What do you think? Did you watch the special episode of Euphoria on Sunday night? Will you watch the next episode in January?
I am a huge fan of the show, and loved Season 1. I watched the special 12/6/20 episode and did not care for it. It was talk, talk, talk, no action at all. I understand it had to be made under covid-19 constraints, but that was no consolation. After a while, I just could not wait for it to end. The dialogue was repetitious. Bottom line, it just did not work for me.
