Euphoria Season 3 premieres

Creator Sam Levinson is facing a backlash from some fans and critics who accuse the show of 'oversexualizing and exploiting' its adult characters.

A scene involving Sydney Sweeney's character Cassie has been labeled a 'humiliation ritual' by viewers on social media.

Despite the criticism, the show remains a cultural juggernaut, with its premiere honoring the memory of producer Kevin Turen alongside its cast members.

The new season takes the high-school characters into adulthood, exploring the 'obvious consequences' of their newfound freedom.
