Did you see 'Kids' when it came out? Or the British show 'Skins' more recently.
Basically up to date exploration and dramatization of navigating the perils of being a modern teen, drinking, drugs, sex, parties, betrayals, trying to fit in, being ostrasized, ****ing up, paying the consequences, etc.
But what sets it apart is the execution. A lot of the drama is set by the cinematography and blocking. Some frames are literally a work of art. And the music and voiceovers and flashbacks and imagery are all very evocative.
It's heightened in much the same way being a near-adult teen is heightened, more dramatic, more consequential, more devastating, etc.

I’ll give it a look. Thanks. I didn’t see Skins or kids.
I did, however enjoy (shamefully) Sex Lives of College Girls. That is assuredly much lighter than Euphoria, but maybe I won’t hate the subject matter as much as I’m anticipating.
