Relying on provocation for the sake of it suggests a crisis of confidence. But the truth is that Euphoria was always more than this. Point out that the violence and nudity are too much and you risk coming across as a prude. In the early episodes, I found it difficult to stomach the prolonged interest in the abusive NateвЂ™s romantic entanglements, given his violent history with his ex-girlfriend Maddy. It is fixated with cruel men, particularly Nate and his awful father. There is so much nudity, so much sex and so much violence its characters batter each other senseless, mentally and physically, and the camera lingers on each and every mark. Euphoria is unrelentingly explicit this time around, as if it took one look at its former self and thought: no, not shocking enough, try this. The party setting is as John Hughes as it gets. This, at least, adds a touch of much-needed black humour, albeit in a grim and gruesome way, before the story winds its way back to that staple of teenage life: a huge house party.

When the story moves into the present day, it does so via RueвЂ™s relapse, taking her on a tour of the surreal underworld of the showвЂ™s fictional city. If it isnвЂ™t clear by now, this is no longer a teen drama (if it ever was one). Rue, the glue that holds the show together, narrates FezcoвЂ™s story.

They were raised by a gangster granny in the Scarface vein (a poster on the wall makes this explicit), the kind of woman who accepts a baby as collateral on a deal and shoots and beats her way around her miniature empire. In flashback, we learn the origins of the local drug dealer, Fezco (Angus Cloud), and his mysterious tattooed younger brother, Ash.

The first part of the opening episode is a gangster movie in miniature. Euphoria has always been in danger of allowing style to triumph over substance, the icy beauty of its cinematography flirting with the idea of it being a little too in love with itself. How disappointing, then, that this long-awaited second season has decided to lean into its crueller instincts.
