Euphoria season 2 is literally all people are talking about at the minute (and rightly so), and as the fourth episode just landed, fans are going wild over a couple of characters in particular. And quite frankly, we agree.
Cassie (played by Sydney Sweeney) and Cal (played by Eric Dane) gave two incredible individual performances in the episode, which aired in the UK on 31 January, and fans are now calling for them both to win Emmys.
And as hundreds flocked to Twitter to voice their opinions on the standout episode, one account wrote: “Sydney Sweeney and Eric Dane on their way to pick up their Emmy after their performances this season #Euphoria”.
Another typed: “Eric Dane (Cal Jacobs) deserves an Emmy for that scene alone. What a fucking monologue,” while a third simply wrote: “Sydney Sweeney the Emmy is yours.”
Episode four was an amalgamation of emotions, to say the least. From Nate struggling to balance his relationships with Cassie and Maddy, to Cal’s show-stopping stand-off with his family, in which he finally revealed his truth, the episode had fans on the edge of their seats.
This frenzy of Euphoria fandom comes as Zendaya’s performance in the episode also left viewers commending her portrayal of her much-loved character Rue, the teenage drug addict struggling with both her relationship with herself and her girlfriend, Jules. Fans were also hoping that what they thought happened at the end of the episode *wasn’t* true, as it saw her imagining her own funeral, and being reunited with her late father.
And while we’re all going to have to wait patiently until episode 5 drops later this week, (yep, we’re over the halfway point now) there’s no doubt that there’ll be more Emmy worthy performances to come.
You can stream Euphoria on NOW and HBO.
