Euphoria Season 3 is Christian Propaganda | Review

追加: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]And I think the show did a fantastic job at doing that and showing that. I don't think I could actually talk about this.

[00:00:08]All right, got to get through this.

[00:00:09]>> [laughter] >> I need to take a second. Hold on.

[00:00:16]Hi everybody. Welcome back to my channel. So, I just barely finished watching Euphoria season 3 and it was kind of a lot. I know a lot of people have been talking about how much it was. It was kind of all over the place and all the reviews that I have seen are also kind of all over the place, not even going to lie. I feel like my review is even going to be all over the place. There are so many aspects of this show that are just downright atrocious and horrible and really bad. And then there are some parts of this show that are super good, too. So, I'm leaning towards not liking it. Like, yes, I was very entertained through some of it. Most episodes had me entertained or like had aspects of it that made me entertained. Also, I've just I have some big issues with it.

[00:01:05]Let's just start with what I thought of the finale cuz that's what just came out. I don't think that this is going to be like a very intelligent breakdown.

[00:01:13]Well, maybe when we get to the religious stuff, it might be. I know there's a bunch of channels that have like really broken down each and every single episode and have talked about like why it is really good stylistically or why it's really bad with like the messaging and stuff behind it. That's not going to be this video. Okay, this is going to be my just kind of initial thoughts on this show and not necessarily like a real intelligent breakdown. This is just kind of initial thoughts. Why I why I was entertained, why I was not entertained.

[00:01:45]That kind of stuff, okay? If you want something more thought-provoking and like important in like the message sphere, maybe go to a uh different different video. All right, there's going to be huge spoilers in this, by the way.

[00:02:03]If I didn't say that.

[00:02:08]If I didn't say that before, there's going to be very big spoilers ahead. So, I know everybody hated the music of this show, and I didn't really like care for the music up until this final episode. I was like, "Okay, I can actually see like the vibe that they were going for and probably the vibe they were going for the entire time." The music is supposed to have this like old Hollywood feel, and it's supposed to be something that you have heard before if you like these old Hollywood films and like westerns and all that kind of stuff. So, I think they did a really good job with the music. And now that the whole show is over, I can definitely see that season 3 is not supposed to be an extent of season 1 and 2. It's kind of like it's own show. Yeah, the characters are the same and like Rue getting up to no good is kind of the same. There are similar themes and stuff, but it it really is its own show and its own entity apart from season 1 and 2. With this one, I related a little bit more to them cuz they're obviously older. I was still very like in no world would any of these things ever happen, right? And it was very far-fetched other than like the the drug stuff, I guess. Like, I don't even know where I was going with that. Oh, okay. It's just like its own thing and it's its own like entity, right? So, you can't really compare it to season 1 and 2 because it's just completely different. It's a completely different show. And I also thought in this finale and throughout the entire show that the acting was so good. Like, the acting was phenomenal. Even I know she's controversial, um but even Sydney Sweeney did a really, really good job.

[00:03:48]Girl, what are you doing, Sydney Sweeney? That was like embarrassing a lot of the things that she did, but her acting was very good. Maddie's acting was very good. Maude Apatow, she did a really good job. And of course Zendaya did a phenomenal job. Um, but even like the side characters, I think that they were really great, too. The lady that plays Laurie is absolutely hilarious.

[00:04:08]Like her dry talking and stuff. The DEA thing was really cool. I didn't see the twist coming. I didn't see them like changing out the van. Uh, I don't know how they would have done that in such a short amount of time.

[00:04:21]But like logistic wise, like who gives a [ __ ] Like it was pretty entertaining.

[00:04:25]It was pretty fun. It sucks, right?

[00:04:27]Because like the fentanyl is now in the country and the the DEA didn't didn't get their their hit like they thought they were. And I think the drug aspect of it is also kind of all over the place. Like there are some aspects of it that I'm like, "Okay, they did a really good job at showing how evil this is and how evil the people are behind the the drugs and all that kind of stuff." But then they also like glorify drugs in a way. Originally, I didn't like the Fez stuff. I don't really like it when shows will continue a character like being alive when the actor has passed on. I think, um, sometimes if they don't do it right, it makes it seem exploitative of the character and like not as like respectful for the actor. And I was feeling like that through most of it.

[00:05:21]Like every time she had a phone call with Fez and like they carried on that character, I was like, "Ooh, I don't really like this. Like it feels icky, you know? Like they should not have continued on this character." But then obviously in the end of Rue's storyline, it makes sense to have Fez there. And like I I genuinely got emotional because it's not like she is Why am Am getting emotional now? What the heck? Oh my gosh. I'm like still getting What the [ __ ] [laughter] Oh, okay.

[00:05:55]What the hell? I didn't think I was like going to cry like I got pretty I got like teary-eyed from the show, but I wasn't like crying crying. I feel like I'm getting more emotional now like thinking about >> [snorts] >> Okay, plot twist. The show is good. What the [ __ ] I don't think I can actually talk about this.

[00:06:19]I need to take a second. Hold on.

[00:06:21]This isn't that deep. It's like a shitty show, you [laughter] know, like it shouldn't make me feel this emotion emotional.

[00:06:29]I'm trying to like just get my point out without like [ __ ] bawling my eyes out. So, her and Fez like I really genuinely didn't like um the inclusion of Fez, but then having it having it as like Rue's Rue's death scene of her like chasing and trying to find Fez when you know that actor has passed on. I think it was I think it was done beautifully.

[00:06:56]>> [snorts] >> And I don't know if I can talk about it anymore.

[00:07:00]The fentanyl conversation is very important and I think like yeah, it would have been been nice to see like Rue's funeral or like her friends like Maddy and Jules specifically like showing their grief, but I think what what we got was I think it was very very good and and her death scene was obviously very beautiful. The fentanyl conversation is the most important thing that this show has actually done and the I think the best thing that this show has honestly done. There are other things afterwards that I genuinely did not like and we can get into that I guess cuz I'm like sniffing and crying.

[00:07:38]I have a lot of problems with what ended up happening after Rue's death. I think they like could have They could have built an entire show off of Rue's death, honestly. Like the the entire beginning half of the episode was so good and it made me feel like I I could almost forgive some of the stuff that happened earlier. And then the second half happened.

[00:08:01]The second half happened and I was like, "Oh, actually, never mind. This is still a really shitty TV show and it's like really dumb." I feel like they just they did this beautiful death scene for Rue.

[00:08:14]I did like Ali's justice for Rue. The whole like Alamo Ali standoff thing I think was like really cool. Ali's entire storyline in this was actually really good. Hunter Schafer or Jules' storyline was the dumbest storyline in the entire thing. Like even dumber than Cassie's storyline. I feel like her just going back to being a sugar baby was just so regressive for her character. A lot of people have already talked about this, so I don't really want to dillydally on it, but these are just like my initial thoughts.

[00:08:45]Like having her have this grieving moment of her painting and then you see her sugar daddy in the shot. I was just like, "This is so stupid." Why couldn't they have just given us a moment with her and like her easel and just her painting and like her grieving Rue and not reminding us that she's a sugar baby. Like I don't know. It was just so stupid and I wish they would have like cut him out. It just ruined her storyline even more. We were all emotional and in our feels and Hunter Schafer did an amazing job at portraying this grief and like this like back and forth of like getting a job done and painting and like putting your emotions onto like into art and onto like a canvas and stuff. Her dumb [ __ ] sugar daddy boyfriend was there. It was just so I don't know. It was so stupid. It just seemed so misplaced to have Cassie's storyline right after Rue's storyline. Cassie is so dumb and Cassie is like this narcissistic sociopath type character, doesn't care about Rue. It showed how callous people can be and how like people don't actually see the truth and don't actually care about like the addiction side of things and like the true like harm. I'm not saying that Rue was necessarily an amazing person. I think she has like a lot of faults.

[00:10:04]She's done like a lot of horrible things, but you can see throughout the entire show that she was trying to change her life and then having Cassie be just like, "Well, she was a drug addict." and like kind of discount of just crediting every progress that Rue had made. Cassie only seeing this one negative aspect about Rue and like not caring about her dying and not caring about Lexi's grief. That was actually pretty good and it showed how people in real life are like if you don't I think this is why I get really emotional with it because I I think a lot of us are affected by people that had done drugs or who are still doing drugs and seeing how they are so much more than their drug and so much more than their addiction and like seeing like the true human behind it. And then if they do pass away, I feel like as somebody that like knows them as like a true person, you have to constantly be defending them even even after they pass away, especially if they pass away from things like drugs or like an overdose, laced fentanyl and all that kind of stuff. When they do pass away in that way, you have to like continue defending them as like a human being because there are so many people like Cassie that only see them as like the addict and only see them as like this problem when they're so much more. And I think the show did an a fantastic job at doing that and showing that.

[00:11:40]I'm going to stop crying because this is [ __ ] ridiculous.

[00:11:44]Um but I think the the Bible stuff was so annoying. And I think we can get into all of the Bible stuff now because as somebody who's not a Christian and somebody who has actually left, it's kind of debatable if it's a religion or not. Um some people say it's a cult. I guess I could talk about that later, but I like escaped a very fundamental and like strict and like cult-like religion. So the Bible stuff was very annoying for me and I think Lexi's being at the beginning like this like, "Well, I can't be friends with you if you're going to be a Christian." to then her liking the Bible so much, twisting the Bible into being something that's like, "Oh, it's actually really cool. It's full of like death and like love and like all this stuff like her trying to paint the Bible as like this new modern story. I feel like that was just so weird and that got me onto this whole idea being that the show was actually just Christian propaganda.

[00:12:45]Aside from all of Rue's story and aside from not necessarily all of Rue's story cuz she likes all the burning bush and stuff. So I think she was the catalyst for this Christian propaganda. But aside from like the fentanyl conversation and her like OD'ing and like her dying, I hated the show because of the Christian propaganda. They made Christianity so strong and I kept going back and forth like, "Well, was it religion or was it Christianity?" Actually looking into like all this stuff and like really thinking about it, it was for sure Christian and Christian propaganda.

[00:13:18]Obviously throughout the whole thing a lot of addicts when they are trying to get clean, they find religion. You know, you have Ali as this character who found Islam and he became a Muslim, right?

[00:13:29]That was really good at the beginning when they showed him like it doesn't have to be Christianity, it could just be like any religion and a lot of addicts just choose or not choose, but they'll find one religion that they really connect with and that's the religion that really helps them get out of their addiction. And Rue chose Christianity and she chose to read the Bible. So like that was her her whole thing, but then I realized after Ali had left his religion and then that ending scene with him with the Christian family, it was for sure Christian prop- propaganda and it stopped becoming just like broad religion with addiction and it became like full-on Christianity. Ali had this faith crisis and instead of him just continuing on having this faith crisis, he pretty much converts to Christianity.

[00:14:20]Like he drops his Muslim name and he becomes pretty much Christian, right? I think that's what the messaging at the very end was with him with this like Christian family in the Jerusalem, Texas or whatever. He was able to see Rue again because of Christianity. It just felt so propaganda-y. Like why couldn't he have stayed a Muslim or why couldn't he have had a faith crisis and just stayed out of the faith crisis? I think it was a very I think it was very tactical and I I think it was very specific of him leaving Islam and moving towards Christianity after Rue died. I think that was purposeful and I think they did that obviously like on purpose because I think it's Christian propaganda. And I then started going into like this whole deep dive of like do all of the characters have this underlying Christian propaganda narrative? And I think like most of them do. Maybe Jules doesn't. I think Jules there was probably an I like I have said an underlying current of like issues.

[00:15:25]Actually, I don't know if I said this. I think there was an underlying issue between the creator of the show and Hunter Schafer because she seemed like she was like exed out of the show and like got this like horrible storyline.

[00:15:41]Maybe Hunter Schafer was like advocating for herself and was like I don't want to do some of this stuff, so they just like cut out her scenes. I don't know. Her whole storyline just seemed like not a part of the show, but like they had to have her in because everybody likes Jules and everybody likes Hunter Schafer. So, Jules aside, I feel like most of the characters have this like weird Christian like narrative in them.

[00:16:02]Like specifically with Cassie's storyline. At first I was like, "Okay, Cassie maybe not because obviously she's like doing OnlyFans and she's like a sex worker and stuff. So, maybe that doesn't have anything to do with Christianity."

[00:16:15]But then I was thinking like if we do go into this lens of like Christian propaganda, she is for sure supposed to be like this Jezebel type character and this like worldly character and maybe even like the seven deadly sins type character. She's very prideful, right?

[00:16:32]She's very greedy. She lusts after fame and fortune. She's very envious of other people. She's also like a glutton for like money and for fame. So, she's kind of like all of these bad things in the world and she's like supposed to be like this worst type character or like this most worldly type character and that's why she gets this like horrible ending. She's completely alone.

[00:16:56]She has no friends. She has nobody that really loves her and she lost her husband. She is completely alone in the world because she is the world. She is like this really extreme version of like what worldly possessions can do to you and I think that's a very Christian type belief and like a very I don't know, it's just it just seems so propaganda-y.

[00:17:22]And then when you look at Maddy's character, I think for sure Maddy is supposed to be somebody that falls into sin because she starts being attracted to this worldly type character who is supposed to be Cassie. Honestly, she like works her way up, she gets a good job, like sure it's unrealistic, like that would never happen in real life, but she gets this really good job and she is able to secure this position and do what she wants and mm sort of does what she wants, then she falls into like the grip of the world or like the grip of Cassie's character who is this like really overtly worldly character and like this sinful character. Maddy then keeps falling and falling until she is literally in the hands of the devil of like Alamo who is supposed to be like the devil in this thing. She doesn't get out until she is saved by Ali who I think is supposed to represent like the savior. And that is why I just think it's such like religious propaganda because if you look at each and every single one of the characters aside from Jules, they are rooted in this like Christian like belief and ideology. With Lexi, again, she is this person who like rejects religion and is very judgmental towards Rue and Rue decides she wants to read the Bible and wants be a Christian.

[00:18:46]And I think like they played that really well in the beginning of her being like, well, I can't be friends with a Christian because they're judgmental even though she's the one like judging, right? She's judging Rue. It was showing like the double standard that people have with religion and I think they did a really good job with that. But then they twisted her into being like, but then I read the Bible and it was so good. I don't think I can help you, Cassie, and I don't think I can like be in your world, Cassie, because you are this like Jezebel-type character, this thing that is supposed to like turn me into evil, and I need to be away from that. And like, her finding the Bible and her finding religion is the thing that like saves her. It just seems so propaganda. Like, how is this not Christian propaganda being like, "If you read the Bible, you're going to be saved." Like Like Lexi has a good storyline and a good arc because she reads the Bible and because she escapes these worldly things. The thing that represents the worldly thing, like her sister, this like Sodom and Gomorrah-type stuff. Like, dead ass Okay, you know what? I just barely thought of that from the dome. I think Cassie is supposed to represent this like Sodom and Gomorrah-type life, right? And like, she is all into sex and all into money and all into like these like sinful things, and she is living in this world where she goes to these parties and does these horrible things at these parties and does horrible things to these people because she represents this like Sodom and Gomorrah-type arc. The only people that have a good storyline outside of her are the people that escape her bubble. And Maddy falls into the bubble, she falls into the Sodom and Gomorrah-type arc, and therefore she has like this bad storyline and she falls into sin and she falls into the devil's hand. Like, how is this not Christian propaganda?

[00:20:38]And then, with like the whole Ali situation, like, that is just proof right there that it's more about Christianity and it's more about trying to get people into Christianity and like showing that Christianity is like the peak thing because he leaves Islam and he starts becoming a Christian. Like, how is that not the most blatant form of propaganda that we could ever see? I don't know. I It just made me not like it anymore. And like I think if they just kept with this theme of like fentanyl being the issue and all this like drug trafficking being an issue, it could have been an amazing finale, and it could have been this beautiful thing that we all keep talking about forever and ever and ever and not have a lot of negative connotations with it, but then it just And maybe if you're a Christian, you found it even better, and you were like, "Oh, see, this is what happens."

[00:21:36]If you're a Christian, I don't know. And I'm not trying to dog on Christianity, okay? I I have a lot of friends that are Christian. My family is still Christian.

[00:21:45]And so, I'm not saying that Christians are a problem. I think that the religion in in America, like with megachurches and stuff and like evangelical type televangelist type religions are very problematic. And I think that this show is like leading towards like the more problematic side. It's not doing what it is trying to do. Like it just seems so much more like not the show that we really signed up for, you know? I I don't know if that's making any sense, and I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of comments about it. I mean, overall, it was entertaining. Like don't get me wrong. I had a fun time watching the show. I thought a lot of it was very ridiculous. I think a lot of the messaging other than the drug stuff was very regressive. And I think like having Maddy sell herself to basically the devil to save this like Jezebel type Sodom and Gomorrah Cassie character was just really dumb, and I thought Jules being a sugar baby again was really dumb. In the end, I think they closed out Rue's storyline with like some a really, really important message.

[00:22:56]And then they just dogged on it. They just like [ __ ] on it so bad with the over Christian narrative of it all. They could have just kept it spiritual and they could have kept it like beauty and God in any religion. It doesn't have to be a Christian type religion. And then they just like fell too far into the Christian side of it that it like made me really annoyed with it. I don't know.

[00:23:20]It was just like the why of the show seemed just too much like Christian propaganda to me. And I don't know. I'm like just kind of talking in circles now, so you're going to have to tell me what you think. Did you get that same feeling of it being just this religious and like Christian type like join Christianity and you'll be saved type thing or do you think that it was something different? I don't know. Do you like the show? Do you think that the show was stupid? I don't know.

[00:23:50]>> [laughter] >> I don't know. You're going to have to let me know because I don't This whole video is kind of all over the place, which if you're new here, what's This is kind of how I just how I am. I try to like structure my videos in a way that is not so ranty and rambly and then the ADHD gets the best of me and I end up just becoming uh somebody that rambles and talks and cries and all that kind of stuff.

[00:24:17]Actually, this is the very first time I've cried, but if you can't tell, I definitely have ADHD.

[00:24:23]Now you do. Unmedicated ADHD, by the way. Let me know what you think. Let me know if you think my points are just stupid and whatever.

[00:24:32]That's it. I got to go.

[00:24:34]This video has gone on for way too long.

[00:24:37]So, I'll see you later.

[00:24:38]Bye.
