This series has gone downhill fast in the third season. The first two seasons were great - addressed the topic of suicide and rape and seemed to have direction. This third season is all over the show ! Grasping at every straw it can find, from homicide, school shootings, abortion etc ... these are all relevant topics but they are being totally undermined by the writers desperate attempts to cram everything in, in a pathetic attempt to retain viewers. It's basically become like a really bad soap opera !
