Euphoria, series one
From Tuesday 6th August, Sky Atlantic, 10pm
The American adaptation of Israeli show Euphoria is already a big hit in the US.
However, the eight-part drama is proving to be controversial due to the graphic scenes that depict with raw honesty the nature of addiction, mental health, toxic masculinity, sex, trauma and social media.
Actress Zendaya, who plays 17-year-old drug addict Rue, posted a warning to her fans on social media, explaining that Euphoria is for “mature audiences” with some scenes that are “hard to watch”.
Although Rue is the focal point, the series goes between several different social groups as teenagers try to navigate growing up with the various vices that plague them.
The series stars Hunter Schafer as transgender girl Jules trying to find her place; Jacob Elordi as Nate, a jock who uses his anger to mask sexual insecurities; Barbie Ferreira as Kat, who is dealing with body insecurities while exploring her sexuality; Algee Smith as Christopher, a football star struggling to adapt to college life, and Sydney Sweeney as Cassie, a teen whose sexual history still haunts her.
Euphoria is produced by rapper Drake and has already been confirmed for a second series.

Brassic, series one

However, Dylan’s girlfriend Erin (Michelle Keegan) is a young mum with a plan to leave the town and find a good life for herself and her son Tyler.
Dylan is faced with the impossible choice of following the love of his life and making a fresh start, or staying with his inseparable gang of mates.
The group are made up of Cardy (Tom Hanson), a champion kebab eater and a total liability; Ash (Aaron Hefernan), the son of a family of fighting travellers; Tommo (Ryan Sampson), who is sexually liberated and doesn’t care what people think, and JJ (Parth Thakerar), an entrepreneur who runs a garage plus a side business in stolen cars.
But if one of them leaves the gang, what will happen to the rest?
