HBO has consistently sought out ambitious shows that have something new to say about time-honored genres, but the network has never invested in a coming-of-age story set in high school. Not only has HBO exclusively targeted an older audience than those reflective of the characters in Euphoria, but coming-of-age shows on television tend to be far more traditional than anything that would play on the network’s Sunday night lineups. Based purely on the graphic content, star power, and aesthetic inventiveness, Sam Levinson's Euphoria is a series that consciously sparks conversation, ensuring its dominance on more than one streaming platform with each new season — including returning to the top of the charts on the Apple TV Store as a late-night sleeper hit for new and returning viewers.
