On the geek side of things, I write about comics, cartoons, video games, television, movies and basically, all things nerdy. It was boring so I decided to write about things I love. KEEP READING: Yellowstone Season 4 Finale Recap: 'Grass on the Streets and Weeds on the Rooftops' But with Rue and Jules, the show usually adopted a slow-burn approach. As such, Euphoria should have waited an episode or two before pulling this trigger to keep fans, who waited two years due to the pandemic delay on production, invested in a couple steeped more in substance than style.Įuphoria airs Sundays on HBO at 9 p.m. This was expected with Cassie and Nate, who hooked up after she aborted McKay's baby, and Maddy and Nate breaking up, as they're all hot-heads. It also scrubbed the differentiation Rue and Jules had from the other teens, making them more impulsive than usual. It undercut the emotional maelstrom from Euphoria Season 1 in a cheesy, throwaway moment that didn't feel earned. It may be she is in love and wants to get over the denial, but this ought to be a slow burn not some flash-in-the-pan at a party where strobing lights and drugs push them back to each other.
Jules also shouldn't have been all in, as she admitted that the last year was a wash and she wanted to reboot. This turn just lacked nuance, as fans wanted them to dissect if Jules could be monogamous or if she'd continue taking advantage of Rue's love, which she admittedly treats like a convenient drug. Rue alone shouldn't be saying sorry when Jules was the one that did most of the harm in their relationship, manipulating Rue, who now understands her own sexual nature.

Jules was also looking for Rue and when they found each other, rather than having a mature discussion, Rue just plopped back into Jules' hands and apologized. They had a spark but Rue quickly left, as she still harbored feelings for Jules. It occurred at a party where Rue took a lot of drugs, only for a new guy, Elliott, to revive her. Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened, which diminished their self-discovery together and made the past drama seem like nothing. Jules cheated on Rue and seemed more into polygamy, hence why their reunion shouldn't have been rushed.

Jules represented chaos while Rue wanted stability, ergo why they seemed to go their separate ways at the train station last season.

Jules wanted to be free and out of control, which was the opposite of what Rue needed. Sadly, their relationship was left on a major cliffhanger due to commitment issues, and while the Season 2 premiere reunited the fan-favorite couple, it was in a pretty underwhelming fashion. It was a pivotal point of Season 1, with Rue trying to get sober and Jules figuring out her path as a transgender teen in a judgemental pocket of their LA-like suburb. One of the most alluring aspects of HBO's Euphoria has been the romance between Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer).
