Israeli Tv Series Euphoria

The series follows a group of 17-year-olds who spend their time carelessly having sex and taking drugs, with seemingly no parental authority. Adults appear in the series only rarely, and are always filmed at an angle that obscures their faces. Some of the series plot is based on a true story. Skins has been named as an influence on the creators of the series. The show was met with controversy by Israeli officials such as Orli Yehezkel of the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council who called for the mini-series to be taken off the air.
