Even though the series received positive reviews, and is still considered a milestone in German television history, it was denounced by parents' associations. A major allegation was the possibility of inducing copycat suicides.

gollark: Still too vague and you haven't posted the actual code or error messages.
gollark: It might be unfathomable dark magic. I can't tell you *much* if you just provide vague descriptions of what happens.
