Jules Vaughn Keeps Me Watching Euphoria Season 3
Despite finding Euphoria's third season heavy on staginess, sex, and gore at the expense of character development, the writer continues watching solely for Jules Vaughn, played by Hunter Schafer. Jules, an aspiring artist and part-time sugar baby, is navigating a complex relationship with Rue (Zendaya) while growing dependent on a surgeon who wraps her in plastic. The writer criticizes the predictable narrative—trans women in sex work—and wishes for more emotional depth. However, Schafer's luminous performance and a glimpse of Jules painting a nude in Episode 3 keep the writer invested.
