The Werther Effect was well known, from inception, filming and publishing, the concerns seem to have been brushed aside. I really can't see how the studio, netflix and the producers can reject the blame for the induced suicides.
The show distinctly glorifies suicide, playing on the emotional issues and need for acknowledgment of teenagers.
Responsibility does not vanish if the effects are indirect or abstract.
"We produced the show true to the book." is no defense at all and there is a higher moral standard if you sell a product to children still.
