Drake to Executive Produce New HBO Series ‘Euphoria’

No, it's more than that. The lady gave her $10K worth of product on consignment to flip. The plan was that she enlist 3 others to help her move the product and pay them $1K each and out of what's left she kicks back $3K to the plug and keeps $4K for herself.

She owes $10K for the product plus $3K for interest/credit or whatever you want to call it. That's $13K and she only came back with about $2000, so at the very least she owes another $11000. Again, I call bullshit if this goes unpunished by the end of the season. However, it would be an interesting twist if Rue or her sister Gia gets snatched up into some human trafficking shit due to Rue's recklessness.

So if she didn't get workers at the bare minimum she should give back what the value of the product was right?

Rue is 87lbs dripping wet and while going through withdrawals, she outran her mother and all them police officers. Respect.

And her performance last night was ridiculous. Really sold the role. This show lives and dies with Zendaya.

Can't lie. Last night's episode was best of the entire series

I had almost gave up on the show, then last night they had a fire episode. Zendaya might go down as one of the GOATS someday.





Agreed. Complete acting showcase by Zendaya last episode. Award worthy.
 
Had watched this scene w/ closed captioning,when her sister screamed at her it read it as "CHUT UP!!!":roflmao2:




Sometimes I put the captioning on for pure comedy during sports events.


Especially if the commentary is fast & there's lots of hard to spell and sound out international names.


The TV will start to glitch out like it's drunk or high. I've seen it correct itself up to 5 times as it tries to spell out the name that was pronounced, and often it's NOT even close at all. Then once it falls behind and tries to catch up with the ongoing commentary it will start glitching out further with signs, symbols and numbers interspersed with the letters of a name. It's pretty funny. Polish names especially. I've seen countless versions of the TV trying to spell out "Joanna Jędrzejczyk"


:roflmao3:




 














 




 






 
HBO Max’s Ratings Euphoria

How hot is Euphoria? HBO this week said that even airing opposite the Super Bowl, its edgy Gen-Z drama was able to attract a series-high 5.1 million viewers within a few hours of its premiere. That number includes viewers who watch the show live on TV, record it via DVR, catch the same-day reruns on HBO, and, most importantly, stream it. Given the show’s youthful skew, you’d expect a big chunk of Euphoria’s audience to come from streaming, but I have to admit I was a bit shocked when HBO/HBO Max content chief Casey Bloys this week told me just how much of the series audience comes from HBO Max. “Eighty percent of viewing is taking place on the platform,” he told me, noting that other HBO recent hits such as Mare of Easttown and White Lotus drew 50 and 60 percent of their audiences from Max, respectively.

Eighty percent of Euphoria viewing is taking place on HBO Max.
Euphoria’s streaming skew explains why the overall audience for the show is much bigger than even the numbers HBO reports after episodes premiere each week. That 5.1 million HBO reported for this Sunday’s episode will triple within the next few weeks as audiences catch up. Already, for example, last month’s season premiere is estimated to have been watched by a jaw-dropping 17 million viewers. You’d never guess that from the same-day numbers Nielsen reports. The ratings company only tallied 254,000 same-day viewers for the show’s January 9 return; this week’s episode notched 283,000 same-day viewers. But once those DVR replays and HBO Max streams get tallied, the total audience explodes. “I think Euphoria at this point has taken off into another stratosphere,” Bloys says.
I talked to the HBO/HBO Max boss on Tuesday in conjunction with the platform’s appearance at the TV Critics Association virtual press tour. Among the other tidbits I gleaned from a quick ten-minute chat with Bloys:
➽ While Prime Video has already launched a massive marketing campaign for its new Lord of the Rings series, Bloys isn’t feeling any pressure to start beating the drums for Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon. “When you’re talking about rolling out a show, timing is important,” he said. “You don’t want to do it too late but you don’t want to do it too soon, so that you spend a lot of money telling everybody about something that doesn’t air for months and months, when hundreds of other shows are going to air in between. That’s what we’re usually balancing is, when is the optimal time for messaging to start?” Bloys played coy when I asked if the Dragon effort would roar to life. “Our campaign will kick in at some point,” he laughed. “How’s that for vague?”
➽ As he’s said for months now, a second season of And Just Like That … depends on the cast and producers having the right idea for the show and having a desire to do it. Showrunner Michael Patrick King recently told Variety he definitely wants to come back, so is HBO Max still interested? “Oh, yeah,” Bloys said.
➽ I asked Bloys why HBO Max originals such as Hacks have the same weekly cadence as HBO shows, but don’t also premiere new episodes in primetime (9 or 10 p.m. Eastern) the way HBO shows do when dropping on Max. Instead, they simply appear on the service in the wee hours of the morning, like most streaming-only shows. “It’s a fair question,” he told me. “I don’t have a good answer for you.” I don’t know if Bloys will consider making a change, but anecdotally, Apple TV+ has benefited by having its Friday premieres actually bow Thursday evenings at 9 p.m. Eastern, while HBO-branded shows still get a lot of buzz from audiences almost surely watching nearly live on HBO Max.
 









 
I don't get why Ash did what he did. The woman let them know not to say anything to incriminate themselves and was even faking the funk like dude told her something different. If the cops had anything on you they wouldn't need dude to try to set you up. Play dumb and act like you don't know what the hell dude is talking about.
 
This show should really rack up the nominations this award season. Like the show or not, Zendaya showed her ass with the acting..and Sydney. Hell, Storm deserves some looks as supporting actress. Feels like the cast in general tried to keep up with one another, which is how it should be to make a great TV show. True ensemble cast :thumbsup:
