HBO The third (and last?) season of “Euphoria,” HBO’s crushingly bleak portrait of wayward youths in Southern California, sees its coterie of high school friends navigate the seventh circle of hell — which, in the eyes of its creator, Sam Levinson, means entering the world of sex work.
Rue (Zendaya) goes “Maria Full of Grace,” smuggling fentanyl from Mexico to America in her body and working as an assistant manager at a seedy strip club to work off her substantial debt to Laurie; Jules (Hunter Schafer) is raking in big bucks as a high-end sugar baby to a plastic surgeon who enjoys mummifying her in Saran wrap; Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) starts an OnlyFans to pay for the $50,000 in wedding flowers she apparently needs to marry Nate (Jacob Elordi); and Maddy (Alexa Demie) reluctantly becomes her ex-friend Cassie’s manager, intent on transforming her into the next Sophie Rain.
