'Euphoria' Season 5 has seen some mileage as it completes five episodes. With the focus on Zendaya's Rue whose addiction gets out of hand, the episode was labeled as the best of the lot on social media as it showed Rue's issues that went far beyond drug addiction. She grapples with willpower, and acceptance, while also being exposed to adultery — something that gives her a major shock when he realizes that Jules broke her heart and has burgeoning chemistry with Elliot.

Social media was all praise for the episode calling it the best of the season. The actress' stocks just rose higher after 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and most felt 'Euphoria' was where she flaunted her acting chops to perfection. "I literally cannot breathe after that episode of euphoria," one of the fans opined. "Y’all I popped popcorn for this episode and everything and ain’t even eat it this shit was heartbreaking I lost my appetite #Euphoria," another remarked. "thank you euphoria for showing the world how much you fucking shit yourself when you experience withdrawal… I officially have no secrets now…" another fan remarked. "euphoria sounds so so good but due to my fragile mental stability i cannot risk the triggers," a comment read.
