It pushes the idea that the individual can have control after they commit suicide. The main character controlled everyone’s lives after she killed herself.

Indeed and going by the trailer, "the tapes were just the beginning".

t did. I watched the show. It was pretty good, but it did romanticize the idea that there can be justice in suicide. It pushes the idea that the individual can have control after they commit suicide. The main character controlled everyone’s lives after she killed herself. IMO, it is not a show for teenagers/adolescents.

It really shouldn't be for anybody. It can have the same effect on adults who might be contemplating suicide.

But you're absolutely right that it does romanticize the idea. The whole point this show tries to make is that EVERYONE ELSE was responsible for the girl's suicide. And the story is about the girl trying to tell everyone it's your fault I did this.

That is the completely wrong message to put out there about suicide.

1) That's not how most people feel when contemplating suicide or attempting and

2) It doesn't matter what the person has been through, or endured at the hands of others... in the end, the decision to end their life is theirs, and theirs alone. When a person decides to end their life, they are actively making their own choice. It doesn't matter how much you argue that this or that person treated them horribly... it still doesn't put those people at fault.
