Reed Hastings’ comments from the Netflix shareholder meeting (via Deadline) is far more short and sweet than the streaming service has historically defended 13 Reasons Why.
There are content warnings, each episode ends with a number for a crisis hotline, and there is also an after show that helps unpack the season’s contents and provide care for any especially emotional Netflix subscribers.
But the calls for the show to be cancelled certainly haven’t dulled, which is likely why Hastings has taken a stronger stand this time around.
Due to the sensitive nature of the show, the streaming service has put in a variety of measures to protect young audiences and provide them with after care and resources.
