Will someone please tell my wife qnd daughter that Euphoria os not appropriate for 14 year olds? Hell i watched one episode and didn't think it was appropriate for 54 year olds.
I enjoy it and far be it from me to deprive a fourteen year old of the nudity and drug use I take for granted as an adult.
Common Sense Media says 18+. I'm sex-positive (I don't have a problem with my 14 year old watching, for example, Sex Lives of College Girls), and don't have a problem watching people (stupidly) use drugs. But I watched one episode and can't think of anything I've ever seen that was more sex-negative.
WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW
Parents need to know that Euphoria is a drama series about a teen girl who's working through addiction along with the usual challenges of adolescence. It features lots of boundary-pushing content related to sex, drugs, and sexual violence. Girls are violated in many ways, included being leered at, groped, and touched without their permission. Boys wonder if they're "whores" and share their images on social media "slut pages." A boy chokes a girl during sex, and a drug dealer tries to extract sexual payment from a girl for drugs. Nudity, especially full-frontal male nudity, is frequent; we see nudity in both sexual contexts (a man pauses before sex to put on a condom) and nonsexual (nude boys cavort in a locker room). We also see many "d--k pics," and older characters having sex or coming on to underage teens. Girls are often depicted as abused, and boys as abusers; though some characters do have redemptive arcs, there's not a lot of kindness or thoughtfulness on display. One character is an addict; many scenes depict her smoking, drinking, taking pills, or snorting (pills or white powders). Cursing is very frequent; expect "f--k," "s--t," "p---y," "a--hole," "bulls--t," "bitch," and "d--k." While it's a show about teens, the extremely mature content is most appropriate for adult viewers.
