Euphoria
Another HBO series, Euphoria has drawn shock from the start for its blunt (and some would say exploitative) portrayals of teenage drug use and sexuality.
In a 2022 story at the end of the show’s second season, The New York Times noted that many of the show’s young fans love the characters and plotlines, but not the man who created them, noting that Levinson “wrote all 18 hourlong episodes and directed all but three of them,” and that fans routinely go on social media “to criticize his visions of the characters.”
Levinson has said the show is very autobiographical: “I feel like I’m watching a version of myself navigating the world at a young age,” Levinson said in a clip promoting the show when it debuted in 2019.
