Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

Euphoria receives a Left-Leaning rating due to its dominant themes aligning with progressive values, particularly through its empathetic exploration of gender identity, mental health, and addiction among diverse youth, often highlighting societal and familial failures rather than individual moral failings.

Diversity: HighConfidence: High

The series features a highly diverse ensemble cast, intentionally centering characters from various racial, ethnic, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds in lead roles. Its narrative explicitly engages with and critiques traditional identities, particularly toxic masculinity, while making themes of gender identity, sexual orientation, and mental health central to its storytelling.

Secondary

LGBTQ: PositiveConfidence: High

Euphoria provides a complex and raw portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, notably Jules's transgender journey and Rue's queer relationship.

Obstacles are framed as external, maintaining an empathetic stance that affirms the worth of their lives and love amidst chaos.
