Why the controversy? I just finished the show (in one sitting because 13 hours straight is the only way to truly watch something) and I jus don't understand the massive controversy around the show. I've been suicidal off and on for the last 7 years of my life, and this show connected with me. It made me cry many times, but I was glad that it did. I was glad to feel the moments I have felt and to see that I am not alone in dealing with it. Seeing the backlash and how people hurt afterwards is something everyone who has ever considered ending their life needs to see. I loved seeing a show that I feel finally captured a realistic scenery where somebody that age would kill themselves. I hate that everyone is saying its bad to watch for those of us in the same situations, because I think it helps. Anyway, just my 2 cents
