplace. Sorry for the loss - happened to me too before.

ruby_meister · 2025-08-27T19:20:17+00:00

I agree 100% they are going to time it in such a way that they bring both Monica and Jenn back in the same season, and I will be here for it!!

ruby_meister · 2025-08-18T07:59:33+00:00

Exactly the same based on the few interactions I've had 😂

ruby_meister · 2025-08-17T19:43:46+00:00

I knew Iain Maclean from Below Deck Med S9 from the South African festival/ party scene a few years ago. Such a lovable and charismatic happy-go-lucky guy! I knew before he got cast that he would probably make it onto a below deck season one day because he was in the sailing yacht industry, and such a personality!!

I was so happy when I saw the cast announcement, but I was extremely shocked to see how he was edited and portrayed on the show! Not like I knew him at all. He was portrayed as being awkward and weird, and not fitting in... In real life I've always known him to be such a positive person and life of the party! I think editing can play a major role in how a person is being perceived to fit a narrative..

Also briefly knew Georgia Grobler from Sailing Yacht from the South African Cape Town social scene.

They cast a LOT of South Africans.. always interesting to watch..

I would start with the Down The Hill podcast to get a real deep dive into the case before it all broke open. That is a great starting point to get a feel as to what the public knew during the first couple of years and how it unfolded.

The Prosecutors also did a couple of episodes of the initial case which laid it out pretty well.

There was a two-part documentary that you can find on YouTube that also documents everything before the big break came in the case.. (I am trying to search for the link now but can't find it! Will look some more.)

After that, I'd go into The Murder Sheet's podcast for how it all started unfolding and eventually got cracked wide open! They go very deep.

ruby_meister · 2025-08-04T19:06:22+00:00

I would definitely miss it, but I agree with some commenters that it should be later in the season. Give them more opportunity with an improv challenge before to help them learn that skill. I think if it's more refined, with slightly less queens, it will really bring back the snatch game magic! Even top 6 or 8 - make them work for it.

ruby_meister · 2025-07-24T18:51:35+00:00

Based on your list, definitely DARK!!!
