It is so surprising that the man who wrote this show, also wrote The Idol.

[@SoSodawgindahouse]

Right ?! He did such a good job with the characters here. I can’t comprehend how he fumbled so bad in the idol

[@youyeedyourlasthaw]

he sort of fumbled in season 2 with Kat, and the teenaged nudity is weird, but he’s good at pretty camera shots.

[@briana-michelle17]

i have to remind myself multiple times a day that “two things can be true at once. i don’t find it hard to believe that he wrote the idol bc let’s not forget he also added the mckay SA scene and then never really brought it up again. he did that for shock value, he wanted clicks and he got them. he also has an obsession with showing “teen” nudity when it’s not necessary at all. i would literally be like “why is her boobs out rn? what does that add?” multiple times while watching euphoria.

[@アキコ2003]

@@briana-michelle17 what does it unadd? Are them being out unadding anything from the scene? Why is someone waking up her girlfriend while having her b's out bother you? Should she have slept and woken up with a uncomfortable jacket on?

[@アキコ2003]

It's quite simple, he's a very flawed human being that went through many hardships in life and that's completely okay, nobody is perfect. Just like he can create amazing content he can also create bad content which Is normal.

[@siralphey234]

Fun fact: Zendaya and Colman met when she was little; he was doing a play at the theater Zendaya's mom worked for and one day on set she told that story and said that seeing that man was one of the reasons why she decided to try acting but she didn't know it was actually him and he didn't know she was there. So destiny worked its way and they're starred together in a show where their characters are bound in such a powerful way, both won Emmy awards and are now friends for life. And Colman said when he won his Emmy that she was the best actor he has ever shared a scene with in its 25 years career, and when you know that it's because she saw him as a child that she wanted to become an actor in the first place, you can't do nothing else but cry and cheer. Just wow!!!

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Something about Coleman really makes me want to meet him and pick his brain a little 😂 this is awesome 👏 thank you for letting me know! 🙏

[@niyah7139]

If I remember correctly the black woman in the diner is an actual drug addict and they let her guest star on the show because they were moved by her story. 😍🖤

[@7DeadlyBananas]

That’s what I was told recently. Very frickin cool 😎 adds so much authenticity to the whole scene.

[@ZariDV]

Ali is still my fave character on this show, no contest. His actor is so dynamic and charismatic on screen that we can listen to just dialogue for a whole episode and it's still gripping. The written lines were amazing, vulnerable and real and he really made it believable that this character has lived this experience.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

He’s killing it for sure. The role he’s playing is just one of many that send the same kind of message to newcomers and sponsies but this particular character I think was a perfect role for him.

[@-chenlanying5818]

You missed my favourite quote from this ep "trying to be someone i wasn't" ​@@7DeadlyBananas

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealtho]

what i love the most about this episode, is that u dont need to be a drug addict to get hit by it, it's deeper than that, it's about the struggle called life, and its punches.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

💯

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Happy you chimed in 😂 🙌

[@28stabwounds92]

grew up with a bipolar alcoholic as a father. i loved this episode of euphoria. believe in the poetry for sure. it’s how i got out of a self harm addiction that almost took my life.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

One of the best lines, believe in the poetry! TRUTH!!! 🙏

[@hajnalkovacs123]

The actor who played Fezco, Angus Cloud died two days ago. My heart is broken. ♥️

[@QueenShrek]

the song rue was listening to is from moses sumney called me in 20 years and his voice is just angelic I CANT HE IS JUST TOO AMAZING UGH

[@7DeadlyBananas]

I’ll have to look it up! 🙏

[@Ilovetoxicyuri]

Omg this is my favorite episode too! Tysm for the message for people struggling. I’m currently trying to quit nicotine and your videos have helped sm. Tysm!!

[@7DeadlyBananas]

You got this! 🙏

[@calvinkhumalo9780]

This is my favourite episode of the whole series and one of my favourite hours of television ever honestly. Sam truly nailed it with this one.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

💯

[@leahduff9717]

This episode had me crying the whole time as well. Although i dont have experience with drug addiction, i have an eating disorder which completely parallels so much of what is discussed in this episode. The biggest difference, I guess as they say, you cant abstain from food. I cant imagine how horrific a situation it would be to go through something like Rue and yet i relate to so much of it.

[@fiImedeterror]

these special episodes are some of my favorite tv i've ever watched, there's so much heart and truth and life to the words being said on screen it's just incredible...

[@7DeadlyBananas]

💯

[@Ivana-i6v]

I know this one is gonna really hit in the feels i remember the episode making me emotional asfff!! Excited to review this with you :D

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Thank you for joining! 🙏

[@iannaustin7196]

It was such a good episode. I agree. It’s the best episode for season one. As someone who grew up in a household of addiction and violence. It’s was so hard to comprehend why they just didn’t change. Now older. And with my own vices. I understand more. They are both amazing actors. And your reactions are amazing!! Good work!!

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Thank you 🙏

[@henners98]

I can’t imagine how many people you help with these reactions. Seeing the bridge and the understanding between Rue and yourself may help someone see the finish line

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Thank you so much for saying 🙏 I hope I’m at least providing a perspective.

[@deejay4325]

I’ve had a hard time with SH since middle school, during COVID everything sort of exacerbated with being on lock down. This episode had me bawling my eyes out and laughing too, just like you did. It was a breathe of fresh air in a way & really put SO many things Into perspective. I’m 21 now going on 22 next month and I haven’t self harmed in 3 years. I never had anyone to talk to, so it felt like Ali was talking to me…it helped me. Great reaction ❤️

[@BruceMagee]

Thank you! I was looking for a review by someone in recovery. I totally agree with you-this is one of the best recovery episodes I’ve ever seen. Given that the first season was basically a Petrie dish, they had to figure out what they COULD shoot, and this is perfect. A diner with a waitress & 2 customers at Christmas. And they even answer why he stays to talk even though she’s high. He has 2 daughters who won’t see him, and he’s keeping himself sober. We should write some of his sayings down & use them in meetings!

[@maryjaneberrys]

theres a line rue says in the final episode of season 2 that follows up on this episode, and it has stuck with me ever since! I cant wait to see your reaction :)

[@7DeadlyBananas]

I’ll keep an ear open for it 🙏

[@Meganb1286]

This is easily the one that hits the most for me personally and I just remembered I can watch it full on Patreon. Looking forward to this w/insight as an addict. I watched alone the first time and it hit but deeper into sobriety I think it’ll hit even more.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

I feel like it should! 🙏

[@Meganb1286]

I have had survivor big brother and the challenge nonstop but this wknd I want to catch up and let’s chat my dude

[@serahne]

This episode ( and the next one ) are so, so, good. I will ALWAYS respect Sam Levison for them. IF ONLY he kept putting out THIS level of quality...

[@kristinaa7752]

this is my favourite episode of the whole series every line was amazing im so glad you covered this i looked especially for it! that was a real addict to addict convo

[@xojocelynxo]

oh man i’m so incredibly happy you’re reacting to these special episodes. i was in tears watching this. there are some scenes in season two (specifically episode four) that are just beautiful cinema, heartbreaking plot, and i just know it’s gonna speak to you. very beautiful reaction

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Both episodes are amazeballs but this one hits closer with my experiences in sobriety. On both sides of the table too.

[@7000Leafs.]

The intro was beautiful. i really needed to hear that. Thanks man.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Can’t wait for you to see it with me! Thank you so much for your kind words and just know it’s folks like yourself that help me keep going. This is all very scary still, in more ways than people realize I think. But I’m so grateful for the response from folks. Much appreciated 🙏

[@digitaltempest]

I found your video while watching reaction videos to movie The Iron Claw, and I was really moved by how expressive, candid, and thoughtful you were during that video. So, I decided to watch more of your videos, and I can honestly say your reaction videos are very touching and real. I appreciate your commentary and the care you put into your thoughts. I'm definitely subscribing.

[@gavinphillips9369]

Thank you so much for sharing your story, your struggles & for being a beacon of hope. This episode was insanely impactful for me & the show as a whole was integral in me getting clean + staying sober. Just knowing that I was never alone in all of it was life changing. Fast forward 498 days & I’m still clean!

What does it mean to believe in the poetry?

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Kind of another way of saying “god has a plan.” Poetry was created from pain, loss, love, happy, sad, anger…. And yet, the poetry it creates is beautiful, eloquent, inspiring, passionate. To me, with that in mind, we are the poetry. We are the ones capable of turning whatever hard strifes we have gone through into something more beautiful than we could ever imagine. A type of beauty that’s viral and potent. To speak poetically, I call myself and anyone like me (just someone who’s been through some shit), “One of the Broken.” My battle scars with life and myself are the things that make my beauty. And I now get to see that in others. Best I can do to explain 😂 sorry if it’s still confusing

[@marzh5278]

[@ukuviispert9599]

7:10 talking from the perspective of someone who hasnt struggled with addiction, and purely looking it at it from a philosophical perspective, I tend to agree with rue in their conversation about god. If everything is part of his plan and everything has a purpose, why is that some people are supposed to die and some get to live. And I especially hate it when people say it that people dying prematurely happens for a reason. There is no good reason for death. In season 2 they tried to argue the point that you have to give it a reason, but you going on with ur life isnt giving their death a reason, it's just you doing your best to live with the fact that theyre gone. Of course using it to justify drug use and other bad stuff is bad, but I never struggled with that, and still agree with her. Tho I do think that using god, or something else, as a tool for finding purpose, especially if u have mental problems or drug use, is helpful

It’s Rue’s special episode. In between the seasons 👍

[@dimestorepoet]

If you cried this whole episode oh man strap in for the rest of the season 🤣 It gets DARK

[@7DeadlyBananas]

This was an episode that really hit close to home. It literally flashed me back to every time I got sober and had to have a conversation like this, where I basically had to admit to myself that I had a problem that was out of my control. That I had to change something or else. It’s a hard moment for most. But I am totally still bracing for season 2 🤣

[@dimestorepoet]

@7DeadlyBananas As an ex addict the hardest episode of season 2 was episode 5 Prepare for that one Also hits really close to home

[@CRAkins1020]

Again as I said in the live chat (from Boston) I was functioning addict (until I wasn't) and it wasn't a "balancing act" it was more like spinning plates and it first it was "fun" (until it wasn't) I remember telling myself (and friends) how there wasn't a void I was filling... I did it cause I liked it.... but then some how the script flipped, because that No Void became the void... and those spinning plates got a lot harder to keep in place (but to be honest.... I needed those crashing plates to fall when they did, or I wouldn't be here today!)

[@CRAkins1020]

p.s. I made similar honest comments to your videos before.... and then deleted them. I hope I don't delete this one. It feels good to be honest out loud sometimes... If not for "you" but for me.
