What is Euphoria about?
We should probably get it out the way that rapper Drake is the mastermind behind this show - well, he acts as a co-producer, so that’s an interesting fact right there alone.
The series itself, however, follows the life of a 17-year-old drug-addict named Rue Bennett, who is played by the ever-so-beautiful Zendaya, who just recently starred in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
She is found by her sister after having suffered an overdose and is therefore sent back to rehab just as the series commences.
Interestingly enough, the facility where she’s staying only ends up teaching her how better to hide her addiction from family and loved ones.
