Recently Dear White People has reached a almost unreachable measure of 100% on rotten tomatoes , while 13 Reason Why is sitting at 86%.

While the conversation has been unstoppable there is still a good amount of backlash from each show  with articles on the web asking the question ” Should we let our teens watch these show?”

These shows popularity has stricken conversation and should continue to. 2017  starting off with these controversial shows have been a definite plus and will be a trend to hopefully continue on throughout the year.
