Mckay is, at best, boring and, at worst, an asshole. However, I think that it’s safe to say that ‘girls supporting girls’ went out the window when cassie betrayed Maddy. It definately made me uncomfortable how willing we as an audience were to hate on cassie this season. Letting her insecurity destroy the positive relationships in her life is pathetic and hard to watch. However, regardless of how men have treated her, she has no excuse for her disloyalty. I understand that her character as a young woman who is over-sexualised and ties her appearance to her worth is an important and honest story to tell. There were warning signs of her issues from very early on, and I also just kind of find her boring. I’ve never been the biggest fan of Cassie in all honesty, I’ve found her whiney since the first season. His mother said that he was worse than Cal, but I disagree. He’s done some unforgivable things, but I have also had moments where I felt sorry for him. However, he has had small moments of kindness here and there, and I mostly blame Cal for his son’s issues. His sexuality is beside the point because, just like his father, he treats the women in his life is unforgivable. Nate’s character is first and foremost plagued with toxic masculinity. Plus, he’s primarily responsible for how Nate turned out, so that’s double the trash energy. Frankly, I just dont think that being self-closeted is a good enough excuse to be as horrendous as he is. Except he resents his life his family, and he does horrible things because of it. That wouldn’t necessarily be a problem on its own. Putting symbolic value aside, though, I hate this man.Ĭal Jacobs is gay and has hidden his true self his whole life, if you need a reminder. If there’s any lesson in the show, somebody’s trauma doesn’t necessarily excuse their behaviour. But The characters are given backstories that explain their flaws. The motif with every character in this show is that they’re flawed. If you disagree, you’re wrong, but I’d love to hear your argument. This is the only correct answer for the job.
I am starting off with my least favourite character. Euphoria Characters – Worst to Best Cal Jacobs As Cal Jacob’s said, “I am who I am,” and who I am is, first and foremost, an opinion-haver. Apologies if you were after a particularly insightful analysis. But overall, I think what makes this show as precious as it is, is the characters. I loved this show initially because it was one of the very few pieces of media that I saw which gave queer characters a better linage than the typical ‘coming out’ narrative. The cast was also a significant factor, as were the queer storylines. The soundtrack, the colour scheme, the cinematography and the costuming/fashion work. I fell in love with Euphoria because of its visual appeal, first and foremost.
Today I will be ranking the characters from least to most favourite. There are more than enough articles available that criticise the show based on its themes and details, so I won’t judge that alone. So, in defence of the show, I’m not going to summarise the storyline. It shares some similarities with Riverdale. I ended up waiting entirely too long for a second season, so I can’t imagine what it was like for first-day fans.Įvery time I try to explain what Euphoria is about, it sounds lame. The show’s first season was released in June of 2019, and admittedly, I didn’t end up watching it until about a year later, just after the pandemic scared me inside. However, on the off chance that you’ve managed to avoid unwanted spoilers so far… you might want to stop reading here. If you haven’t been peer-pressured into watching it yet, or been indoctrinated by TikTok fan theories, you’re stronger than I. If you have not somehow become aware of HBO’s Euphoria in the last few weeks, you don’t get out enough.
