I think the parent was implying that the show's effect was time shifting imminent suicides to 'now'. Since the consumption of streaming media is big-spike-on-release + long tail, that big spike when the show is released would still be visible. It would look like a spike and then dip for suicides averaging to the trend line on a larger time scale.

That's a terrific summary. Thank you. I'm predicting a dip based on acceleration versus any real additive effect. I could certainly be wrong but the stats would be enlightening.
