The directions Sam Levinson goes with this episode, specifically how Rue's addiction gnarls and twists and explodes and depresses her is some of the most true to form and exquisite handling of the disorder I've ever seen. Zendaya buckles down and carries so much of this episode by selling absolute desperation, reckless abandon, utter hatred and every emotion in between. Another Emmy win worthy turn from her that I hope the Television Academy will recognize and reward. She deserves to sweep the SAGs Golden Globes Critics Choice you name it, Euphoria has never been more popular and the community it brings together is something really special; the fact that she can act with such extraordinary force for her age is a wonderful sign of it being only the beginning of an illustrious and successful career. Z is just so talented there's simply nothing else to say.
