TV series show: A 'Euphoric' comeback for Zendaya

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

Its dark depiction of high school life had some critics concerned that "Euphoria" delved a little too deep into some troubling themes. As the series' second season hits screens, Yena Lee tells us why the Zendaya-fronted show makes for a stylish exploration of contemporary struggles with drug use and sexuality, and how it does not shy away from complex or controversial subject matter.

Meanwhile, "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes crosses the Atlantic for another period drama, "The Gilded Age", which charts the trials and tribulations of different social classes in 19th century New York.

We also find out why K-drama "Snowdrop" caused viewers to complain to the government about its handling of South Korea's modern history, and Yena flags up an anthology series that highlights the role of women in the American civil rights movement.
