However, in Episode 2, 'stuntin like my daddy,' Nate's childhood is narrated in an engaging exposition. Already it seems he will follow the stereotypical jock bully typical in high school dramas. Nate made his first appearance in Euphoria's pilot, where he harassed and attempted to intimidate Jules (Hunter Schafer) for being a newcomer and, of course, trans, s he bellows in a derogatory tone, 'I know what you are.' With this, the premise for Nate's character is set in stone. Here is a character analysis of Euphoria's Nate Jacobs and an explanation of his dark and twisted psychology we hope will be further explored in the upcoming third season. In doing so, Euphoria's audience is still yet to have a definite idea of who Nate truly is beneath the dominating aura he radiates whenever he steps into a scene and his signature soundtrack comes on. And one of these characters who has received admiration and resentment is the series' main villain, Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi).ĭespite the stereotypes Nate exemplifies, is that all to his character? In fans' quest to see him as the villain who deserved to get his face broken by Fez, we have yet to look deeper at the underlying causes for his thought process, actions, and morality over the last two seasons. Although the show is centered on Rue Bennett's ( played by Zendaya) struggle with addiction and mental health, Euphoria allows every character to take the spotlight. In addition to its visual appeal, heavenly soundtrack, and overall aesthetics, what makes this teen drama resonant with its religious fandom is its relatable group of young adults.

Written and produced by Sam Levinson, HBO's Euphoria has cemented itself among the best teen shows of our time.
