‘WTF is this Euphoria plot’: Viewers call out show AGAIN after wild Sydney Sweeney python scene

by

Euphoria season 3 episode 6 spoilers follow.

After a four-year break, the third season of Euphoria is back, but critics have had a varied reaction. Fans, however, have been even more passionate in their responses.

The show has faced criticism for several reasons, particularly regarding the storyline of Sydney Sweeney‘s character, Cassie. Many viewers feel the character has been overly sexualized and stripped of any positive traits, and that the show doesn’t accurately portray the experience of being an OnlyFans creator.

The most recent episode, ‘Stand Still and See,’ continued to emphasize the aspects of the show that have drawn criticism. For example, early scenes showed Cassie in a photoshoot wearing only a nude-colored thong and a python around her neck.

She then auditions for the show LA Nights and decides to focus on television acting, potentially breaking her OnlyFans contract. Around the same time, she horrifyingly receives a package containing her husband Nate’s severed finger.

What to Read Next

The snake isn’t just a random detail; it connects to the main story. Bishop mentions snakes eating their owners, hinting that Cassie’s story might end tragically.

However, many viewers are still unhappy with the storyline, finding it either ridiculous or dull. This is compounded by dramatic events like Rue’s betrayal of Faye, her conflict with Jules, and a serious car accident.

Fans reacted strongly to a scene featuring Cassie and a snake. One person tweeted, “Cassie with an actual snake?!” Another joked that the storyline felt like a copy of the films Pearl and Maxine, adding, “I deserve better.”

One viewer reacted to Cassie’s choice to leave sex work by saying she was giving up a possible $1 million a month for an uncertain role on a soap opera – with no guaranteed contract, salary, or script, just a vague promise of work. Another viewer simply expressed their frustration with Cassie, saying, “I’m tired of Cassie.”

Fans were shocked when Cassie deleted her OnlyFans account, especially considering she had over 50,000 subscribers and was likely earning significantly more money through it than from her TV role. Some viewers also expressed nostalgia for earlier seasons, feeling the show has shifted focus from Rue to Cassie, particularly with Sydney Sweeney’s rising fame.

Someone on Reddit mentioned the story of a snake eating its owner is actually an old myth that’s been proven false. However, another user suggested Bishop was likely just joking around when he brought it up.

Okay, so a lot of fans – myself included – are feeling really lost after the latest episode. It just felt like it went around in circles and didn’t really go anywhere. Honestly, I’m starting to wonder what the actual plot of Euphoria even is anymore! One person pretty much summed it up by asking, “What is going on?!”

New episodes of Euphoria premiere on HBO in the US on Sunday nights. Viewers in the UK can watch on Sky Atlantic, NOW, and HBO Max starting at 2am on Monday mornings.
