It's weird. That's kind of just the tip of the iceberg for me tho Yangus. Euphoria from a moment-to-moment basis, and individual storylines/characters are usually well considered, portray valuable lived experiences of teenagers in empathetic, well considered ways. But the sheer volume and close proximity of all this debauchery and youth-problems is just dizzying. These sorts of things happen to kids, but at this volume and density probably almost never. And in the aggregate, it just paints this image of today's Zoomers just being completely out of control, hedonistic, crazy people. And in reality, it's honestly the exact opposite. Statistically speaking, Zoomers these days are orders of magnitude less likely than pretty much all of their predecessors to do drugs and have sex. Kids today have never been more conscientious, engaged, thoughtful, educated, etc. But the show just seemes designed to pray upon and exploit the paranoia and anxieties of stupid Boomers who just assume the kids aren't alright and will lap up anything that reaffirms their warped worldview. And that's before you get to the gratuitous creep factor of a show for adults about graphically sexy teens. I'm sure the people making the show - the actors, writers, directors, etc have good intentions. But the whole thing just feels sleazy and exploitative from a meta-textual perspective. It feels very much like HBO/WB brass that greenlit this show were like, "Mmmm yes give us more creepy Boomer-bait."
