Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
Euphoria receives a Left-Leaning rating due to its dominant themes aligning with progressive values, particularly through its empathetic exploration of gender identity, mental health, and addiction among diverse youth, often highlighting societal and familial failures rather than individual moral failings.
The series features a highly diverse ensemble cast, intentionally centering characters from various racial, ethnic, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds in lead roles. Its narrative explicitly engages with and critiques traditional identities, particularly toxic masculinity, while making themes of gender identity, sexual orientation, and mental health central to its storytelling.
Secondary
Euphoria provides a complex and raw portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, notably Jules's transgender journey and Rue's queer relationship. While their experiences are fraught with addiction and trauma, the show depicts their identities and relationships with dignity and depth. Obstacles are framed as external, maintaining an empathetic stance that affirms the worth of their lives and love amidst chaos.
Euphoria features Jules Vaughn, a central transsexual character portrayed with significant depth, agency, and complexity. Her journey explores themes of identity, relationships, and trauma with an empathetic lens, affirming the worth of trans lives and experiences despite the challenges she faces.
The show portrays Christianity primarily through characters who exhibit hypocrisy, performative piety, or struggle under the oppressive weight of conservative religious expectations. It highlights the disconnect between professed values and actions, offering no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal of the faith itself.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Euphoria (2019–) is an adaptation of an Israeli miniseries, but its main characters are largely original creations for the American version. There are no instances of characters who were canonically established as one gender in prior source material being portrayed as a different gender in this show.
Euphoria is an original series with characters created specifically for the show. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' races could have been established and subsequently changed.
