13 Reasons Why is no stranger to controversy. The first season of Netflix’s adaptation of Jay Asher’s 2007 YA novel followed Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), a teenager who died by suicide and left behind 13 cassette tapes explaining her decision. The series tackled many sensitive subjects, but the decision to show Hannah’s suicide in graphic detail in the season 1 finale faced intense backlash. That’s why earlier this month Netflix announced that the scene depicting Hannah’s death by suicide has been altered to exclude the moment where she slits her wrists in an effort to “help the show do the most good for the most people while mitigating any risk for especially vulnerable young viewers,” according to showrunner Brian Yorkey.
