'Euphoria' review: Zendaya gives another Emmy-worthy performance in relentless Season 2

There's rarely been a more persuasive PSA for home schooling than HBO's "Euphoria."

In the punishing and provocative teen drama (Sundays, 9 EST/PST, ★★★ out of four), high school is Babylon by way of Southern California: a playground for hedonistic youngsters trying to numb life's pain through popping pills, promiscuous sex, binge drinking and brutal violence. They snort cocaine with the vigor of Tony Montana and watch porn that would make even Samantha Jones blush. Through Rue (Zendaya), a recovering addict, creator Sam Levinson delves into an adolescent's brain on drugs – and trust us, it's not sunny side up.

"Euphoria" premiered in 2019 to much handwringing over the show's deluge of gratuitous nudity (most depicting teenagers, played by adult actors). But that didn't deter Emmy voters from giving Zendaya, 25, the award for best actress in a drama for her shattering performance, making her the youngest person to ever win the category.
