Sharon Stone Advocates for 'Euphoria' to be Shown in High Schools

Sharon Stone stated that HBO's show 'Euphoria' should be shown in high schools across the United States and that parents should also view it. During a conversation with Keke Palmer for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series, Stone praised the show, which has faced criticism for its graphic depictions of sex, drug use, and violence. She described it as 'the greatest show on television' and expressed that it offers an honest reflection of real issues faced by high school students. Stone shared her personal connection to the show's themes, particularly regarding addiction, referencing her brother's past involvement in the drug trade. She emphasized the importance of the show in fostering conversations between parents and their children about difficult topics. However, the show's creator, Sam Levinson, and its stars have cautioned that it is rated TV-MA and not intended for younger audiences. They hope it encourages dialogue between parents and teens, but stress that it is not suitable for viewers under 17 without parental guidance.
