High-school, we all have our feelings about it. Am I right?
First off, the memes and TikTok’s of life before Euphoria and life after have me dying of laughter. They are spot on. Second, if you love TV shows that are full of drama, sex, and teenage angst, then you are about to binge-watch all 10 of these shows below.
Euphoria, if you’ve never seen it, centers around a teenager named Rue (Zendaya) and her struggle with drugs, relationships, and of course her love Jules (Hunter Schafer). This is a classic gritty high school series with some of the scenes being rather raunchy, risky, and absolutely fabulous. Now in season two, the show is even better than the last. If the wardrobe, cast, and make-up weren’t enough for you, the awkward and rather dangerous teenage situations are worth the watch. But what if you already finished?
Stop stressing if you’re sitting there eagerly awaiting the next episode of Euphoria not knowing what to do. We have selected a variety of shows that capture the most important moments of adolescence and will satisfy your inner-teenager. Check out our list of 10 TV shows to watch if you love watching Euphoria below.
10. 'Shap Objects' on HBO
Adapted from the wildly successful novel Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, the series centers on Camille Preaker, a reporter with a drinking problem. Camille returns to her hometown to investigate the murder of two teenage girls. When she returns home, she also has to deal with her wild, younger sister, Amma, and the drama of her hometown. There is a perfect combination of crime, teenage angst, and mental health in this show. I watched this series back in 2018 when it was released and I continue to watch it to this day because it is so good. Despite knowing the ending (which I won’t spoil), it’s just that well written. The show will not have a second season, unfortunately. But 100% worth the watch.
8. 'Yellowjackets' on ShowTime
This is a perfect psychological drama. Christina Ricci in a new psychotic and arranged role on TV is everything. This show is perfect for mystery junkies. The world of Yellowjackets is filled with dark drama, plane crashes, and backstabbing. A newbie would describe it as a perfect blend of ‘Heathers’ and ‘Lost’. In the 1990s, a high school girls’ soccer team is stranded in the woods for 19 months. During their time stranded, they encounter some very unusual and unfortunate events. However, I still do not fully understand what is going on (the ending is very WTF) but season two has been confirmed!
2. 'Gossip girl' on HBO Max
Six seasons of gossip, drama, crime, and the fabulous Blake Lively. Throughout the course of the show, an omniscient blogger watches and reports on every one of the privileged, very fashionable high school students who attend an elite Upper East Side high school. The style harkens back to the 2000s, and it is fabulous. With Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, and Leighton Meester as its stars, this movie contributes significantly to the teenage angst and thriller genres. Oh and guess what…there is a new series of the show. Enjoy!
