Euphoria Has Been Criticized For Its Explicit Content, But Sam Levinson Says That Opens A Dialogue

Euphoria comes with several viewer warnings as well as links to resources for mental health and support groups due to its content, and while there have been some who have called parts of the series “pointlessly gratuitous”, Levinson believes that the subjects covered are done in a way that will bridge a “disconnect between parents and teenagers.” Speaking about the series when it first aired back in 2019, Levinson was asked by Entertainment Weekly if he was worried about freaking out parents. He said at the time:

“I don’t know, I mean I’m kind of inside of it in a sense where I’m inside the making of it and I tend not to think about the response to it. But, I feel like this is a debate that goes on constantly throughout time, where people go, “Parents are gonna be scared,” and you go “Yeah.” And young people will be like, “Yeah, that’s my life.” I’m sure certain people will be freaked out by it and other people will relate to it. So if anything, I hope that it at least opens up a dialogue between the two because it’s hard being a teenager. It’s difficult, especially too if you’re struggling with addiction and battling those things. Hopefully it’ll open up those means of communication.”
