Content Warning: discussions of suicide, self-harm, sexual violence (skip to around an hour in if you don't want to listen to this discussion) We look at the terrible writing of some of the most *controversial* teen dramas on Netflix. Holly looks at all the dangerous presentations of mental health and teen social issues in 13 Reasons Why and Hannah takes us through the bizarre plotlines of Riverdale and shares her theories on why people are still watching the show now it's gone bananas. Lots of pop culture moments of the week including Gabbie Hanna, David Dobrik blinding his friend, Tramp Stamps being industry plants, Demi Lovato yogurt-gate and Zac Efron's new face.
