Well, we can’t say we weren’t warned. After the truly awful premiere of HBO’s drug-fueled, underage sex series
Euphoria, star Zendaya stated as a preview for the rest of the season, “Let’s just say like, the first episode is the most mild, to be honest.”
The June 23 episode “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” proves her right with a long-awaited scene featuring more than a dozen penises.
The episode kicks off with a profile on high school football star Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi). For starters, when Nate was an 11-year-old boy, he discovered his father Cal’s (Eric Dane) homemade porn collection. Cal, as it turns out, is the man behind the pilot's statutory rape of a trans teen, and Nate found numerous videos of his dad having sex with boys and trans girls calling him "Daddy." Surprisingly, Cal used this as a teaching moment for his son to encourage him to harden up and never let anyone know about his sexual insecurities.
