Euphoria

This isn’t your parents’ teen drama series. Though Euphoria doesn’t stream on YouTube, it has a chance to become a defining show for Generation Z, one fueled by a compelling central performance. Former Disney star Zendaya plays Rue, a drug-addicted high schooler who leaves rehab only to slip back into her partying ways when she comes under the spell of a trans girl played by model Hunter Schafer. There’s no telling yet if the Drake-produced show will cross as many boundaries as the Israeli series it’s based on. Today’s teens might be hard to surprise anyway. Sunday, June 16, at 10 p.m., HBO
