Wow, I love this so so much! My jaw literally dropped when I read that they they felt the show had “too much” of a female perspective when it literally has a female lead... it’s so sad that women’s stories (that are actually from their perspective) continue to be put aside in favor of capitalizing off them and their suffering.

Truly appreciate your commentary on this! Everything you explained is exactly why I’ve been unable to bring myself to watch Euphoria no matter how much I’m told to watch it. Thanks for sharing!

The ripple effect I fear the most is the further glamorization of mental illness in young girls as an aesthetic (i.e. “in my fleabag era”) instead of extending compassion to the people this show is clearly taking inspiration from and re-examining the damage that’s been made.
