With Season 3, Sam Levinson's polarised web series Euphoria comes to an end in the same way it began – with heated discourse on social media. The show might have veered off the rails as the cast and characters navigated adulthood, but the creator still managed to rage-bait his audience into watching the entire final season.
Here are five times Sam Levinson successfully rage-baited the audience:
1. Faye's Graphic Poop Scene
In episode one, Rue and Faye are shown struggling to swallow balloons filled with drugs, with Zendaya being given a strainer to poop out the drugs while Faye loses bowel control. A dog begins licking the poop smeared on her, leaving the audience in shock.
2. Cassie's Cringeworthy OnlyFans Outfits
Cassie marries Nate but takes Maddy's help to boost her OnlyFans career. She's seen dressed like a puppy and a baby, which the internet called out. The scene also features a campy nod to 'Cassie-zilla' that feels too big for her birches.
3. Jules' NSFW Painting
Jules paints a picnic scene for a TV show, but the painting features a visible penis on every single figure. The audience is left wondering what was wrong with Jules.
4. Alamo's Effective Villainy
Alamo runs a strip club and is wary of the women around him due to his mother's past actions. Despite being given only five minutes of screen time, Alamo is shown to be the show's most effective villain.
5. Nate's Gruesome Death
Nate's character undergoes a significant overhaul, making him the least problematic he has ever been. His gruesome death is much-deserved after everything he put Maddy and Cassie through, but the futility of the events leading up to it only made the internet rage harder.
