Many have taken issue with the series, which is executive produced by Selena Gomez, accusing it of glorifying and romanticizing teen suicide.
In response to the backlash, the show has decided this season to have different cast members appear before each episode to warn of the kind of content to come. Netflix has also implemented an aftershow, where the actors will converse with mental health professionals and educators about the issues in the program. More is available at 13reasonswhy.info.
