He has covered everything from Marvel to the Oscars, and Marvel at the Oscars. He also writes obsessively about the box office, charting the many hits and misses that are released weekly, and how their commercial performance shapes public perception. In his time at Collider, he has also helped drive diversity by writing stories about the multiple Indian film industries, with a goal of introducing audiences to a whole new world of cinema.

HBO’s Euphoria recently returned with a long-awaited third season, and despite poor reviews, it has emerged as a major ratings hit. The show’s return and controversial reception appears to have encouraged audiences to check out similar titles. For instance, Euphoria creator Sam Levinson’s other HBO series, The Idol, jumped back onto the HBO Max viewership charts this past week. The Idol was even more controversial, having been reshot following behind-the-scenes creative disagreements. However, there’s another similar title that saw a viewership spike in the days after Euphoria’s return, and it’s probably not on most people’s radar.

The show in question premiered in 2023 on Netflix, and revolved around a group of high schoolers at an elite Indian school who find their social hierarchies upended by the arrival of three new students from working-class backgrounds. The show was a remake of Netflix’s own Spanish hit, Elite, which aired for eight seasons from 2018 to 2024. However, the Indian remake has still not returned for a sophomore season despite receiving largely positive reviews. It featured a cast full of newcomers including Anjali Sivaraman, Piyush Khati, Madhyama Segal, Cwaayal Singh, Zeyn Shaw, Chintan Rachchh, Ayesha Kanga, Moses Koul, and Naina Bhan.

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

We’re talking about Class, the eight-episode Netflix series that tackled many of the same themes as the first two seasons of Euphoria. The show dealt with alienation, abuse, and addiction, all while transplanting Elite’s Spanish cultural nuances into an Indian setting. The show holds an 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which happens to be far higher than any season of Euphoria. According to FlixPatrol, Class was among the most-watched shows on the domestic iTunes chart following the return of Euphoria. Each of these titles owes a creative debt to the landmark British teen drama Skins, which served as a breeding ground for a new generation of stars such as Nicholas Hoult, Jack O’Connell, Dev Patel, Kaya Scodelario, and others.
