Euphoria: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Shirley Li The Atlantic Euphoria has become an aimless show -- even though it remains a hypnotizing one. In the disarray of Season 2, the series’ sense of nihilism is magnified. Mar 4, 2022 Full Review Euphoria: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Naomi Fry New Yorker The show’s power to seduce and alarm also stems from its presentation of a teen life almost completely lacking in adult oversight. Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Euphoria: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The new episodes still pinball between the bombastic and the solemn, between understanding and exploitation, and that is its uncompromising identity. Jan 19, 2022 Full Review Euphoria: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio It still is visually incredible, and its overall acting makes the show go places few reach. But we can feel the story dragging in ways season 1 did not. Modern addiction through all its lenses. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Euphoria: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Katherine Singh Refinery29 As a viewer, I’m personally exhausted by Euphoria. Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Euphoria: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) You never know where you're gonna end up when you ride Euphoria's emotional rollercoaster, but at least you know that you won't be bored.

Biscali O Lacking in plot and substance and completely unengaging Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review yeet m Another cringe high school drama Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Gabriel O Amazing and sad what a great ending Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Tanzila T The second season was excellent in my opinion but still not good compared to season 1. Wasted Plot lines and some characters lost development. Also, the cinematics in the first season was better. However, the portrayal of drug addiction was raw and the acting was over the top. It was heartfelt and comedic at the same time. 9.4/10 Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Valerii Ege D This season has managed to piss me off. But of course, it's a success. The absence, trouble, and worry the American youth suffers in wealth drive me crazy—still a great series. But one more season should go on and end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Fetti Dramatic, visually staggering, mature and excellent series, thanks to a talented cast, well-written characters and a relatable, entertaining narrative.
