Critics' reviews

"[It] is such a fitting bridge from the first season to the second that it’s hard to imagine what the next stage of 'Euphoria' would look like without it."

Caroline Framke: Variety
"Zendaya and Domingo get all the credit for making it watchable (...) Its calmness and maturity is welcome, after so many episodes that built up to a big, shocking reveal."

Ben Travers: IndieWire
"This is a perfect departure, a welcome pause in the shimmering chaos. 'Trouble Don’t Last Always' is uniquely suited to this moment"

Lena Wilson: The Playlist
"The restrictions imposed on 'Trouble Don’t Last Always' came (...) from the challenges of a pandemic. The end result, though, is one where a little bit less of 'Euphoria' as usual wound up being a lot more rewarding"

Alan Sepinwall: Rolling Stone
"That it never feels boring is a testament to the smart editing, the honesty of the storytelling, and the tremendous acting bringing these characters to life."

Angelica Jade Bastien: Vulture
"A remarkable hour of television (...) Colman Domingo delivers the small-screen performance of the year (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

Jonathon Wilson: Ready Steady Cut
"The success of the episode really does hinge on a smart and engaging script and on Domingo and Zendaya bringing it to life with as much fervor as the flashier episodes of 'Euphoria' evoke"

Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya: AV Club
"Captivating and affecting (...) [It] is frequently as funny as it is grim (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Rebecca Nicholson: The Guardian
