In my opinion, Alamo’s backstory was the best backstory in Euphoria so far in terms of pure quality. When you’re watching it, you almost forget you’re even watching Euphoria because of how immersive and cinematic it feels.
I also loved how much attention Sam put into getting the time period accurate. The styling, atmosphere, environments, music, and overall presentation genuinely felt authentic to that era. It really captured the feeling of that family dynamic and environment in a way that felt believable and detailed rather than exaggerated or artificial.
The only issue for me is that the backstory itself felt a little randomly placed within the episode. It was cool to watch and extremely well made, but it also felt somewhat disconnected from the pacing of everything else happening around it.
But what I’m starting to realize is that Sam probably has an insane amount of footage and material filmed. It honestly feels less like he only has “8 episodes” worth of content and more like he has dozens of hours of scenes, ideas, and storylines, and he’s just selecting different pieces he thinks the audience will find emotionally interesting or cinematic enough to include.
