![]() Jules happens to live in the suburbs but is new to the neighbourhood, finding solace in her friend Kat whom she texts after trying to find a hook-up with a stranger for the night on her phone. After getting out, Rue then continues to do drugs before we cut out and follow Nate as he drives along, taunting a girl on a bike who happens to be another character we’re following this year called Jules. The summer before Junior year was spent in rehab but she had no intention of staying clean. Narrated by main character Rue Bennet, the show begins with a look at her past life and descent into depression, with an increasing reliance on drugs and alcohol as she reaches her teenage years. HBO’s latest teen-drama Euphoria is an unfiltered, sex and drug fueled look at the lives of several teenagers that both excels and falters in equal doses to deliver an uneven pilot that can’t quite decide who it wants to appeal to or what message it wants to share. With this in mind then, it’s always tricky to watch shows that depict drug addicts, having been through that myself. It was both the best and worst time of my life and after struggling to get clean, looking back I wouldn’t change any of it, given it’s made me who I am today. Anyone who wasn’t involved with the drugs didn’t understand and simply wasn’t worth my time. I felt invincible, like the world couldn’t touch me whilst my life slowly began to descend around me as I devoted my entire life around the next weekend and my next fix. We’d then head up to my friend’s flat, get high and dance the night away. Every weekend I’d hook up with a group of friends, we’d phone our drug dealer, wait for him to arrive on his bike and buy ecstacy and whatever else he had at the time.
