What do YOU think is the most controversial teen drama episode? Let us know in the comments!

As much as the suicide scene was graphic, the assault scene on Tyler was way too graphic and man did that give me nightmares!!

I have been a victim of sexual assault as well as a survivor of 3 suicide attempts... The rape scenes and the suicide was very painful for me, but I'm glad they did it! Rape, sexual assault, suicide are all things that happen to "other people" until they happen to you or someone you love! Then nobody talks about it! This show opened up a very real conversation with a lot of parents and kids! They didn't make it look pretty or downplay any of it, they shoved it right in your face and made you feel sick, angry, shaken, hearbroken!!

I'm not squeamish, never have been. the scenes of assault and Hannah's suicide in 13RW have always been stomach turning for me. you can get your point across without being so incredibly graphic.

Of all the glee episodes you chose “loser like me”? Not the shooting episode? Or the eating disorder episode? Or literally any other episode.

That Buffy episode was ahead of its time, long before the "Me Too" era. Luckily, Buffy was able to fight off Spike's sexual advances, but it's even more uncomfortable to watch knowing that James Marsters felt JUST as awkward filming the scene.

One piece of advice when depicting death, suicide or anything else that could possibly trigger your audience is to not directly allude to or show anything on screen or page. While "13 Reasons Why" eventually censored Hannah's controversial suicide, it came too little, too late for many people.

Personally, I feel there is no worse tv scene then what happens to tyler in 13 reasons why. you know what I'm talking about- couldn't sleep after watching that.

I was definitely alright with Glee giving Dave some sort of happiness and redemption type storyline since I didn't think he should be miserable forever, but the writers were on CRACK thinking it would be okay to make Blaine date his ex-bf's bully and abuser, like WHAT?

“Tape 7, Side A,” among other _13 Reasons Why_ episodes, is a prime example of why the novel will always be better.

I never got to watch 13 Reasons Why, but for two good reasons of my own. 1: My family wanted to protect me from harmful media. And 2: The episode Tape 7, Side A was said that the scene in which Hannah took her life was extremely graphic and even triggering. I wouldn’t have wanted to see the series in general.

I was shocked and furious when Blaine started dating the person who bullied kurt 😡🤬😳

Freddie death was tragic skins was an amazing shows. and it had Jack O’Connell for few seasons he’s one of my favourite actors Spoilers cook does get Revenge for the death of his best friend

That scene from 13rw was, in my opinion, necessary and very well done. However, I do understand why would some people fear copycat behaivors, specially in younger teens and people in a vulnerable state.

i loved 13rw exactly for that, because they didn't shy away from showing the darkest scenes uncensored. i don't see how showing her suicide scene is any different from just implying that she did it. Either way the viewer has to deal with the topic, and there are always trigger warnings on netflix, so if you don't like seeing stuff like that, then just don't watch the show.

Number 4 is such a cute scene, powerful and simple at the same time... It's beautiful he isn't afraid of showing his love anymore and he shouldn't be but other made him feel like he should be afraid of the most beautiful feeling ever, and that is, sadly, far from being in the past. Yet, it's always beautiful seeing someone overcome this toxic society we live in for true love ❤

SO glad to see Degrassi receiving some love! To be honest, Degrassi had storylines similar to a lot of the ones listed here, and did them earlier.

I remember watching Degrassi next generation and that episode it was a shocker back in them days.

The One tree Hill episode where Dan shot Keith then blamed everything on Jimmy letting Lucas think that an innocent classmate of his murdered his dad is the saddest episode for me ever

1. It always shocks me to see a young Olivia Wilde on the OC 2. I always felt like Hannah’s suicide scene was important. Not to make a point on how far a series could go, but to show a victim’s loudest thoughts. Hannah hesitates from the first second to her last. She clearly wanted someone to find her. I wanted to find her! It was heartbreaking. But necessary. As a reminder. I feel the same way when I see this Britney Spears music video in which she attempts suicide in almost the same way.

In the book, Hannah kills herself by overdosing on pills, while I do understand why the show-runners changed it to a form of suicide that does happen, in my opinion how a character dies in a book should not be changed in a tv or film adaptation. And I’m sorry, towards the end of season 2 (was it the finale?) where Tyler gets raped by a broom handle is more graphic in my opinion.

I actually like the fact that they didn't censored any of the hard to watch scenes. In real life those moments are not censored, they don't just jump from him aggressively trying to kiss or take of her clothes off, to her waking up after or walking down the street. Neither the suicide scene. They chose this way of taking her own life so people could see the pain in her eyes, the pain with every cut. In real life, you don't just put the razor blade close to your arm and then bam, you die. No, you have to go through all the hurt of knowingly cutting and hurting yourself. I think the show does a good job at being realistic and relatable. I never experienced any glorifying of the suicide scene or the rape scenes when I watched it. Seeing how brutal it is actually help me understand that I'm not capable of hurting myself that way.

For glee Blaine was originally supposed to date Sebastian but he was too busy doing the Flash.. I hated that relationship so much

Hannah, and Justin (13 reasons why) broke my heart! 😭🥺

Half of these I wouldn’t even call “controversial” it’s just because they deal with serious issues and topics. That One tree hill episode was not controversial it was actually praised for how they dealt with such a touchy topic. 13 reasons why I found yes, unsettling to watch, but suicide is not supposed to be easy to watch or discuss. It broke my heart watching that scene - and the whole show tbh - but it really opens your eyes into what people go through and how much pain they’re in. And lolll omg parents getting upset that their kids were watching a show involving a threesome like lol I’m sure half of their kids were already doing it haha

What about the mop assault scene in 13 Reasons Why Season 2. That went way too far. Hannah’s suicide was graphic but it was getting its point across.

Well, Blaine had always been quite insensitive and entitled regarding Kurt, so I wasn't surprised by his turn in s6. What surprised me was that Kurt still wanted him.

Oh god the seeing red episode still haunts the Buffy fan base to this day everyone finds it uncomfortable to watch

Oh my god!!! Buffy and Spike shook me to my core!! Also I love the channel❤️

To me spike and buffy's relationship was toxic 😖

I knew going into this video that the season finale of 13 Reasons Why would end up in the top slot of this countdown. I actually applaud the show and its creators for not shying away from the seriousness of the topic of suicide. In the "Tape 7, Side A" episode we saw Hannah providing a cry for help, a very loud cry for help, and having someone who should have been a safe, reliable adult let her down. Was the final scene graphic? Yes, it was, but I don't believe for a minute that it glorified suicide or was included for shock value. They put an uncomfortable, yet very real, image of what so many people go through into the mainstream. It forced many adults to have difficult conversations with their kids that they might not have otherwise had.

Wasn't that episode of Glee "I kissed a girl" controversial? I've heard it received a lot backlash back then

for me one of the worst parts about that episode of 13 reasons why was when we found out who number 13 was, in very real way he could have saved her but he failed Hannah

Great msmojo video 📹 👏

#10 terrible show #9 shit show #8 awful show #6 terrible show with unlikable characters #2 A moment so badly handled and exploitative that Spike's actor walked off the set pissed that he did the scene and told the writers to f#$% off #1 You mean the show & scene that glorified suicide caused a RISE in suicide? Who didn't see that coming? This is stupid

I don't see enough love for one tree hill, that show changed my life. That episode was so powerful... listening to Jimmy's cries as he disconnects from the world. And then Dan killing Keith broke me.

Hmmm... is it deliberate? I mean, each pick is seemingly from: abortion, suicide, gun violence, teacher-student relationship, coming out as gay, coming out as lesbian, rape in a relationship, homophobic turned to a member of the lgbtqia+, threesome, obsession turns deadly.

Well, I saw the scene before it was edited, so I can definitely say that Hannah's suicide scene was incredibly disturbing.

I think it was ideal for 13rw to show that scene. As horrific and graphic as it was, it was necessary, to show viewers what it’s really like for someone in pain.

the One Tree Hill school shooting will never leave me 😔

20 years later I still hate Seeing Red... Why did they do that to Spike!!!

I remembered when I watched 13 Reasons Why and I couldn't believe how graphic the finale was. It was so so graphic. Another scene that was graphic was the sexual assault by Monty to Tyler. I stopped watching this show after season 2. It as just becoming too much and just wasn't that into it anymore. I also remember the scene from One Tree Hill and was shocked at what happened to Keith. It was so messed up how he was killed by his own brother and he was never arrested for the crime.

I loved 13 Reasons Why. But even there’re parts of the show that were hard to watch including Hannahs suicide.

Glee's shooter episode should've been on here

Some of my favorite shows and favorite moments!

Haven’t yet seen the eps following Glees entry w Dave & Blaine dating starting off season 6 (meaning this isn’t a comment comparing what occurred here v what I’m positive is much more gruesome in the upcoming shows ahead. QAF wasn’t a teen drama, but there was an unbelievably scary gay bashing at the end of season 1, so I can guess at what might occur. Glee itself had Dave attempt suicide and Quinn was in what appeared to be t most frightening road accident I’ve seen on tv OR in the movies.) So. Having made my qualification, I just wish to say that of course, CC being a tremendously fine actor, he made the audience feel his gut wrenching pain of that moment. But moving away from Kurt’s immediate reaction, or even the fact that he himself had forgiven Dave for the hell he had put Kurt thru thruout high school, it’s a completely different thing for BLAINE to date the boy that had threatened to kill his fiancé (ex-fiancé). Dave might not have truly meant to actually, literally “kill” Kurt, but Max Adler is also a wonderful actor & I honestly believed that Kurt was in danger of being raped in a restroom and/or being beaten within an inch of his life. Kurt had actually grown at this point (he no longer resembled an eleven yr old milkmaid) but even so, he was still about one third the size of Dave (or maybe it just appeared that that way). In any case, that was the worst case scenario, following his attempt to start something w Kurt - clearly without his consent - and it came on the heels of years of being shoved into lockers, tossed into dumpsters, having pee balloons apparently thrown at him. The one nonsurprising element of the show was that Kurt showed an interest in the suicide pamphlets at the beginning of sophomore year, bc no matter how much he wasn’t willing to show on the outside, he was miserable on the inside. He was strong about some things - his love for his dad, how much he cared about his friends once he made some - but his self esteem was crap. I’m not saying this,well. A better analogy would,be that my sisters or my close friends could date, even marry certain men, but once they cheated on them or hit them or did something bad, no matter WHAT my sister or friend decided they were going to do, I personally NEVER forgot what they had done & it remained in the back of mind, ready to spring out if he should mess up again. And I would NEVER, EVER date any of the guys that my sisters or friends dated for any serious length of time. (Meaning if they happened to go out one time that was one thing, but if they saw one another for a couple of months, even if they didn’t consider it really important, they were no longer datable. ) The fact that Blaine met Kurt bc Dave was making his life so miserable and terrifying that KURT ACTUALLY CHANGED SCHOOLS TO GET AWAY makes the idea of him dating Dave, even a couple of years later, beyond ridiculous. He could become friends w him, perhaps, to try and build up the self esteem of a guy who actually tried to take his own life (altho it appeared as if Dave was attempting to fix that thru sex w every bear in the community). But the two of them dating was creepy, especially bc he had shown a scary interest in dating Kurt (right before his life went to hell). In fact, I’m probably reading too much into this, but when Blaine and Dave finally break up bc Blaine cheats (yet again) except this time it’s w his soulmate - not a random from social media - Dave makes a point in asking which of the two of them made a move on the other, and I got the idea that he continues to have this idealized version of Kurt in his head. (That really is probably just me, but I think that every time I watch that episode.) Blaine dating him was wrong on so many levels. I think the writers must have been smoking crack. For real.

I never watched 13RW but to glamourise suicide is disgusting. Worst thing Netflix has ever done

I think 13 Reason why most empact full series so far

People need to understand this once for all: NOT talking albout suicide does NOT prevent it from happening!

I watched 13 Reasons Why in middle school. MIDDLE SCHOOL! I was like 13! I’m just now realizing while watching this video that that’s way to young to watch that show. Like seriously, I was barely a teenager but that was when the show first came out so nobody talked about how graphic and traumatizing the show can be so I stuck with the show since the last freaking season when I was finally in high school. The scene that really traumatized me for years after watching the show was Tyler’s assault. I still think about that scene sometimes.

Can you make a Top 10 celebrities portaying the killer in CSI?

Before I proceed with the video, I honestly came here for Euphoria. The show as a whole is filled with shocking moments so well put together and talking about serious subject in a very raw and a real/no-nonsense way, that it is the only thing I think about when "shocking" and "show" is mentioned.

Not even going to front, that Dave Karofsky reveal at the time led me down the Klainosky fanfiction black hole, and it was great!

Someone below said it right things that happen in real life do not get censored and they did before every show of 13 Reasons Why told people what the show was about and the things could trigger you. But we need to see those hard things.

Came for Degrassi and was not disappointed :)

I remember that they couldn't even show the entirety of "Accidents Will Happen" in the states. The N just took the B plots of both parts and called them "Extras" so we wouldn't be confused why Toby and Jimmy got detention and why Liberty is dating Towerz.

I don’t know if anyone else have thought of this but I can’t help but think about how Hannah recorded all of those tapes all while knowing she was going to kill herself. Like how do you do so much prep for something like this all while being fully ready to kill yourself? Did she not have a second of doubt while thinking about what to say in the tapes. Or is it all just the whole ‘maybe they’ll listen to me when I’m dead’?

Whoever thinks 13 reasons why went too far , needs to stop being sensitive. That happens in real life.

I'm a little surprised that Ms Mojo found the Gossip Girl threesome to be underwhelming. I remember watching it when it came out and gasping. I get that they didn't show everything (which I wouldn't expect because it's primetime tv on a basic channel) but they do show a bit more in the following episode as well. But, as a fan, that moment felt big because I had never seen a threesome on that kinda show yet, Hilary Duff still felt like a child star so it was crazy to see her having an adult threesome, and it felt like I had waited FOREVER for Dan and Vanessa to hook up.

The hot tub rape scene is 13 reasons why, the mop scene in 13 reasons why and the suicide scene and when her parents find her made my stomach drop to the floor.

When Hannah’s mom came rushing into the bathroom to find her daughter 😥

Number 1: 95% of Normal People

That suicide scene in 13RW was so graphic. I am not squeamish at all and it made me cringe. Please don't watch this show if you struggle with depression or if you're suicidal. It's guaranteed to make you feel bad.

One Of My Controversial Moments That Left Me Scarred And Broken Was The Ghost Sonata From Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists When Alison & Emily Signed Their Divorce Papers!!! It Tore Me Apart 3 Years After It Was Cancelled, If This Brand New Version Of The Same Name Original Sin Approaches On HBO MAX This Season Is Gonna Absolutely SUCK. THAT SHOW DESERVED BETTER!!!

Am I the only who actually prefers the graphic part in 13rwtape7. I mean yes it's horrific to watch but that's exactly the point. There's no sugar coating it, suicide is horrible for everyone involve, by showing that scene you actually see how gruesome, sad and awful it is. But that's just me, it's not suitable for everyone but it is eye opening for anyone to see how terrible it is and how it was led to it.

I’m sorry but Tyler’s assault was way worse than Hannah’s, and also worse than the suicide scene…

"RUNNING ZACK" 🔞 Saved by the Bell (1989-1993)

All very powerful and memorable to me. But tree hill will always affect me due to Keith being shot by his own brother . And of course Jimmy taking his own life.

Didn't you do this countdown already?

I was in collage when Marissa and Alex kiss happened and remember hearing guys going up and down the hall screaming, so excited!

What about any scenes from The Vampire Diaries which I thought at the time was dark and risky in some episodes... I can't believe that they got away with some stuff on The CW.

I love Buffy❤Still

I’ve always hated the whole Buffy and spike thing it ruined spike as a character when he was obsessed with Buffy… hated it then still hate it now!!!

I'm honestly really shocked that they didn't include the school shooting episode from Degrassi. I think that one was way more controversial than Manny's abortion and it left viewers feeling shocked, sad, and a little empty inside.

Manny pissed me off when she kept saying “I can’t do this I can’t do that” it just made her sound selfish. Like girl all you had to do was make sure you used protection and now you expect sympathy? Don’t get me wrong I love Manny to death and always will but I hated those episodes.

If only people had the intellect to actually read the books first. Maybe they wouldn’t be so shocked by the exact events described in the book, as well as all of the TW’s before the episodes happening

I hate the idea that something "wouldn't get made today" or similar sentiments but with everything going on with the Supreme court rn I truly wonder if an episode like "Accidents Will Happen" would be broadcast as it was meant to in the states today. I'd like to think so but who knows

Degrassi is the best. But how about the school shooting episode?

I’m still recovering from Freddie’s death it was so shocking and brutal god I love skins it’s literally the best teen drama ever made no any other show about adolescent will ever reach this level of perfection and realism but that was just cruel and unnecessary sometimes I am questioning myself why I am still watching it

The Glee episode "Loser like Me" while the pairing didn't feel right it was realistic

Only one I one I knew was #1 and I agrree

Anyone who thinks the 13 reasons why finale went too far is too stupid to do anything, it was supposed to be graphic it was supposed to upset people. Netflix cutting out her suicide scene was one of the single dumbest things any service has ever done and I think it marks a direct part where the entire company started to go downhill

Olivia and Vanessa looked like they enjoyed it

you forgot the Buffy the vampire slayer episodes earshot and graduation part 1 & 2

That gossip girl was definitely cringy for me…

Buffy was the only show I watched. I guess Secret Life of an American Teen wasn't as popular.

Aint nothing controversial about "Loser Like Me" lmao. The most controversial episode is the Shooting episode. They literally used the Sandy Hook massacre as inspiration.

there's definitely more tree hill lockdown also the fosters rape switched at birth gossip girl controversy can be anywhere or on anything not just teen dramas also reality shows or movies it can be discerning and also very hard

There were multiple trigger warnings for for the 13 reasons why scenes. Watch at your own discretion?

I didn't expect skins to be here

Just wanna talk about the r*pe episode on Switched at Birth that still gets me angry until this day.

Greetings, I sincerely want to comment on the following, it makes me a little hypocritical to put Buffy and in the juvenile dramas since that situation with Spike, although it is delicate, we must also remember that Buffy many times when she wanted to have sex and Spike had to be subdued as when Buffy is Invisible and there was no complaint, but when the situation was reversed Then it became a drama and Spike became the Villain And that part Since I saw it many years ago it never seemed fair to me. I think that the gender issue really makes it bigger than it is, Buffy was also very Abusive And that part is not Commented, it is taken with humor, the abuse also existed from Buffy and there is not Commented. On the other hand, in the case of Hannah Baker, the entire series is focused on a suicide and it is natural that it is in the first places, but honestly, it is good. I consider that the way in which the veins are cut is very impressive, I think that the scene where Jimmy Edward commits suicide and what he says here is more painful, it is a stronger scene and it was only put together in 2 chapters. I think Jimmy's death deserved a better place

Euphoria was so boring. I couldn't even finish the first season.

Can y’all believe i have yet to watch 13 reasons why🙂

Glee s3 e14 - On my way and s4 e18 - Shooting Star are far more controversial episodes than Glee s6 e1 - Loser like me. Anyone who's seen the show can agree with me

Omg

I am early
