It’s unusual for a single novel to become the foundation for a major series, let alone a whole collection of related entertainment. But that’s exactly what happened with A Game of Thrones, first published in 1996. It has already led to three popular TV shows, and the brand still has a bright future with Warner Bros.

Honestly, after waiting four years for season 3 of Euphoria, I was incredibly disappointed – and that’s putting it mildly. Thinking back to the week Rue was born in September 2001 feels like a monumental moment in history, and the letdown with this season is almost on that scale. The first couple of episodes felt like a completely different show! It veered into this gritty, neo-western crime thriller territory with loan sharks and drug cartels, and honestly, everyone seemed…off. Rue felt reduced to just being boy-crazy, Maddy was acting like a Hollywood pimp, Cal was surprisingly nice and remorseful, and Nate was actually seeking Cassie’s approval – a total 180 from how he usually behaves.
