Netflix fans have warned viewers against watching one particularly “graphic” series.
In the Netflix Bangers group on Facebook, streamers gathered to discuss the series 13 Reasons Why and the “heavy” storyline about a girl with
“[…] It’s very intense and I would recommend taking breaks especially if you have a history of self harm or SA [sexual assault].” Another person chimed in: “Yes! So worth watching but it is a heavy show that leaves heavy feelings. Just something to keep in mind.”

A third Facebook user added: “I’m rewatching it for the second time since it came out, it’s amazing. Just be careful, it can be triggering.” Others warned Netflix users that the series covers “sensitive subjects” and that the topics are “sad” but overall many people branded the show “worth the watch”.
Another warning read: “It’s excellent but very raw, traumatic and triggering. The message is deep but it’s definitely heavy!” One person even wrote: “[…] Please proceed with caution if you suffer from mental health problems [red heart emoji].”
13 Reasons Why is a drama series that was originally released in 2017. The show has four seasons and features Dylan Minnette, Katherine Longford, Alisha Boe, Brandon Flynn and Justin Prentice in the lineup.
The series is based on a 2007 novel of the same name and follows high school student Clay Jensen and the tapes left behind by Hannah Baker, another student at his school, before she committed suicide.
A box of cassette tapes include details of why Baker killed herself and the people that she blames for this. The show has received positive reviews although many warnings have been issued due to the graphic nature of the storyline, which includes suicide, sexual assault, bullying and rape.
In response to some backlash, Netflix added a warning card at the start of each episode which informs viewers about the topics each episode covers. In 2019, Netflix decided to edit out the graphic suicide scene that was shown in the final episode of the first series.
