I think you're fuccing up by comparing "Euphoria" to a movie. R-rated teen films are normal, but TV-MA-rated teen drama shows is pretty much a new unique concept atleast to an American audience. I've NEVER seen or heard of an American TV-MA-rated teen drama show before "Euphoria".

I always felt that Netflix's "13 Reasons Why" was like Euphoria Sugar-Free lol as far as teen drug and sex realism. I tend to chuckle when naysayers act with such disbelief when they themselves were probably just a bad as adolescents back in the Reagan '80s. Those are the only two teen shows on that MA echelon that I can recall though. I had high hopes after season one of "13 Reasons Why" but they never wanted straight black men to be part of its target audience . . . too focused on White male interracial content for my tastes but I still enjoyed first three seasons for quality dramatic storylines.

This might have something between Eiza González and Jovan Adepo's characters. The book its based on seems to be super popular. Anybody read it?

I actually just started it! Trying to finish the first book before the Netflix series hits. I'll try to keep you updated once I have some info.

Edit>
I did a little peeking online, and I don't think the book is gonna help with your question. Since the original novel is Chinese, they changed a bunch of characters for the English language "international" adaptation. There was a previous Chinese adaptation too.

In this case I think both these characters, along with 2 or 3 others, were a single character in the book. Hopefully that will make some sense to me as I read lol

This looks pretty good! I'm a fan of Jovan Adepo's characters he brings to the screen. The guy is underrated imo.

I'm currently watching the 1st episode of Netflix's "3 Body Problem" and there does seem to be something Jovan Adepo & Eiza González's characters. I'm not sure if they're an established couple or it's a "will they, won't they" situation, but @mr.roboto was right.

Despite Inbar Lavi appearing in 6 episodes of season 2 of "The Last Ship" according to IMDB, there's no mention of her under recurring characters on the Wikipedia page about show's cast of characters. So I gotta assume she was only a minor recurring character.

Through 3 episodes of Netflix's "3 Body Problem", the show hasn't been explicit about what Jovan Adepo & Eiza González's characters' personal 'ship is. But I'd describe it as either:

A. Exes who are still close with each other.

OR

B. They're an on & off again couple.


It's also possible they're still in "will they, won't they" phase & haven't became a couple yet.
 
Just watched the full length trailer of the Prime Video adaptation of the New York Times #1 Best seller "The Baxters" and there is a significant storyline of interracial content with one of the Baxter daughters. I have not watch it yet but this is a faith and family based project aimed at the Hallmark channel demographic I think. The production value seems good so I will give it a look. It isn't a movie but a full season. I only recognize the Patriarch and Matriarch of the Baxter family as familiar actors Ted McGinley and Roma Downey respectively.

i watched most of the 3BP, didn’t really care for it, but there’s plenty of subtext on the show to establish their “on & off again” status. Not much heat to any of the relationships on the show.

I spoiled myself with internet searches about the show The Baxter’s, not going to watch it, but am curious if someone invests the time. Faith-based programming with complicated character development and motivations is a good idea, but that ir ship seems to traffic in what some on this forum—including me—would prefer to avoid. It’s in the trailer so I’m not spoiling anything.
 

This will air tonight on AMC, if you have AMC plus, you've already seen it. The episode is a slow burn, meant to set up somethings. the lead character is married to Paula Malcomson from Deadwood and Ray Donovan fame. This is what happened in the pilot.
no affection but they do flirt with each other. Then they discuss married ppl problems

I've seen the first season and skipped to the third and last season. The ir ship doesn't go exactly how I thought it would, it's actually kinda inspiring but the end of season 1 is sad. No need for spoiler tag I didn't give any details.

It's an HBO Max show called "The Girls on the Bus":





Looks like a "Scandal" Knockoff.

Nice to see Melissa Benoist in a potential IR with a black man. Although this so far is looking like something I will pass on. I was not that big of a fan of Scandal. lol.

These ladies are press corp from my brief look at the trailer. It is like that movie years ago of the 2012 presidential election with two different young adults working the GOTV operation . . . I think it was interracial too but I don't remember the title.

I don't know about this. Yeah I'm glad to see Melissa Benoist in an IR relationship, especially after the disgrace that was Supergirl season 2 and beyond lol. But her character here looks a little too into that politician she's covering.

It's right there in the trailer: her coworkers tease her for being "uptight" even though she's having sex with her husband. Guess who could probably help her loosen up a bit?

I predict a love triangle or at least some level of unfaithfulness on her part (and this looks like enough of a girl power movie that she won't face any consequences for it). I hope I'm wrong and her marriage is rock solid.

The Black guy is apart of the main cast and the White not so that's a positive sign.

That makes me feel just a little bit better about it. Thanks for the info. Like I said I hope my gut feeling is wrong.

Edit>
On second thought I'm not sure it matters if the side dude isn't a main character. They could easily have a one night stand that "empowers" her, framing adultery as something positive. I really hope I'm being too pessimistic lol

I just noticed the first 5 episodes of Girls on the Bus are available on Max. That's half the season. Has anybody here checked it out yet? Is the wwbm relationship solid, or does she cheat? Is there a *barf* love triangle?

Edit-
I did some Google searching and it's not what I feared, but it's not great either

There isn't a wwbm relationship at all. Melissa's character and the black dude are exes. They hooked up on the previous campaign and she ghosted him. Now he's got a big shot political position that might complicate some stuff for her.

The white guy is literally known as Hot White Guy, and she's having day dream fantasies about dude stripping to Ginuwine.

Doesn't sound like there's gonna be any wwbm relationship on this show at all. Sounds like it's all in the past, so maybe some flashbacks? I might not even watch. Hopefully one of you will have a pleasant surprise report for us in the next few weeks lol

Melissa and Black dude hooked up in episode 2 and kissed again in episode 3. She also fantasized about him in episode 4 which was a full on make out session.
Black dude is clearly the main love interest.

See, this is why I ask you guys instead of just googling lol. Thanks for the info. Do you think the show is worth watching?

I watch it. It is very easy to get onto and new episodes air each Thursday night. This a very realistic sociopolitical show that is timely for what we witnessed in the winter of 2016.

That's not accurate. The IR relationship is on again off again. They have issues but still get together seasonally lol. It is the political season so they are both in mid-season form. Life in Washington D.C. was like this when I worked as a summer intern at the U.S. Attorneys office.

These people live in a traveling political election season circus. The IR couple is not official because they cannot be . . . it would be too hazardous professionally due to their careers understand. She is press corp and he is Chief of Staff for the Hillary Clinton character who lost the previous election but is running again on the surprise tip.
