Netflix’s popular teen drama “13 Reasons Why” has ignited more backlash in its sophomore season.

A scene that troubles viewers involved the bullied Tyler (Devin Druid).

The episode begins with a warning: “The following episode contains graphic depictions of sexual assault and drug abuse, which some viewers may find disturbing. It is intended for mature audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.”

In the scene, Monty (Timothy Granaderos), one of the baseball team members, beats Tyler up — first smashing his head against a bathroom sink and then plunging his head into a toilet. He then sexually assaults Tyler using a mop, and Tyler is left bloodied in the bathroom.
