Discussion Just started watching the Original Euphoria (2012) but it's nothing like the one we all know and love.
The only thing they have in common is the drugs, sex, social media, and maybe trauma. But the shows are completely different. OG Euphoria is more on par with skins. I can't tell which character was based on which. It's like Sam Levinson just stole the title and topics and turned it into something else. The American one is more like a college show with its first 2 seasons and the 3rd season is almost like a western. They are both heavily influenced by skins but og is more like skins imo. There's no bright colors, glitter, neither constant drama or even a drug addicted protagonist in OG. There is sex and nudity involving minors but it's completely different than the one with Zendaya. There isn't a Cassie counterpart, a Nate Jacobs counterpart, or even a Jules counterpart. There's no female lgbtq representation at all in OG. So far I prefer the remake over OG. But there are completely different beasts. It's crazy af how americans can steal something and turn it into something else. I'm also American btw. There are full episodes on YouTube with Latin dubbed. All you have to do is turn on captions and auto translate to English.
