13 Reasons Why has also been classified as extremely dangerous for teenagers, for it seems to glamorize depression and promotes suicide acts (Acuna, 2017). Even though the show itself made 'mental illness' as its main theme and it was considered as unusual, it can not be denied how popular the show was, within the show's first season gained a total of 476 million view hours, while its season 2 gained 496 million view hours. Five years have passed since the show was broadcast, and more mainstream media have dared to raise the issue of mental illness. Even though the show itself feels like fresh air in introducing mental illness and is famously known world wide, unfortunately this show is a misrepresentation of mental illness so that it makes people misunderstand what mental illness really is, and then romanticise it.
