WARNING: Contains spoilers from seasons 1 to 3 of 13 Reasons Why

Hannah's suicide

In season 1 the show leads up to lead character Hannah killing herself.

The show received a HUGE backlash for airing a three minute scene which saw in graphic detail the troubled teen slit her wrists before dying in a bath.

Tyler's rape

After Hannah's suicide, the next most cotroversial moment has to be when Tyler was horrifically raped.

This happened towards the end of season 2.

Fans begged Netflix to alter the scene which sees Tyler subjected to a brutal rape.

In the scene, Monty and his crew confront Tyler in the bathroom and carry out a violent assault on him with a mop handle.

Speaking about it to , actor Timothy Granaderos who plays Monty said: "I didn’t expect it, but I got kind of nauseous, and my stomach was churning after watching it.

Bryce raping three girls

Serial rapist Bryce was the most controversial character thanks to his campaign of terror on women.

Bryce's victims were Hannah Baker, Jessica Davis and Chloe Winter.

We saw him first rape Jessica at a party after she had too much to drink.

Then towards the end of season 1, he raped Hannah in a hot tub at his home.

But it wasn't until season 3, that we find out he also raped his then-girlfriend Chloe.

Although Bryce ends up dead, he is never punished for his crimes against women.

Attempted school shooting

Tyler's horrific rape was the catalyst for his attempted shoot out at Liberty High.

Armed with rifles and handguns, Tyler was about to storm the school gym, before being talked down by Clay.

Many found the scene traumatic as it reflected on the many school shootings that have happened in the US.
