Euphoria often prioritizes shock value, representation, and identity politics over coherent storytelling or natural character development. Characters are frequently defined by their gender, sexuality, or trauma rather than earned growth or skill. In many cases, narrative cohesion takes a backseat to underlining 'diversity' or modern social issues.

The show repeatedly depicts family, traditional morality, and masculinity as sources of dysfunction or oppression. Religion is virtually absent, and classic formative structures (like nuclear families) are shown largely through a lens of cynicism and ruin. Masculine characters tend to be either toxic or deeply troubled, with female/queer characters given more sympathy and moral clarity.

Euphoria presents nearly all alternative viewpoints as either outdated or villainous. Any hint of traditional values or dissent from its dominant worldview is briefly characterized in negative light, if explored at all. Characters largely promote modern progressive ideas, and serious internal debate is rare.
