[edit]

Euphoria's first season was met with a positive response from critics, with praise for its acting (specifically from Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Colman Domingo), storyline, visuals, and approach to mature subject matter. However, it met with controversy for the amount of drug use and nudity throughout the show. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 80%, with an average rating of 7.4/10 based on 100 critical reviews.[32] The site's critical consensus summary states, "a uniquely challenging and illuminating series, held together by a powerfully understated performance from Zendaya".[32] The review aggregator website Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 68 out of 100, based on 26 critics.[33] Ben Travers of IndieWire praised the show's authenticity, how HBO "grounds itself in stark reality", and Zendaya's performance and narration.[34] Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter noted Zendaya's performance and the handling of the subject matter.[35] Pilot Viruet of Observer called the show "visually stunning" and praised the ensemble's performance, but criticized the writing as "shaky, filled with clunky lines", and recommended that the show "keep its focus narrow".[36] Jamila Stewart of Vogue stated that Euphoria still has a palpable impact on where fashion trends fall today.[37]
