Angus Cloud is dead

[MsDark]

Well now you have to watch.

i tried watching it when it first came out... not my jam. but yes, good performances.

[Sarzy]

I've never watched it before but I might give it a go now as I got a cheap subscription offer from Now/Sky.

I'm not saying it's great art, but it's a pretty trippy visual experience. I think Zendaya Coleman give an amazing performance in the 2nd season in the scene where she finds out that one of her loved one's threw out her drugs. The rage - and swing in emotions - was just fantastic.

I liked the first season more, where each episode they would focus on one cast member's background/childhood so it helped you understand why they were so screwed up.

The second season wasn't as good but still worth watching.

I watched a lot of druggie/disturbed teen movies back in the day - Kids, Trainspotting, every Gregg Araki, etc. And even when they were dark, there was also a fun, trippy quality to them, and a lot more humour. I think the issue is that even when they're partying and doing drugs, gen z is kind of a humourless generation and it's reflected in their shows and art. they're missing that looseness and irreverence of previous generations, especially when shows are trying to be 'serious' like euphoria. i don't blame them, given the world they've inherited and the current cultural climate but it just doesn't make for great entertainment a lot of the time.

so yeah, good performances but I barely made it to the end of the first season.

i think this is an articulate way to describe why i didn't continue. i could appreciate the show but really did not enjoy it so stopped watching.

He did not die from suicide. His mother left a message at Facebook:

Friends, I want you all to know I appreciate your love for my family at this shattered time. I also want you to know that although my son was in deep grief about his father's untimely death from mesothelioma, his last day was a joyful one. He was reorganizing his room and placing items around the house with intent to stay a while in the home he loved. He spoke of his intent to help provide for his sisters at college, and also help his mom emotionally and financially. He did not intend to end his life. When we hugged goodnight we said how much we loved each other and he said he would see me in the morning. I don't know if or what he may have put in his body after that. I only know that he put his head on the desk where he was working on art project's, fell asleep and didn't wake up.
We may find out that he overdosed accidentally and tragically, but it's abundantly clear that he did not intend to check out of this world. His struggles were real. He gave and received so much love and support to and from his tribe. His work in euphoria became a lightning rod for his generation and opened up a conversation about compassion, loyalty, acceptance and love.
His head injury 10 years ago miraculously didn't result in death as it almost always does. He was given 10 bonus years and filled them with creativity and love.
Social media posts have suggested his death was intentional. I want you to know that is not the case.
To honor his memory, please make random acts of kindness part of your daily life.
Bless your hearts.

I still think that maybe he just thought "let's just get over with this" and intenionally overdosed, but then, whatever gives his mother the most peace it is.

[Sarzy]

That's just his mother's thoughts, I don't think there's been an official report/cause of death yet?
Lots of people plan things and even seem more positive before taking their lives. But i agree it probably gives his mother comfort to think it's accidental.

Not everyone who overdoses does it delibreately. For example, I don't think Philip Seymour Hoffman committed suicide. He was given a hot does, from what I remember. "We may find out" indicates, to me, at least, that there is going to be some kind of autopsy that will give us more information.
