RELATED: 'Euphoria' Season 2 Ending Explainedīoth Rue and Jules are compelling characters on their own, with storylines that deserve individual exploration, which Season 2 definitely delivers where Rue is concerned. His flippant and reductive attitude towards Jules’s gender expression are played for laughs, and the promise of Jules actually getting to continue to reflect on her expression of femininity is squandered in favor of more relationship drama within the love triangle. Elliott exists to do everything he can to get between Rue and Jules. Instead, Jules becomes part of a storyline that gives more time to Elliott ( Dominic Fike) and his SoundCloud advertisement than Jules herself, a character fans had come to know and love. Scenes featuring either of the two often came across as afterthoughts, and many felt that more could have been done with their journeys of figuring out for themselves things like: gender expression, romance, body image, and sexuality. While the narrative often focused on the messy love triangle, or the more compelling aspects of Lexi and Rue’s personal journeys, characters like Jules ( Hunter Schafer) and Kat ( Barbie Ferreira) unfortunately got more or less pushed to the side. Her relationship with Fezco ( Angus Cloud), as well as a glimpse into his backstory, were both some of the more compelling parts of the season as well.
Even Lexi ( Maude Apatow) finally got a chance to shine, as her bystander status was utilized in her writing a play about her experience of high school. Zendaya gave a performance that has many sure she’ll be picking up another Emmy for her work this season. The other side of Season 2’s narrative focused heavily on Rue’s ongoing struggle with addiction, and provided the high points of the season overall.
