Ok, I didn't watch it. I described it as "some teen drama series glorifying a girl who commits suicide" whenever the show was mentioned. I advised my kids (who are nearly adult age) that they shouldn't even bother with it (they didn't watch it).

Cease any and all contact with that media channel. The only way this works is when the right thing to do also happens to be the profitable thing to do.
