Fans Weigh In On How TLC Handled Garrison’s Death

Some Sister Wives fans on social media discussed how TLC handled Garrison’s death. According to the poster, they learned back in college that when a public figure committed suicide, it would often cause a sudden rise in suicide rates around the world. The only exception they could think of was Kurt Cobain’s passing. But the OP thinks TLC handled Garrison’s situation well. Instead of focusing on his death, the network showed how his tragic passing affected the family.

They like how the network showed everyone how a suicide can further break a family’s hearts, and it would never make the world better. The OP clarified that they do feel bad for the Brown family, but showing their grief on TV has become a rare thing to see in today’s culture.

“I agree with you. TLC has done a great job in showing the impact of Garrison’s suicide on his family. Even the fishing excursion was filled with love as the family gathered for an activity together. I could have done with less of Kody and Robyn riding that horse, though. That was totally out of place for this particular episode.”
“Thankfully, TLC has been thoughtful and respectful and I appreciate their effort.”
“I do too. It was a hard mission they had. To be respectful. They did a good job. Especially with the OG family. That last episode was a killer. And how they lead into his death with Meri getting the call from Kody was a gut punch. I’m glad they showed it. But also glad we are past it now. Not that it can’t be referenced but the hard part is over.”
“Agreed. And the fact they waiting to air it u til after the one year mark I very much appreciate.”
“This is a great point!!! The more we educate about the fallout of a suicide, the more we can prevent them.”
