HBO has released the first five minutes of its highly anticipated third season of Euphoria, shocking fans with a tonal shift that some feel resembles the acclaimed New Mexico-set drug drama Breaking Bad.
In the clip shared Friday, ahead of the Sunday premiere, Zendaya’s drug addicted protagonist, Rue, is seen speeding through Mexico’s Chihuahuan Desert in a dusty SUV. As she approaches the U.S. border, she pays a motorcyclist to set up a makeshift platform so she can drive across.
