The Parents Television Council has urged streaming giant Netflix to put on hold the release of the second season its hit show "13 Reasons Why".
The conservative group said Netflix should pause the release of the second season until "experts in the scientific community have determined it to be safe for consumption by an audience that is comprised heavily of minor children".
The show was heavily criticised last year for the graphic depiction of its lead character's suicide. It also touched upon various other issues such as teen depression, bullying, rape and suicide.
Netflix had last month announced that it added warning cards and crisis hotlines information to episodes and also commissioned a global research study with Northwestern University's Center on Media and Human Development titled, "Exploring How Teens and Parents Responded to 13 Reasons Why."
