Euphoria, created and directed by Sam Levinson, had a very successful start and two seasons of, shall we say, questionable quality.

D) I saw in the force of the hatred that things weren't right from the start.
2. When you think about the costumes and makeup in the series, your reaction is:
A) Nice to look at, but no real teenage girl would wear that on a Tuesday.
C) Iconic, it changed the aesthetics of an entire generation.
B) A crime against visual dignity committed during prime time.
D) Tumblr 2014 with an HBO budget.
3. Sam Levinson's dialogue sounds like this to you:

C) From the second season onwards it became a problem. Someone needs to intervene.
B) It makes sense in context; it's an adult series.
D) Some of them work, but sometimes it seems like he forgot what he was saying.
5. The way Euphoria deals with addiction, abuse, and violence:
