'Euphoria' Explores Opioid Addiction in Season 2 on HBO
The success of Season 2 of "Euphoria" relies on an addiction storyline seen in "Dopesick" and a number of recent movies and documentaries dealing with opioids in American life. The lead character Rue Bennett, a high schooler played by the dynamic Zendaya, is a classic dope fiend; she'll take anything – a pill, a line or a needle.
