Criminal Minds: To Hell... (2009)
Worse case Ontario, your simple details are lacking
Y'all know it's close to a 23 hour drive in one direction (6ish the other) from southern Ontario to the next provinces, right? "Every policeman in Ontario is on the way to this farm." Lol. No, no they aren't. Also, always amused that we are only our provinces. So many American shows say Ontario, Canada, like it's a city. It's the same as a state! Province = state! Just different words. Would you say they went to investigate in California, USA, without other specifics? So strange. California's huge. So is Ontario, Canada! Geography is useful and underrated!
House M.D.: Simple Explanation (2009)
Excellent
The comments about this not being a realistic suicidal situation are really alarming and just shows how much more awareness is needed around mental health.
This is the most realistic episode for me in the entire series. Depression and mental health issues don't come with a checklist of how you're supposed to act, folks.
A close friend of mine ended his life in his late 20s. He was successful and seemingly happy. None of us saw a sign. He left no note.
The fact that there is no closure in the episode is reflective of real life. You live the rest of your life wondering what you missed.
So no, it wasn't what you typically see portrayed in television and film as "suicidal". Maybe people are upset because they want to believe that if one of their loved ones were in this situation, they'd be able to see it and stop them. Life doesn't always work out that way.
