## Resource

When Sam Levinson's vibey, drug-inflected high school show Euphoria premiered in 2019, it took the Internet by storm and quickly became the most-watched show on HBO Max — and most-memed show on social media — despite mixed reviews. But in the four years since the show's second season, rumors of off-screen chaos, as well as confirmed exits from cast and creatives, have made fans nervous. So, how does the long-awaited Season 3 hold up to expectations? Rebecca and John are joined by VF Senior Staff Writer Max Adler to discuss the high highs and weird lows.
