I really don't get all the bad reviews. Lily-Rose Depp is excellent and the supporting cast did a great job at building a believable narrative.

So there is nakedness, and a questionable sexual narrative based on a largely consensual relationship. And yes I do realise that consent cannot always be definied in a simple way . Euphoria had nudity, non-consensual sex, and rape so I'm not clear why Euphoria gets a pass by many reviewers and this doesn't. To my mind both shows are brilliant but different. However, both test many of assumptions, and both are better than 90% of the dross that passes for entertainment on most of the streaming platforms.

This story is compelling and has a ring of authenticity to me. I found the story compelling, the cinematography brilliant, the music first class, and the script and the acting (including The Weeknd) was very good. There were several long discussions about the nature of art and the role of the internet and fandom which were thought provoking - notably in episodes 3 and 4.

It is clear that there are those who have a very negative view of this show and those who love it. I suspect this is just another example of the polarisation we have come to expect. Such a shame.

My advice is to watch it yourself and make your own mind up but do try to read between the lines. I have watched it 3 times and there are clear signs in the early episodes of an alternate narrative to the more obvious exploitative story which seems to have been seen by many.
