Just finished watching this new NetFlix series, very powerful edge of the seat story with superb acting. Highly recommended,

Seems this fantastic series is getting a lot of flack for “sensationalised” suicide
Personally I don't see it, my main take away from the series was the power of consequences from your actions & inaction's!

Netflix show condemned for 'romanticising' teenager's suicide

Mental health groups have criticised a new Netflix drama for its “sensationalised” portrayal of a 17-year-old’s suicide, which they say could encourage young people to take their own lives.

The Samaritans, psychiatrists, and mental health campaigners claim 13 Reasons Why could prompt troubled young people to copy the suicide of its central character, Hannah Baker.

“We have a responsibility to protect children and teenagers,” said Dr Helen Rayner, a psychiatrist specialising in children and adolescent mental health who is also a spokeswoman for the Royal College of Psychiatrists. “Dramatic and detailed portrayals of suicide needlessly put vulnerable young people at risk of copycat behaviour as they see how to carry out harmful or potentially fatal acts.

“Graphic depictions of suicide may only influence a small number of viewers, but the consequences can be tragic.”

I was gonna say are these the same plonkers that claimed 'Trainspotting' glamorised drug taking but having now looked at the article it's coming from credible heavy hitters in the Psychiatrists field!
Although I do find the line about 'see how to carry out harmful acts' pretty ridiculous, people who are sadly in a horrifically dark place and contemplating suicide aren't not doing it because they don't know how too.
