Did 13 Reasons Why go too far with a brutal and graphic scene?

The Daily Beast

Fans of the Netflix series expressed outrage on Twitter over a graphic and disturbing scene in Season 2. Other viewers praised the scene for shedding light on something that's rarely depicted. "My issue with the scene is independent of its graphic nature," says Kevin Fallon. "It’s the fact that it seems narratively exploitative, a random act of violence used to set up the final scenes of the episode and the cliffhanger that leaves things open for what is sure to be a 13 Reasons Why season three." The episode was preceded with a warning that it contained depictions that "some viewers may find disturbing. It is intended for mature audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.”
