A local man has spent quite a bit of time on Binge lately, closely following the trials and tribulations of American students as shown on the hit HBO drama ‘Euphoria.’ And as he’ll say to anyone who will listen, he’s only watching it for the storyline.

‘Yep, that’s the big appeal for me. No other reason. I got into Euphoria during S2 just because it seemed like such an engrossing drama,’ said Nigel Stiffson (24), a late-blooming Commerce student who typically enjoys such highbrow intellectual fare as Jackass, and Jackass 2.

‘The show features just so many powerful performances. From Sydney Sweeney to, um, Syd- Syd- Zendaya. She’s in it, too!’

Unfortunately, Nigel’s story seems to have as many gaping holes as an episode of Euphoria. It’s become increasingly clear to those around him that he first discovered the show as a result of a PornHub compilation.

‘Yeah, he went from saying it was a shitty show for teen girls to texting me constantly asking to rank the characters,’ said a beleaguered friend of Nigel’s, who asked not to be named.

The show, which has drawn attention for its fairly frank portrayals of sexuality and explicit drug use, has also garnered some attention on pornography websites, for its fairly frank portrayals of sexuality.

‘Nah, I’m not into that shit. Why would I watch porn when I could just catch up on two minutes of Euphoria?’ reported Nigel, giving himself up a bit.

At press time, the ex-Nudgee College student didn’t even realize that the drama nerd he used to give a bit of shit to in the corridors was in the show.

He was distracted.

No more to come (resisting the urge for a very silly joke here).
