Stand Still Like the Hummingbird

Episode 5 is all about Zendaya and she's going to sweep the awards in 2022-23. The entire cast is so good. But Zendaya is outstanding, and she portrays an addict who in a very agonizing way shows how self-destructive and demonizing drugs truly are.

Now and again, but very rarely, does somebody appear on the stage or screen that has something very very special. These people are not just at the top of their game, they exceed the top and shine brighter than all the rest. This very small group of people falls into the category of Legends and sometimes decades will past before another falls effortlessly into this exclusive club, the number of which can be counted on the fingers of one's hands. These people are born to do what they do, their talents cannot be taught or learnt, they just are.

Zendaya is one of these people.

An absolutely nail-biting and cringe-inducing watch from start to finish. Zendaya certainly sealed the deal on her next emmy. By far my favorite episode of the show, and honestly one of my favorite episodes of television ever.

Zendaya giving another emmy worthy performance and the rest of the cast were good too!!

This episode got me at the edge of my seat from beginning to end.

Euphoria has never been better; this was emotional, devastating, intense, and absolutely enthralling. The opening 20 minutes were just incredible, so emotionally raw and real that I quickly found myself heartbroken and sad, but also scared. I was hooked right from the start and this episode never lost my attention. Zendaya's performance throughout this entire piece is nothing short of perfection, she sells every single moment in a believable and authentic way. I hope this episode brings her another Emmy nomination and possibly a win, as she deserves to be recognized for her fantastic work. I love when Euphoria can connect with me on an emotional level as much as this one did, which is why it stands out to me as a strong contender for the best episode of the show. Spectacular, this one is everything that I love about Euphoria.
