Netflix has been asked to put 13 Reasons Why on hold until it's been reviewed by experts.

The Parents Television Council have asked the streaming site to hold off on airing the second season of the teen drama until experts in the scientific community have said it's safe to be consumed by minors (via The Hollywood Reporter).

After the first series of the Netflix original was released, it became one of the most talked about shows on the planet for showcasing tough subjects, including suicide which was portrayed by Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford).

The series revolves around Hannah's suicide which appears unexplained until 13 audio tapes are released to the certain people explaining why she ultimately took her own life.

The show received backlash, to which Netflix responded to by adding a crisis hotline and warning cards. The company also recently announced that it will add warning to season 2 amid the mental health concerns.

The response caused Netflix to put out a blog conversation about the show in which they said that both adults and children found the topics relatable and were more open to discussing those conversations since watching the show.

"Northwestern released the results of that study. 71% of teens and young adults found the show relatable, and nearly three-quarters of teen and young adult viewers said the show made them feel more comfortable processing tough topics," the blog post read.

Netflix have also added that parents are able to alter the format viewings and add a PIN that ensures children can not gain access to certain content.

13 Reasons Why is expected to return for season two in 2018.
