Euphoria's Ending Is Flawed, But Doesn't Ruin The Show - What It All Means
After a controversial eight-episode run, Euphoria season 2 has come to a close. The HBO teen drama created by Sam Levinson has experienced wild success in its sophomore outing, more than doubling its viewership over season 1, which first aired in 2019.

Euphoria season 2 proved to be quite the divisive season of television, though, with both rumored behind-the-scenes drama and a story that confused audiences.
Euphoria season 2 picks up with the East Highland high schoolers at the dawn of the New Year. Zendaya's character Rue has relapsed and she and Jules are estranged. While the characters come together briefly for a New Year's Eve party, they spend the majority of the rest of the season separated as they worked through their own various issues. This came at the expense of several major players, with Euphoria season 2 giving barely any screentime to Kat (Barbie Ferrera), Jules (Hunter Schafer), or Elliot (Dominic Fike), a new character introduced to viewers in episode 1.
