Euphoria's long-awaited return has been met with major backlash due to numerous explicit - and controversial - scenes. The HBO series, which premiered in 2019, has always been known to push boundaries while following teenager Rue's (Zendaya) attempt to remain sober after struggling with addiction. While the first two seasons were set in high school, Euphoria ultimately introduced a time jump, allowing season 3 to check in on the main characters as adults.
