Teens behaving badly have been a staple of storytelling both on the big screen and small, but rarely has the subject been handled as unflinchingly or as thoughtfully as HBO’s Euphoria. Based on an Israeli miniseries by the same title, the sobering drama stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, and a number of other young, up-and-coming actors as high school students struggling with mature themes like drug abuse, trauma, troubled family dynamics, sex, and more, and it has earned numerous accolades since it debuted in 2019. Zendaya in particular has been singled out for her performance, becoming the youngest winner of the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her central role as recovering drug addict Rue.
