Euphoria is the latest controversial teen series to capture the imaginations of Americans, but it wouldn't be here without the many controversial teen series that paved the way for all of Euphoria's illicit hijinks! In the world of Euphoria, high schoolers go fully naked in front of each other on the reg, take drugs, get dangerously entangled with drug dealers, binge drink, experiment sexually with older men, et. al. We can almost guarantee these kids are more hardcore than you were at sixteen, but they're not the only ones.
In the gallery below you can find the ten series that walked so Euphoria could have sex and take drugs! Its closest relative might be the buzzy British series Skins, and we can't forget about recent shows like Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - seemingly innocent comic book-inspired series that are actually awash with teen hypersexuality. Importantly, the success of these two series proved that the world had an appetite for hot teens with problems.
The darker emotional themes of Euphoria were explored in the headline-grabbing show 13 Reasons Why, while salacious teen sex once found a home on the CW's Gossip Girl, which famously proclaimed on a marketing poster for season six that it was "Every parent's nightmare."
Get ready to head back to guy school with the best sexy and nude scenes from the most controversial teen shows ever aired!
