In the three-year gap between season one and two, I grew from a 19-year-old to a 21-year-old woman. Yet now, after almost three years, the show has returned to the streaming world, and I have decided that I will not be watching it this time. At the time, I thought I appreciated the ‘realism’ of such content. Three years ago, I somewhat disagreed with such criticism. This unfiltered approach to adolescence is appreciated by some, but naturally there were critics who questioned whether it was appropriate to depict teenagers in such explicit and mature content. Just like its original and Skins, Euphoria is very explicit, and uncensored in the depiction of teenager’s relationships, addictions, insecurities, and flaws. That said, Euphoria was based off a 2012 Israeli mini-series of the same name, and it was this show that was inspired by Skins. See, Euphoria is roughly what Skins was, if you were to remove the grittiness that came with a mid-2000s show set in Bristol. A combination that undoubtedly helped pull in viewers who were attracted to the aesthetics of youth but were seeking a teenage drama that did not shy away from controversial themes.

The series itself was a whirlwind, with the “Danny Elfman meets Yeezus meets Gospel” music, stylish characters, and dreamy visuals, juxtaposed by the dark, raw storylines. I was also delighted to see British musician Labrinth pick up the Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics because the soundtrack he produced for the series was simply sublime. Most notably, lead actress Zendaya Coleman won the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in the 2020 Emmys, which, at the age of 24, made her the youngest actress to win the accolade in the award history. Euphoria premiered in June 2019, and it very quickly became a hit series, with the show winning 15 of its 47 award nominations.
