This season of Euphoria is gaining a lot of traction from the public, fans are raving about it across all social media platforms. The show’s viewing numbers have also been going up, bringing in 16.7 million viewers this season, twice as much as last season.

In a previous Instagram post just before season 2’s premiere, Zendaya let fans know a little more about what would be coming to Euphoria. Her post stated, “I know I’ve said this before, but I do want to reiterate to everyone that Euphoria is for mature audiences,” she wrote. “This season, maybe even more so than the last, is deeply emotional and deals with subject matter that can be triggering and difficult to watch.”

With all the success it has gained over the past couple of weeks there have also been some critiques over the way the show is presenting kids in high school.

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education, more widely known as D.A.R.E., came out with a statement that read, “…HBO’s television drama, Euphoria, chooses to misguidedly glorify and erroneously depict high school student drug use, addiction, anonymous sex, violence, and other destructive behaviors as common and widespread in today’s world.”

Euphoria is a show that follows Zendaya playing Rue as a high school student who is battling a severe drug addiction after losing her father at a young age.

Zendaya defended the HBO show by sharing her own statement, “Our show is in no way a moral tale to teach people how to live their life or what they should be doing. If anything, the feeling behind Euphoria, or whatever we have always been trying to do with it, is to hopefully help people feel a little bit less alone in their experience and their pain. And maybe feel like they’re not the only one going through or dealing with what they’re dealing with.”
