Euphoria (HBO)
The signature show of the social media era — loud, brash, unafraid to be obnoxious, and undergirded with notes of shocking and askew sensitivity that left viewers breathless.
The second season of Sam Levinson’s high-school drama belonged to Zendaya and to Sydney Sweeney.
Zendaya’s Rue fought her way to a moment of peace and Sweeney’s Cassie spiraled into mania, consumed by insecurity and the need to be seen for who she really was.
This culminated in a striking auto fictional “school play,” in which characters were confronted with their fears and the things they hate about themselves.
