13 Reasons Why is legitimately one of the worst Netflix originals that Netflix has to offer as it does nothing to help viewers who are experiencing depression. I'm sick of those 13RW creators who brag about how proud they are, "Oh we're so proud that we are raising awareness of suicide prevention." Can they just shut up? Selena Gomez and Brian Yorkey are just condescending fools who have zero respect for the community and violated so many guidelines for tackling suicide in the media. I hate how Netflix is constantly adding depressing garbage that nobody wants to watch like 13 Reasons Why and Insatiable and removing so many iconic classics that people want to watch from its streaming library. Besides Stranger Things and OITNB, majority of Netflix originals are just skippable trash that Netflix exploits just for money grabbing purposes. The removal of Friends from the streaming library in the beginning of 2020 has made many Netflix subscribers angry that they were threatening to cancel their Netflix subscriptions as the iconic sitcom departed the streaming service. Nobody wants to waste $14.99 a month on HBO Max just to binge-watch Friends.
13 Reasons Why has sparked extreme backlash from subscribers for its immature treatment of suicide. In fact, suicide rates have skyrocketed as a result of 13 Reasons Why as 13 Reasons exploits suicide just for entertainment and money grab purposes. Netflix, if you think suicide is entertainment, you're lying. It's sad and must be tackled in a serious way. 13 Reasons Why is violent, depressing and simply pessimistic. It's not fair, and shows that disrespect people experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression should definitely be banned from any streaming service.
It would be so much better if 13 reasons why was replaced by Brooklyn Nine-Nine in Netflix US as Brooklyn 99, on the other hand, is an optimistic police procedural sitcom with lots of positive messages to offer to viewers. It received critical acclaim for its diverse cast, reverent humor, intriguing setting, character development, responsible treatment of humanitarian issues while still managing to be funny, and breaking of gender and race stereotypes.
13 Reasons Why is filled with characters from hell that are awful to know and watch; Bryce Walker & Monty de la Cruz were flat-out mean, Hannah Baker was selfish, and Clay Jensen can definitely be considered egregious. However, although the characters in Brooklyn Nine-Nine have some flaws, they are all nice and loving people (Jake Peralta, Charles Boyle, Amy Santiago and Terry Jeffords) that care about each other. It's nice to see characters with unflappable chemistry who respect each other and go out of their way to help others accomplish tasks. Not to mention, each episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is more entertaining than the pervious one. There is comedic consistency, which makes it a worthy show for families to enjoy and binge watch. If Netflix continues to repeat the mistake of adding pessimistic titles to its streaming library just for money grabbing purposes, so many subscribers will cancel Netflix and burn it to the ground until Ted Sarandos apologizes for being irresponsible for all the backlash his company received.
