You are absolutely right they glamorized suicide.
But doesn't all media do that for the most part? I mean, most people are looking for escapism.
It's particularly galling that they do it with suicide, but it's what people want:
1- Movies/TV glamorizes violence from gangsters/mob/police/army... or they demonize it.
2- Movies glamorize drinking/smoking/taking drugs... or they demonize it.
3- Movies glamorize casual sex/strip clubs... or they demonize it.
4- Movies glamorize college... or they demonize it.
5- Movies glamorize having money... or they demonize it.
6- Movies glamorize 'justice' (criminal justice, etc)
I think the series is an insult to everyone who has been exposed to a suicide in their life, but I think that applies to many points. The guy who spent 15 years in jail falsely convicted won't appreciate the BS that is CSI. Just like the guy who is a recovering alcoholic, the ex-stripper, the person who lived real life violence like war, etc.
Whenever something bothers me, and this series bothers me plenty, I look within and why it bothers me. Why other things that might be similar don't. It really helps me understand our shared humanity.
