Plot
Formulaic and predictable film about teenage suicide. In The Washington Post, Alan M. Kriegsman wrote:
Depression and suicide among teenagers is a genuine and formidable problem in our society. Far from affording any worthwhile insight, however, a program such as A Last Cry for Help may actually drive viewers themselves to desperate measures: they may feel an irresistible urge, for example, to change the channel, or even to -- perish the thought -- TURN OFF THE SET.[1]

gollark: E2E is end to end encryption. It's where your message is encrypted between the sender and receiver and not decrypted in the middle. Some messaging apps do that. The point is that the service can't read it.

gollark: What do you mean "useless"? It seems more "bad" than "useless"?
