IS HOLLYWOOD, AGAIN, GLAMORIZING DRUG ABUSE IN EUPHORIA? OR IS IT TRUTH TELLING? –  

Feb 21, 2022 – TV and film elevate storylines by incorporating interesting people, exciting visuals, brilliant dialogue, and a strong soundtrack in an effort to reel the viewer in. That’s their job. Our job as the viewer is to watch and interpret it, compare it to our own experiences, empathize with humans, become triggered, address trauma, feel seen, take away a message, et cetera. I’m glad Euphoria exists, and I’m glad the show provides a warning message with resources.
