Euphoria, As We See It, and Rosamund Pike

Coming of age never ends, plus what's the deal with the Gone Girl star's career

We discuss Euphoria and As We See It, two shows about the pains of growing up.

02:53 HBO teen drama Euphoria is inarguably a huge cultural force, especially among younger generations — but is it any good?

21:52 As We See It, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, is one of the few genuinely terrific shows about people with autism and the loved ones in their orbit.

39:00 Plus, culture notes about Rosamund Pike's running streak of strange taste in projects. (We reference this article by Olivia Craighead.)
