The second season of "Excitement"
Euphoria
In 2019, Netflix's "Sex X Self-Study Room" became popular all over the world. HBO is not to be outdone, and the follow-up "Excitement" is also a hit.
The first season of Douban scored 8.5, and the second season directly soared to 9.3 points.
Many fans have called out after watching the premiere episode, worthy of HBO... Indeed, this show is really HBO!
If "Self-Study Room" represents the sunny and ignorant side of teenagers, then "Excitement" is to tear off the last fig leaf of adolescence and present all kinds of unbearable scenes of depravity, decadence, madness and self-masochism in the most bloody way. Let people see in the eyes, pain in the heart.
Adapted from an Israeli drama series about a teenager who was murdered outside a nightclub a year ago, while a year after the tragedy, other teen companions tried to escape reality through drugs, sex and violence in response to an uncertain future.
Although HBO claimed that the show was a combination of "Half-Baked Boy" and "Guess the Train", the dean felt that in addition, its style was more like the British drama "Skin Bag". The protagonists are also a group of young people in their youth, who also choose to indulge in alcohol, D-quality and sex, torturing themselves in a depraved and decadent way, and escaping from the world.
The heroine is played by Zandaya, who previously played Spider-Man's girlfriend in "Spider-Man: The Return of the Hero", and this time in "Excitement" can be described as a role experience that subverts herself.
She also won the 72nd Primetime Emmy Award for Best Actress for this drama.
The second daughter is Hunter Shafer, an American female fashion model, who plays a transgender woman in the play.
It is worth mentioning that the actor himself is also a transgender woman.
The protagonist of the story is named Rue, who was born on the third day after the events of 9/11, and she may not be destined to go well in the midst of sadness and depression.
Although in a middle-class family, Rue realized that she was different as a child. She found it always difficult to find herself calm, and too many noisy noises around her were about to drive her crazy.
After discovering her abnormality, the parents took Rue for a comprehensive examination and concluded:
Rue suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, hyperactivity, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder.
The disease overwhelmed Rue, and the older she got, the more she felt exhausted.
Until she met D Pin...
The feeling of bumping made her feel like a new life, unable to extricate herself. After repeated drug abuses, she was finally taken to the hospital for an overdose of D.
When she woke up, she was sent to the D-rehab center.
However, quitting D did not alleviate her pain, she was confused and helpless, and the sober world was more difficult to accept, so she relapsed.
Without Jules, Rue might have fallen like this until the end of his life.
Jules is a newly moved girl to town, and she just appears like a "Sailor Moon" and exudes endless vitality. Always sunny and positive, it seems out of place with Rue.
But Jules also has unsung pain, she's a transgender person.
When he was a child, his parents could not accept his "abnormality" at all, and forcefully sent him to a mental hospital, and after a long and painful period of suffering, he completed the sex reassignment surgery and lived a dream.
But the change in appearance could not make up for the emptiness in her heart, and she urgently needed to prove the fact that she was a woman.
So she chose to date*, looking for strange men from same-sex dating sites, trying to prove that she was a woman by conquering men.
Her first experience wasn't good, and what awaited her was an old man.
Elegant in appearance and rough in movement, he did not care about Jules's feelings at all, but only used her as a tool to vent his desires.
After spending this time in a blur, Jules arrives at a party hosted by nate, the second generation of the rich in town.
As soon as he entered, he met Nate, who was in a bad mood, and Jules was also a cruel person, directly taking a knife to Nate and stabbing himself.
The blood frightened all the spectators present, and Nate did not dare to come forward, and everyone remembered the strange woman.
It was this experience that led Jules to meet Rue.
The moment the eyes of the two marginalized teenagers in society make contact, they have already identified each other, and a wonderful friendship begins.
Two people feel sorry for each other, you understand my pain, I understand your suffering.
Take care of each other, stick together every day, and gradually develop feelings.
But Rue's sensitivity increased the pressure on Jules.
Falling in love with an addict isn't easy, and Jules is always worried that if she doesn't do the right thing, it will affect Rue and make her relapse.
She simply can't accept that Rue has fallen because of D pins, and she is afraid that Rue will lose her life.
In addition to them, the teenagers in the play also have their own troubles.
Rich second generation Nate, a high-value sports boy, his father is a public figure in the town, rich and powerful.
As his father's beloved son, he was also given high hopes from an early age, and his athletic talent also made him an excellent rugby player.
However, he has been battling his own sexuality for the reason that it comes from his father.
As a child, Nate stumbled upon an astringent videotape in her father's study, which was full of X-love and mostly pedophile films.
This incident caused a huge blow to the young Nate's psychology, and his sexual orientation and values became invisibly distorted.
On the one hand, he is worried about being discovered by others, hiding himself by looking for school flowers as girlfriends, and habitually making all kinds of vicious jokes about women;
On the one hand, it is difficult to suppress sexual impulses, will download various photos on same-sex websites, and will also brutally impose this desire on his girlfriend.
At the same time, his perverted possessiveness makes it impossible for him to accept that his girlfriend is having an affair with other men.
Even during the breakup, after learning that the school flower had sex with other men, he directly ran to beat the other party...
Maddy, the school flower who fell in love with him, is typical from small beauty to adulthood.
But even though everyone praised her for her beauty, she was still not confident and always doubted where her body was not perfect.
After meeting Nate, it was like being PUA by him.
Even if Nate pinched her neck, she thought it was love and wanted to excuse him.
Even do not care about each other's sexual orientation, proper love brain...
People are divided into groups, and Maddy's girlfriend Cassie is also the embodiment of the love brain.
With a high appearance and a fiery figure, she is quiet on the outside and wild on the inside.
However, he is loyal to love, and every time he meets a boyfriend, he will try to meet the requirements of the other party.
But almost all men come to her for her body.
Therefore, I will deliberately take various ** videos and pictures, and upload them to the Internet after breaking up.
This kind of bad behavior is not uncommon among these teenagers.
Cassie couldn't do anything about it, just hiding in the shadows and crying quietly.
Unlike her, the fat four-eyed girl was also secretly filmed.
She was very rigid, and directly threatened the initiator to report him,
Forcing the other party to delete the video, he asked the principal after the question, "Does the principal also discriminate against fat girls?" "I just shrugged it off.
Although she has always been criticized for her figure, although she is a little transparent in real life, she is a big winner of the same humanities on the Internet.
As her followers grew, she began to present herself online, and in the process met some people with strange sexual fetishes.
They get pleasure by making a video of the fat girl half naked, or verbally abusive, and they pay her money accordingly.
This deformed way of making money has given the fat girl a different kind of confidence, and she began to "conquer" men in various ways.
But over time, the emptiness of the heart transcends the thrill of conquest.
Every teenager in "Excitement" faces a more or less dilemma, and they speak out to the world in various ways that hurt themselves.
They hate everything around them, so they grab it when they encounter a little light.
Even if this light may stab itself, it is not spared.
Although the whole drama is full of elements that make people degenerate, such as D products, sex, alcohol, etc., this is exactly what the director wants to remind us, to remind young teenagers not to go astray, and to remind parents with children to pay attention to their children's mental health in time, nothing is more important than accompanying their children's growth.
