Love you D’angelo! I hope you’re break has you feeling better ❤
Please do a video on The Adam McIntyre Drama!!! 👍

Not really that surprising that this show, which was supposed to be about misogyny in the industry, would also be a breeding ground for the exact thing they’re criticising. Especially with the blatantly sexualised and terribly written female characters. The fact they fired the female director for shoving too much of a ‘female perspective’ cements this.
Plus… getting Sam Levinson of all people to critique misogyny is rich💀
Not as rich as his daddy 🙂
@AhhH! Lmao ain’t that the truth 😂
Agreed. I didn’t like euphoria at all
Yes! On top of all that they hire Nusi Quero for their costume design for this past episode. The same man being accused of sexual assault by MULTIPLE women.
D’Angelo saying this whole episode felt like an extended version of one of The Weeknd’s music videos was the most accurate representation of what I just watched💀
Don’t read my name!!.
The fact that they were worried about there being “too much of a female perspective” when the main character is a woman is rather concerning
I feel like if they wanted this show to work, they needed to get more of a female perspective.
@Crystal Nova i’m just laughing at ppl who are acting shooketh that the weeknd is a creepy misogynist. like have yall listened to his ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY ?? XD
Fr. Not to mention his fetishization of wlw relationships
@j h whose?
“One of them is 365 days and the other is only the weekend” the way D’Angelo manages to be so effortlessly funny will never cease to amaze me
The LAUGH this got out of me.
I had to play that part back because he was so smooth with the delivery
I ran it back to hear it again it was that good hahah
I died at this line aghaghaghagh 😂😂😂😂
The fact that the weeknd cant pull off sexy/smarmy creep is hysterical to me because thats his whole brand
let’s be fair. that was 8 to 10 years ago though.
@Brook Endale the sobriety nerfed the sex
@80sGraffiti isnt he like not fully sober tho?
Hello angel 🥸 hello angel 🥸😊
Like 2023 The Weeknd cant act well enough to portray 2011 The Weeknd. thats pretty funny.
To me as a photographer, that very first scene where the photographer directs her through the sequence of laughter, innocence, mischievous/playful, sexual, vulnerable, emotional/crying struck me as a pretty gnarly/heavy sequence of emotions especially in the specific order they were in, a very not trauma informed way to direct a shoot, and possibly some heavy handed foreshadowing of the sequence the show wants to take this character through.
I actually liked that too. I do think it was very telling. I saw the clip, did not watch the episode, nor do I wish to watch the show.
From articles Levison mentioned how he edited the script too include very trauma inducing sexual raape-esque scenes and the team had to stop him from pushing the scenes on it too far since they were apparently getting too intense. So it wouldn’t be surprising to see more after how they wrote these last 2 episodes
Yeah i rlly enjoyed that scene
It’s unfortunate to see a show with a very interesting premise and with a lot of potential be turned into garbage
Completely agree
Why
@SaltyAndGreasy Hollywood doing Hollywood things
@N E B S is that good or bad
I’m shcoked that people are just now calling sam levinson’s weirdness out. Euphoria is full of nasty stuff. The very first episode of euphoria even showed a grown man having sex with a child.
I feel like the idol’s cringey dialogue is so on brand for Sam Levinson.
People have been calling out him and Euphoria since like forever. It’s not like people are noticing the issues only now
There’s another show I’ll never bother with, I didn’t know, thanks for the warning. It’s scary the all the people I’ve seen praise that show never once mentioned that.
@MysteriousCarnation the only good thing about Euphoria is Zendaya’s acting skills. Other than that, the it’s disgusting festish stuff and minimal plot.
My daughter (18) and I were so excited to watch the first episode. She’d pumped me up on it for days prior like it was going to be amazing. I NEVER watch tv but we made a date of it. And by the end of it we were both sitting there in stunned silence jaws hanging open but no words appropriate to describe how we felt about the shit show we just witnessed. we both decided we needed therapy to recover after what tf we just sat thro. It was BEYOND HORRIBLE!!!! 😂😂 seriously bad!!!!
Damn!
I am sooooo sorry you watched this with family.
Man I need to watch this shit I gotta laugh
Just listen to his music for therapy 😅
