Euphoria Season 3 Premiere Intrigue

Initial reviews for the new season have been surprisingly critical, with the show currently holding a series-low 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Critics have pointed to a 'spiritual hollowness' and a perceived lack of growth in the adult characters as major issues for the return.

Fans have also noted significant changes in the appearance of several cast members, leading to intense social media debate.

Despite the behind-the-scenes drama, the premiere remains one of the most-watched television events of the year, with millions tuning in for the first two episodes.
