Euphoria Christmas

I can’t stop thinking about the EUPHORIA Christmas special, which executes a contained, hour-long conversation about mental health, spirituality, and existentialism that perfectly speaks to the state of the world—despite keeping the focus solely on Rue’s struggles with addiction. Allegories aside, Zendaya and Colman Domingo have snuck into 2020’s best performances of the year with a perfect balance of intensity and vulnerability that proves this show’s worth beyond its exuberant production value, which is stripped down in favor of a disarmingly intimate atmosphere that feels like a play. I can’t wait for Part 2 featuring Hunter Schafer,  but look forward to re-watching this in the interim.
