Marina Hyde

Well, I'll just do the very basics so that you can get into the story.

But, you know, at the very start when we meet her, she is centered on Zendaya, who plays a character called Rue.

She's a drug addict and it sort of follows her journey, her friendship group starts.

things with her family and i won't say any more because otherwise you're spoiling the stories but but but it's teens and their troubles teens and their troubles try in a in a gritty honest open way euphoria is based on an israeli series of the same name they got sam levinson he created it for the us and in large part it has directed a lot of it certainly directed a lot of the new series and wrote a lot of it

and wrote it yes and it's he is the son of Barry Levinson so he's a sort of Hollywood legacy person and Barry Levinson who directed Rain Man Good Morning Vietnam Bugsy all sorts of things like that so weird in Hollywood to have father and son in the same business

Very strange.

It broke a lot of boundaries.

Not always positive, I would say, because there was a huge amount of kind of nudity and shock value scenes.

I remember, I mean, I think there's one, you have to sign something called a nudity waiver or nudity rider when you're doing these scenes.

I know.

Yeah.

And I think there's one episode where they were literally in the hundreds, these things.

Very many more and somehow less safe in some ways.

No, I'm joking.

Not less safe.

It's very well run as a production.

Although there have always been rumours of people feeling they were made to...

either go too far or and some of the cast have explicitly said oh I was actually Sydney Sweeney started saying you know I started asking for my shirt to be put back on at a certain point because it was unnecessary so it started last night can I ask a question because this I think is the interesting thing about it because often you have these shows that launch big stars why they all come back

Okay.

Well, I think it's both to some degree.
