Christian Navarro, a star of 13 Reasons Why, has defended the Netflix show against criticism from some parents and school officials who say it glamorizes suicide.
Schools across the country have issued warnings to parents over concerns about the show.
At the PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly Upfronts party Monday night, Navarro noted the involvement of mental health experts during production.
“I think they’re not watching the same show. When we were working on it, we had tons of mental health experts on set at all times, our producers were very diligent on making sure that the tone was inclusive and helpful and not harmful,” Navarro, 25, told PEOPLE.
