Hate to do it, but IncompleteĪside from her mom being an aesthetician and her dad an alcoholic, we don’t know all that much about Maddy’s parents. Kat’s mom kept her cool when her wallflower daughter suddenly switched to a dominatrix’s wardrobe in the first season, but she’s completely absent this season.
Let’s just get the underachievers out of the way. Because we know so little about most of the Euphoria parents due to their limited screen time, in some cases we’ll have to distill their influence from the actions of their children, while taking a close look at the explosive parent-child moments scattered throughout the season. Since the Euphoria teens act like (and are played by) adults, we’re going to treat the actual adults of Euphoria like students by grading their performances as parents. As much as we sickos love to witness all the chaos unfold on this prestige soap opera, it must be utterly exhausting for the onscreen parents to watch their kids go through the wringer - how do the Euphoria parents manage? It’s a fair question considering so much of HBO’s teen drama revolves around drug use, graphic violence, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and just about every kind of emotional and physical trauma you can think of.
When it comes to grading bad parenting, Cal really sets the curve.Īt this point, it’s beyond cliché to say Euphoria is every parent’s nightmare, and yet you can’t make it too far in Euphoria discourse before encountering the “Where are the parents?” conundrum.
