Euphoria’s cinematography is heavily influenced by Hungarian and Eastern European cinema of the 80s, 90s and 2000s. The cinematographer, Marcell Rev is of Hungarian origin and learned filmmaking in Budapest.

If you’re interested in this style, you can check out some of the Hungarian films of that era. Taxidermia, or the works of Miklos Jancso come to mind.

There’s nothing to watch on Peacock. There’s only so many times I can rewatch old episodes of House or Parks & Rec.

Also, their NBC-themed branding is useless outside the United States so they can’t reach international markets effectively. They should do what Viacom CBS did with Paramount Plus and anchor their streaming platform to the internationally much more recognized Universal brand instead.

It also doesn’t help that the residuals model is such a mess. You get paid when the content is posted to a streaming channel but isn’t even being watched.

Stream viewership numbers are some of the most tightly guarded secrets in the world right now. People have been fired from studios for looking at these numbers without authorization. Even when they’re released to third parties due to contractual requirements (such as music licenses), they’re only released with a 6 months delay.

Until there’s transparency about viewership numbers, this will remain a mess.
