![]() The bill was later partially repealed amid backlash and boycotts.īefore landing the role of Jules on Euphoria, Schafer was planning to attend Central Saint Martins in London to study fashion. North Carolina had signed a bill which meant an individual had to use the bathroom that matched their sex, not their gender identity. In 2017, she successfully campaigned against a discriminatory bill in the state of North Carolina, known as the Bathroom Bill. ![]() Schafer is also well known for her LGBTQ+ activism. But what’s also exciting is that it’s not about that at all.” She added: “All the complications that come with being trans and queer simultaneously, as far as that being something the public is going to see: That’s really exciting to me because that story will be accessible. “We’re so much more complex than just one identity.” Also, even if it's not realistic to you, who cares? If it's entertaining and high quality (which it is) then you'll probably enjoy it.Speaking to Variety about the role of Jules, Schafer said: ”There need to be more roles where trans people aren’t just dealing with being trans they’re being trans while dealing with other issues. and most teens will find at least some stuff in the show relatable. Many teens struggle with drugs, violence, sex, partying, social pressures, social media, bullying etc. The creator, Sam Levinson has stated he took inspiration for Euphoria from his struggles with addiction as a teen. But just because my experience wasn't like this and your experience may not have been like this, doesn't mean it wasn't like this for anyone else. As a teen, my experience certainly wasn't like this at all. ![]() In response I'd say this: speak for your damn self. As a co-writer with creator Sam Levinson on her special episode, Schafer could nab her first Emmy nomination from.

I say this as someone with OCD, though not the same type and perhaps not as severe as is depicted.Īnyway, the first episode overall is a great pilot. ![]() The show also happens to have one of the few, and most realistic on screen depictions of OCD and mental illness/disorders I've seen in my life. Thankfully, I do care about all the other characters for the most part. However, since this is only the first episode and i assume the show will flesh all the characters out throughout the rest of the 8 episode run, it's kind of unfair to criticize on this point too much. In fact, one of them is absolutely terrible with 0 redeeming qualities. They're flat, one dimensional and not likeable. There were parts where I almost teared up, and one part where I literally had my jaw hanging open! (And not because of any of the nudity, drug use, or violence that many people have been clutching their pearls over.) My biggest criticism would be that there are two characters who aren't fleshed out at ALL so far. But it grabbed my attention immediately and held it through the whole episode.

I'm so sick of seeing people give shows and movies 1/10 if they don't like it or 10/10 if they like it. In its second, Jules-centric holiday special, the HBO series returns to its ostentatious roots, undercutting the potential of its own story.
