During my time at OU, one of my good friends, Elena Price, mentioned TV shows she binge-watched. From; Bridgerton, YOU, to The Handmaid’s Tale. One of the TV shows that got me on was Euphoria.
It stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, to Sydney Sweeney.
TRIGGER WARNING
One of the reasons that I loved Euphoria is that it mentions a lot of serious issues in today’s society. For example, HBO’s show, Euphoria, has sparked controversy with its depiction of teenage drama, violence, and addiction. Content Warning: The following article contains spoilers for the HBO show Euphoria, as well as discussions of abuse, drug addiction, gun violence, self-harm, and suicide.
But, the reason I love Euphoria is the aesthetic of the lights, makeup, etc. Also, the soundtrack for the show was by singer/songwriter Labrinth.
About Euphoria
An American adaptation of the Israeli show of the same name, “Euphoria” follows the troubled life of 17-year-old Rue, a drug addict fresh from rehab with no plans to stay clean. Circling in Rue’s orbit are Jules, a transgender girl searching for where she belongs; Nate, a jock whose anger issues mask sexual insecurities; Chris, a football star who finds the adjustment from high school to college harder than expected; Cassie, whose sexual history continues to dog her; and Kat, a body-conscious teen exploring her sexuality. As the classmates struggle to make sense of their futures, the series tackles the teenage landscape of substance-enhanced parties and anxiety-ridden day-to-day life with empathy and candor.
