Re: Euphoria. I have a huge issue with shows that depict teenagers having sex as though they were adults. The camera should not be leering at these characters - I don’t care that the actors are all over 18, the characters aren’t, and aggressively sexualizing them is exploitative.

Especially when a big part of your show’s message is “look how awful and exploitative the world is to young girls” - kinda undermines that when you turn around and do the exact same thing to them.

Spoilers, but one character savagely beats the crap out of another, and they have the good taste to shoot that in a manner where your imagination does most of the violence. But less than 15 minutes later, that same character is in bed with his girlfriend, and her nipples can be seen from space.

It’s unnecessary. Nudity, in general, is far less necessary to most plots and stories than their creators would have you believe.

That’s just me though.
