'When it’s over, you don’t feel like you just watched something so much as you just had an experience.' chaneyj on Euphoria's “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird” episode

Photo: HBO Euphoria, the HBO drama about teens in the throes of anguish and addiction, is a deliberately provocative series that has sparked strong reactions since its 2019 premiere.

In keeping with Euphoria tradition, this 54-minute piece of television is doing the absolute most. But it is doing the absolute most while mostly staying in one lane. The approach mirrors the one-off specials that dropped at the end of 2020 and in early 2021, which also succeeded by stripping away some of the flashier Euphoria elements to create episodes that were exacting, intimate, and allowed the actors to submerge in their characters’ rough waters.

This happens again when Rue goes to Lexi and Cassie’s house, sneaks into their mom’s bedroom, and snags a pair of earrings. As Rue reemerges into the hallway, we only see her back at first, then the camera reveals to us what Rue has just seen: her mother in the foyer, attempting to gather Rue and get her help.

Only when Rue eventually gets to Laurie’s does she find a peaceful environment, which is ironic since that house is probably the most dangerous place she can be, and I am including standing in the middle of the street while cars swerve to avoid hitting her. The whole sequence at Laurie’s house captures that dichotomy. Laurie, as played by Martha Kelly with a perfect, impossible-to-read deadpan, tells Rue that she is not mad that Rue hasn’t come up with all the money she owes her.
