A lot has been made of Euphoria’s scene with 30 dicks. The show often feels provocative for the sake of it, but Zendaya's brilliant performance grounds this grown up teen drama.

Centred around Zendaya’s character, Rue, a 17-year-old drug addict fresh from rehab following an overdose with no intention of staying clean, the show paints a fairly bleak portrait of the current teenage experience. Sex is treated as currency, shared via illicit photos and videos of underage teen bodies. Negative and damaging behaviours have become ingrained through learning about sex from Pornhub. People are coerced into giving up their virginity.

All of the above is presented realistically, often artistically, and is sometimes – as with the case of the statutory rape and the underage nudes -- integral to the show’s plot. But from the first four episodes that I’ve seen, much of the nudity, scenes of dicks , sex scenes and drug taking are there to provoke parents, politicians, right wing commentators and conservatives, while generating headlines. Courting controversy is this show’s way of getting bums on seats.

One particularly tender dynamic is the relationship between Rue and her 13-year-old sister, Gia. It was Gia who discovered Rue unconscious, covered in her own vomit following her overdose, and as the series progresses it’s clear that Rue’s guilt over this incident will battle with her natural protectiveness. The implications of the overdose spreads out, it’s impact rippling not only across her own family but into her relationships with outsiders, too.

In the first episode, she meets up with one of these men at a motel in a truly distressing scene that leaves a weight in the pit of your stomach. The show gives the horror of this situation he space it needs. However, that Jules somehow is somehow able to pick herself up after the experience and head to a party only piles on the tension in your gut; this isn’t the first time she’s done this and you know it won’t be the last.
