Sam Levinson's Euphoria has ended – and after the final episode, which many described as a heartbreaking confession, a void was left behind.
This list features five teenage TV series that rival Euphoria in terms of intense emotions and character development.
5. 'I Am Not Okay with This', 2020
IMDb Score: 7.5/10
Sydney was an ordinary schoolgirl until her father took his own life in the basement. Becoming withdrawn, she distanced herself from her classmates and struggled to connect with her mother, with whom her relationship remained strained.
Her best friend, Dina, increasingly disappears with a smug jock, leaving Sydney alone. But the greatest test lies ahead: terrifying forces beyond her control are awakening within Sydney as a result of her experiences.
4. 'Yellowjackets', 2021-...
IMDb Score: 7.7/10
In 1996, a girls' high school soccer team from New Jersey, en route to the national championships, crashes into the Canadian forest. Several passengers were killed, leaving only teenage girls and an injured assistant coach alive.
In order to survive, they are forced to resort to unthinkable measures.
25 years have now passed. Now grown up, the women are building new lives, but an anonymous threatening postcard suggests that someone knows what really happened in the forest all those years ago.
3. 'The End of the F***ing World', 2017-2019
IMDb Score: 8.0/10
Alyssa is a rebel who disregards rules and authority. Her friend James is a teenager with clear psychopathic tendencies. The two teenagers embark on a journey across Britain together to find Alyssa's biological father.
The End of the F***ing World is a road show about teenage outcasts, based on the comics by artist Charles Forsman. Directed by British indie filmmaker Jonathan Entwistle, the series offers a more accessible take on the dark story.
2. 'Skins', 2007-2013
IMDb Score: 8.2/10
Skins was one of the first shows to tackle issues such as sexuality, mental health and drug addiction in an honest and open way.
With a completely new cast of characters every two seasons, the show simply didn't have a chance to become a soap opera – as soon as one character's journey ended, their lockers were filled with the belongings of the next students.
1. 'Freaks and Geeks', 1999-2000
IMDb Score: 8.7/10
Suburban Detroit, 1980s. 16-year-old straight-A student Lindsay Weir is tired of her good-girl image. She decides to bond with the school's bully group, donning her father's army jacket and distancing herself from her formerly religious friend.
Her younger brother Sam and his friends also struggle to find their place in the school hierarchy. The teenagers experience bullying, first love and parental misunderstanding.
Today, Freaks and Geeks is widely regarded as a classic of television, having introduced the world to James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel.
