13 Reasons Why Season 2
Avg 3.9
This is a super controversial TV show that really has people divided on whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. I wouldn't recommend this show if you yourself are in a bad place mentally, since I think it could be quite destabilising, but for those of us who thankfully aren't, I think that it's really important to watch. The issue of suicide is one that has such a stigma attached to it that no one really talks about it, which in my opinion, is really detrimental to those people suffering from depression because they can't get help easily or speak to their family and friends about it. The series follows the story of a girl called Hannah Baker, who was bullied at school for being a supposed 'slut' and then a series of events happened which led her to commit suicide. She then makes tapes, to try and explain why she came to the conclusion that suicide was her only option. It is such an emotional TV show that does have some gruesome parts, but I think it's really important to open up a dialogue about these kinds of issues.
