Comparações com a Série Original Israelense

Poucos sabem que Euphoria é baseada na série israelense de mesmo nome criada por Ron Leshem e Daphna Levin. Enquanto a versão original tem tom mais documental e contido, a adaptação americana amplifica o drama e o surrealismo. Sam Levinson manteve apenas os nomes de Rue e Jules e a premissa geral, mas reescreveu completamente os arcos e a estética.

Muitos críticos israelenses elogiaram a versão americana por ser "mais ousada e visualmente arrojada", enquanto outros preferem a abordagem mais realista do original.
