I just recently watched all of the two seasons of this show and WOW! I don't think I have ever seen a show this in depth with mental illness and sexual assault. I am 25 years old and read this book in high school and I feel like I need to read again now. The characters in my opinion actually felt real to me and was far from cheesy. I have never cried at any tv show but I started to with a few episodes. People who are against this kind of show must be hugely religious and of course think they should have the say on what others watch. NOPE! I watched and I hope others can watch this amazing show.
