The Predecessors

Euphoria is a lot like the show Skins(US and UK). The show focused on a group of teenagers who were going through the emotional and psychological roller-coaster of being a teenager in a world of dark matters and cruel expectations. It was cancelled later as it had too much explicit content. 

Euphoria seems to take this idea, revamp it and made it more appropriate, complex and credible through the awesome actors and powerful storyline.

The narrative of Euphoria Season 2

The narrative is a complicated one. The story is told from Rue’s perspective. But the viewers cannot trust them as all addicts are liars and this makes her just unreliable. When she is intoxicated she fails to distinguish between reality and fantasy. We too get drawn to it.  It gives her the much-needed sense of happiness, the euphoria. 

Rue’s Evolution

The series shows Rue’s striving to get back on her feet, be sober and break the cycle of toxic relations. She realizes her responsibility towards her family. This is how the character of Rue learns to evolve in a world that is not kind.

They use drugs and sex to feel momentary happiness in their horrible life. They don’t even understand how they are becoming toxic and troubled as most of them have no role model to look up to.
